Happy Friday! How about a giveaway to kick off your Friday morning?
If you adore high-quality fruit, today’s giveaway will be right up your alley.
Back in October I had the honor of touring the incredible Harry & David orchards in Medford, Oregon with a handful of other bloggers. It was a truly unforgettable trip and I fell in love with the company, their delicious food and beautiful Oregon!
I’ve stayed in touch with the folks at Harry & David and was awfully excited when one of their incredible gift baskets showed up at my doorstep last Saturday.
The basket was the company’s Fresh Fruit Basket Deluxe and I immediately pulled all of the different kinds of delicious fresh fruit out of the basket to check out the goods!
As of this morning, Ryan and I have made our way through 90 percent of the basket and were, once again, impressed with the high quality of the fruit Harry & David delivered. Every single piece of fruit was blemish-free and full of flavor.
Naturally the company’s pears deserve a lot of praise, but I was particularly impressed with the quality of the mango, kiwi and pineapple in this basket!
I swear this stuff is like fruit candy. So sweet!
As for the gift basket itself, you better believe I kept it. We’re now using it as a pretty way to store towels.
And now here’s your chance to win your own Harry & David Fresh Fruit Basket Deluxe!
In the basket:
- 3 Royal Riviera Pears
- 4 Apples
- 2 Kiwi
- Papaya
- Pineapple
- Baby Bananas
- 2 Limes
- Avocado
- Mango
To enter this giveaway, please leave a comment below, telling me what fruit you’re most excited to try in the basket, or, if you’d like to send the basket to someone else as a surprise, please comment telling me who you’d send it to and why. I will randomly select a winner on Monday morning.
Good luck!

I’d love to try the fruit basket mainly for the baby bananas for my 3 yr old daughter. After struggling through a year of her being a stubbornly picky eater, she’s finally opened up to eating lots of fruit & vegetables again and the mini bananas are the perfect size for her! I would love to try the mango for myself, as I know how delicious their pears are, I can only imagine how good the mango (my favorite) would be.
Fresh fruit is one of my all-time favorite indulgences…particularly the pineapple! Yum! 🙂
I love a fresh, ripe mango. Hoping I win!!!
I LOVE mangos and have had a pear from them before… amazing!
I LOVE pineapple and that one looks delicious! And H&D pears are hard to beat.
Mango! I think I’ve only had them dried before so I’d like to try a fresh one 🙂
I’d be all about the mango and pineapple! Nothing is better than fresh fruit that is sweet and perfect!! It would be the perfect treat for the winter right now 🙂
Do I have to pick just one? I want them all! However, I am especially eager to try the mini bananas (my favorite fruit), mango and papaya. My fiance would love to get his paws on the avocado and make some fresh guac!
Everything looks great bu ti’m most excited to have the mango….YUM!
Pineapple is one of my top favorite fruits, so I’d probably say that one! They all sound wonderful though.
I’m definitely most excited about the pears, especially after seeing them with your meals all the time. They look so tasty!
I would be most excited to try the mango. I love making mango salsa from them during the summer! Basket looks beautiful with the towels too!
I am dying to try the pears! But, I’m a sucker for avocado too 🙂
Love mangos! And somehow I don’t think I’ve ever had papaya!
Pineapple! Its one of my favorite fruits but I rarely buy it because its often not that good.
Excited for the mango and papaya – two fruits I wouldn’t normally buy. Thanks!
Olalala! That basket is beautiful. I’m trying to get myself to incoporate more fruits in my diet so this would be great. I’d be all about that pineapple!
I would love to try their kiwis! What a great gift basket.
I would love to try the mango!! It all looks good!
I would love to have this basket but would send it to my grandmother who was diagnosed with cancer this week. She for sure needs a pick me up and I know she would love this.
I’d love to try the papaya! I didn’t realize Harry and David carried such exotic fruits!
I am seriously addicted to pears lately, so the pears gave my vote 🙂
i want the mango. and the pears. and the pineapple. and the pretty basket to store fun things in. gimme gimme gimme.
I would love to try out ALL the fruit in this basket! I think if there is one fruit I would be most excited about, it would have to be the papaya. I can’t tell you the last time I ate a wonderfully ripened papaya!
Harry and David fruit is amazing! I would love to try the mango because it’s my favorite summer fruit and I could really use some summer during February in Chicago!
I would love to win this basket so I could send it to my parents!! They need a little pick-me-up and this would be perfect!
I love mangos and haven’t had a good one since I lived in south Florida!
The pears!! I have always heard about Harry & David Pears and would love to try them!!
I have a slight obsession with avocados and mangos! I have never tried a papaya but have heard delicious reviews!!!!
I’d be most excited about the pineapple! The taste reminds me of the sun, and living in dreary Holland, we haven’t seen much of that for last few months.
I would give this basket to my boyfriend as a healthy Valentine’s Day basket. He’s been trying to incorporate more healthy foods, like fruits, into his diet this year and I know this would make him smile ear-to-ear. Although most store bought Valentine’s Day baskets are chuck-full of chocolatey treats (which everyone loves), I think he would be over the moon excited for a basket like this instead! Thank you:)
the baby bananas! i have seen them in the store before, but never actually tried them! Also the mango. yumm!
baby banana for sure~!!! i’ve never tried them and wonder if they are sweeter than regular bananas….hmmmmm
Avocados! I love them, yummy
I would love to win the basket because I plow through fruit at an alarmingly fast rate! This would save me some money and also allow me to taste some fruits I’ve never had before like papaya!
I would probably end up being MOST excited about the pears, since that is what they seem to be known for! And the mango as well. Since they don’t seem to be in season where I live, it has been FOREVER since I’ve had one…try July of this past summer!
I would love to try the pineapple! Hands down my favorite fruit.
I would be most excited for the papaya! Yummy papaya is hard to find in the mountains of Virginia!! 🙂
I’d love to try the pears!! I’ve heard they taste as sweet as candy!
oh man! That basket looks amazing!! For me, it would be a toss up between the mango and the pear -I’ve always wanted to try a H&D pear!
What a beautiful basket! Pineapples are my favorite. Yum!
I would LOVE to try the papya and the kiwi!! Nothing like Nature’s candy while training for my half marathon!! 😉
Living in Idaho in the winter any of the fresh, tropical fruit would be a real treat!
Definitely the kiwis…I never buy them on my own!
Oh the pineapple looks awesome! I’d send the basket to the family my roommates and I rent from. Our lease is about to end and they’ve been great landlords!
I work as a dog walker in Chicago, and this sub-ten degree weather is making me dream of beaches and tropical fruit right now! I would be most excited to try the pears!
Hi! I have never posted to your blog before, but I love coming here to see what new recipes and workouts you are doing! When I saw the fruit basket this morning, I got excited and realized I had to post today since fruit is my favorite thing, especially the mangoes! My husband and I got back from our honeymoon a couple of months ago, and I ate a bowlful of mangoes every morning because it was so fresh on the island. Yummm!
I work as a dog walker in Chicago, and these sub-zero wind chills are making me dream of beaches and tropical fruit right now! I would be most excited to try the pears!
I’m most excited to devour it in the most barbaric, messy way possible.
I mean,..errr… definitely the pears! 😉
The pineapple looks amazing! I would be thrilled to try it. My grandmother used to grow pineapple in her yard in South Florida, and that was one of my favorite treats to have when I visited her home!
