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. Love. Mangoes. They are sooo delish and I don’t get them very often, so it feels like such a treat when I indulge! Yummmmm
All the fruit looks amazing! I would love to try the kiwis, pears and pineapple. I have at least 5-6 different kinds of fruit weekly in my household so this would be great for my family!
I’m most excited for the pinnaple. A fruit basket it just want a need as a pick me up during this cold NYC winter.
I’d love to try the pineapple! MY favorite fruit….MMMM
I would send this to my grandma, when we go to Spain to see the family we go apple picking and she also loves frying up fresh bananas or platanos
My husband and I are addicted to fruit but we try to limit how much we buy because it is so expensive. we would love this! I would be particularly excited to try the pineapple!
I am really excited to try the mango! It is so hard to find a good mango!
After hearing all about the pears, that would be my first taste.
This time of year in the Northeast I get such a hankering for ripe fruit!
I would love to try the pears! I have never tried them so I would like to see if they live up to the hype 🙂
i love harry and david baskets! my grandmother used to send me one every winter and they always make me think of her. i’d love to try this one with all the delicious looking tropical fruits!
I want to try the pears!
I would love to try the papaya but I have to admit that I’ve never had Harry & David ANYTHING, so really I would be excited about EVERYTHING in the basket!
Oh the pineapple! As I sit and watch the snow come down-a pineapple could at least make me feel like I am in warmer weather. (if it is only in my imagination!) 🙂 keep smiling!
I would love to have it sent to my Grandma. She is where I got my love of fruit from, and I know she would be ecstatic to find one of these baskets at her door!
I’m excited to try the papaya! Yum!
This basket of fruit looks amazing!
Hi Julie – I would love to send this basket to my Husband as he recently had surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma from his nose and this will brighten him up. He absolutely loves pineapple and would be thrilled with all the other fruit as well. 🙂
I would love to try the PINEAPPLE!!! I love me some pineapple!
I’m most excited about the mango (super high on my list, probably tied for number 1 with strawberries) and the pineapple. They look so beautiful and I would love to dive in and devour all of that fruit.
I would love to try the apples, which are my absolute favorite. And of course the pineapple too! My roommates would be so excited to get a treat like this!
I would love to try the papaya, I’ve never had a fresh papaya before.
I want to try all the fruits, especially the pineapple!!!
Most excited to try the mangoes. I LOVE mangoes!
I’d love to taste those pears and the pineapple! Yum!
As a lover of all things twee I want to try to baby bananas. Oh and the pears because I’ve heard such great things. Ohhh. Pick me! Pick me!
Apples- yummm!
I would love all of the fruits in here, but I would be most excited to try their famous pears! Yum Yum!! 🙂
Mangos rock my world – so those would definitely be my first pick 🙂
I’d love to eat that entire pineapple. In one sitting. By myself.
🙂
I, like many, would love to try one of those pears! They are GOLD wrapped! However, instead of me trying it, I’d like to send this to one of my besties & her sister who just moved out to Montana! They would love a little recently relocated across the US gift 🙂
I would love to try the mango! I usually buy apples, bananas, and blueberries, so it would be a treat to mix it up a bit with a few tropical options 🙂
Toss-up between pineapple, one of my favorite fruits, and their famous pears! Would love to win such a delicious looking fruit basket!
i would want to try the pineapple!
I would like to try the pears. I have heard so man bloggers rave about them.
I am absolutely OBSESSED with the pears from Harry and David. I could eat them all day every day.
YUM!! I would be most excited for the mango. My husband grew up in India and raves about how no other mangoes in the world taste like mangoes from home. My bet is that any fruit from Harry & David could be a pretty decent rival. Plus, it would be a sweet Valentine’s gift 🙂
I would love to try the papaya. All that photography of beautiful fruit is making me hungry!
YUM! It all looks delicious, love fresh fruit. I would love to try that tasty looking pineapple! I’m a huge fan of the stuff!
The pears. Obviously.
avocado! I would make guac.
definitely the pears! i have to see what all the hype is about. 😉
I’ve never had papaya (weird I know) so I would love to give it a whirl if I won this fruit basked. And those pears look to die for. And the pineapple. And everything else. Mouth. is. watering.
I’d love to try the pineapple!!
That pineapple looks amazing! I’d love to whip up a pineapple salsa and add in that avocado!
Mmm… the pineapple looks delish!
I would love to try the pears since you have been raving about them !
I would love to try everything, but especially the pears! I love pears and nothing beats a perfect one.
Ooo I’ve never tried mini bananas and of course I’d love to try the famous H&D pears!
My mom would be thrilled to receive a gift basket! Of course, I’d have to help her sample the goods! I must try those pears.
I’ve never really liked pineapple, but recently had some in Hawaii, and found I really like Hawaiian pineapple! Would love to challenge my previous pineapple dislike with a Harry and David pineapple, and all the other goodies included!
I’ve been dying to try their pears for years! That pineapple looks awesome, too.
