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!

Pears and Pinapple would be my favorite to share with my family!
That pineapple! I adore fresh pineapple 🙂
The PEARS! I love, love, love these. Growing up, my dad used to get a basket each Christmas and I always looked forward to them!
I’m most excited to try the pineapple. Yum!
The Harry and David pears are out o this world!
Is ‘all of the fruit’ an acceptable answer? Because it all looks and sounds so good! I’m a bit partial to the pineapple and mango though 🙂
The PEARS! I always hear how great the are but haven’t gotten to try one!
Pears and the pineapple! Yum!
I’d love to send the basket to my Mom who lives in the Bahamas, where oddly enough, despite the warm weather, it’s hard to get good, fresh fruit buuuuuut it’s kind of hard to send stuff there, so I’d probably just have to eat it myself… 😀
Harry & David is known for their pears, so that’s what I would be the most excited to try! 🙂
I’ve never even tried a H&D pear, but I’d love to try the pineapple. It would be a nice reminder of summer up here in the windy, snowy Midwest.
The pineapple, for sure!
Pears are my FAVORITE fruit, EVER! Nothing beats a pear in my book. I’d love to send this to my boyfriend’s office!!
I would live to try the pears and mango!
I would love to try the mango or the pears!
I would love to try the pears. I’ve heard they are the best from a bunch of people!
mmm royal rivera pears sound fantastic! also the mango because getting high quality mangoes this time of year is tricky (for me at least)!
The papaya would be first to disappear.
I love pineapple, it makes me feel like I am on vacation. I’m also excited about the pears.
Pears 🙂

The mangoes! I’ve actually never tasted one. But I love fruit,would love to win this!
I would love to try the pineapple. I love pineapple, but for some reason I never buy it.
I’d like to send this gift basket to my parents. They have been displaced for the past three months since their house was severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. My dad has also just been diagnosed with cancer. They could really use something happy and healthy to help them keep their spirits up.
Oh yeah, and my dad would like the standard apples and pears, and my mom would love the tropical fruit.
I love pineapple but I am most excited about the pears!
I would share this basket withmy mom who has jumped back on the WW wagon. She’s lost 9lbs already and we’re so proud of her healthy eating. This basket would help her out tremendously.
Thanks!
I would love to try the avocado! They’re my favorite fruit, and I’m sure that Harry & David’s won’t disappoint!
I would love to try a truly fresh mango!
I would love to send this to my mom in illinois. She graduates with her doctoates in womens health here in May and she has really showed me the type of strong woman I want to be. Between my dad, brother and myself she has still been able to keep straight A’s work full time and always be there for us. I think she would really feel special to get this!!
😀
I would be excited to try the pineapple!
I would like to eat it all myself, but I would probably send it to my mom who just got over a really tough bout with the flu. All those good vitamins & fruity goodness to build her health back up again.
Papaya! I’ve never had fresh papaya!
The pineapple – my favorite!
I would love to surprise my mom with this basket, she loves Harry and David!
We just got a juicer, so I can’t wait to juice ’em!
Papaya! Never had it before
Avacado for all! I love Harry and David! They have fabulous chocolates and sweets too! On a side note, I’m so gald I found your blog. You’re running tips have been fabulous and I’ll be much better prepared for the Indianapolis half marathon in April this year than last year. Best of wishes for your awesome little doggie.

I would give this fruit basket to my parents. They are the best and are always happy to watch my son while I work.
I want to try those pears so badly! I absolutely love fruit! The way you talked about how amazing their produce is, I imagine it will be the best pear I ever had. 🙂
I have never had a famous harry and David pear so I would say the pears!
I would love to try the pineapple, but id love to send it to my mom. It was her birthday yesterday and she had a terrible day. My dog has had health problems lately, and shes been dealing with the deision of putting her down. I really think she could use this gift basket to help cheer her up!
Hey Julie!
This is my first comment ever and I am so excited since I always miss your giveaways. No fear not I’m here lol a while back when I saw you talk about the pears my mouth started watering and I told myself I would enter a giveaway if I could be some pears lol but I would also like to share this with my mother who shares the deep love of fruit that I do. She loves mango and kiwis and I love pears 🙂
I would love to try the pineapple!
Nothing like a fruit basket in the middle of winter in chilly Boston to cheer a girl up! I’d love all the fruit, but especially the pineapple!
Well, mango is my favorite fruit, but I feel like picking your favorite fruit is like picking your favorite child. I love all fruit so much! One time I was the recipient of a Harry & David’s fruit of the month club and all of their fruit really was superb.
I would love to try the papayas!
