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’m most excited to try the pears I’ve heard so much about! And I’m excited to share the fruit basket with my parents because I know they’ll enjoy it just as much as I will. 🙂
Mangos! But their pears are SO good! 🙂
The baby bananas are so cute. And I love pears and avocados. Basically everything in the basket!
I would love to get some of that avocado!! I’m a huge avocado fan, and the lack of the fruit during this cold winter is making me miss it…
The pineapple and kiwi, two of my favorites!
Definitely the pineapple! I would send this basket to my sister. She’s a super busy mother of two and loves fresh fruit so much! I think it would be a great treat for her!
I’m most excited about trying the pears. I have had several failed attempts at my local grocer trying to purchase ripe ones. It all looks delicious though!
I love their pears! I woud like to try the papaya, a little tropical fruit woud be nice to combat the cold and snow!
I would give the basket to my mother-in-law! She got stitches about a month ago in her knee (yes, she is 50 years old and got stitches while sledding with her grown boys and daughters-in-law) and she is finally back to exercising and trying to get back on track eating healthy! 🙂
It all looks so delicious, but I want to try a Harry & David pear. Yum!
H&D’s pears are to-die-for!
I am excited to try the pears! I’ve never really liked them before (texture thing), but I tried one again this year and fell in love! Nothing beats a good pear!
That pineapple is seriously calling my name. And hubs will go crazy for those apples!
Such a cute basket! I’ve never had fresh papaya! That’s what I’d be excited to try!
Baby bananas sound precious! But I’d be most excited about trying one of their famous pears – never had one!
I would die for a nice ripe mango! They are so hard to find this time of year.
Definitely the royal riviera pear!!
My little boy LOVES bananas, or “gonananas” as he calls them! 🙂 I think we’d be most excited to try the baby bananas and the papaya.
I would be so excited to try the pineapple!
I love mangoes, so I would be especially excited for that!
I would love to try the papaya! I tried it for the first time this past year and loved the magic it worked on my digestive system. Unfortunately, here in Indiana, the papaya to be found is sub-par…
I would love to try the pineapple!!
This looks amazing! HD’s pears are so yummy, I’d love to try all of their other fruit too! Fruit baskets are the best presents as well – I’d send one to my Mom since I selfishly moved 4000 miles away from her and this would be a wonderful surprise gift to show her how much I miss her!
I would go straight for the pineapple. Fresh pineapple is SO yum!
Ohh I want to try the delicious fruit!!
I can honestly say there isn’t a fruit I don’t love to enjoy. Everything in the basket looks so ripe and delicious I can see why it’s already almost gone! I’d have to say that golden pear is what I would be looking forward to the most. Along with the kiwi and mangos 🙂
Thanks for having this awesome giveaway! Ps. I love what you did to upcycle the basket!
Definitely the pears! I’ve yet to try a Harry & David pear and I would love to see how it lives up to its reputation!
It all looks SO good, but I need to try one of their famous pears!
It all looks amazing! I’m curious about the Papaya! I’ve never tried it! However, I would love to try the Harry & David pears! I’ve heard nothing but good reviews on them.
yum! i have never tried papaya (gasp) so i guess i’m most excited about that- though pineapple is my favorite so i know that’ll be great too! thanks julie!
Pears!
Such a fun giveaway! I’ve heard a lot of good things about the pears so naturally I’d love to try one out.
Pears – can’t beat ’em!!
I’d love to try the pineapple and mangos!!
I have to pick just one thing I would be excited to try??!! I would say the pears. I have heard great things about them but have never tried them.
I’d love to try any of the fruit in that basket- it all looks delicious! I think I would probably send it to my mom as a congratulations on her new job!
That pineapple looks amazing I’d love to try it!
Love fresh pinapple, but it would be great to try the pears as well!
Although their pears are amazing, I would live to try the pineapple! It looks so delicious 🙂
Pineapple! Yum!
That pineapple looks delish! And I love the idea for using the basket for your towels. It looks great!
It all sounds so good! I am a fruit fanatic and am especially excited to try the pineapple and pears. I have heard great reviews about their pears and would love to try one! Pineapple is a favorite of mine as well and sounds so delicious right now!
I would love to try the pears!! I could easily inhale all of that myself, because it all looks so good- but I would make sure to share with my parents that live nearby!
definitely the pears! I love pears!
I’d be most excited for the papaya and mango since I’ve never tried either of them before. (I know, what rock have I been living under?!) What a great opportunity to try them now as they look so flawless!!
I’d love to try the pineapple!! It’s only good here in the summer though
Yum — I’d like to try the mango! I had some delicious mangoes on my Punta Cana vacation this summer, but never really buy them fresh in the states. Thanks, Julie!
I’d love to send this fruit basket to my sister – a young doctor who just had her first baby 🙂
The avocado ! It’s my favorite food 🙂
I’ve never had papaya, so I’d be most excited to try that one. Thanks!
