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 live in a small town and think the local farmer’s market has the freshest tasting fruit but I’m always willing to try any fruit or anything healthy for that matter. I’m a fruit fanatic! I would have to pace myself through this basket to be sure I enjoy the amazing quality! 🙂
I’d love to surprise my best friend with this gift basket. She is a new mom (my god-daughter) and just moved into her new house. I know she’d love the cute basket for her new place and of course the healthy fruit to munch on when she gets a chance between taking care of her 3 month old.
Although I’ve been wanting to try their famous pears, the pineapple looks absolutely amazing too!
I am certain I am most excited to get the basket for the pineapple or the kiwi, I just can’t decide! Pineapple is one of my all time favorite fruits. However, I also LOVE kiwi so much and its hard to find good kiwi around here! They are usually too squishy or aren’t very flavorful. I live in Maine so it’s not something that you can get locally. I ALSO would love for my dad to try the pears, he LOVES pears! I know I gave more than one reason, but I couldn’t help myself. Thanks for the opportunity, good luck to everyone else, too!!
I would love to try the pineapple!
Avocado…or the pear…or kiwi! I can’t decide!
I love mini bananas! I find them to be much sweeter and tastier than their larger counterparts! Bigger isn’t always better!
I love their pears! Yummm!
I’d be excited to try the papaya! I’ve never had it before 🙂
mango or pears….both sound yummy
I would eat the pear!! I have actually never tried a pear before, so I am very intrigued by them. I basically refused to eat all fruit and vegetables as a kid, so I am constantly trying new things now (that most people probably had when they were 5!).
Baby bananas…never tried before…so cute!
The pineapple looks fabulous…….now I am craving pineapple……I have never bought a whole pineapple before….yummy!
That basket looks amazing! I am most excited to try the kiwi!
At first I thought I would say the pears, but after seeing your photos I can’t decide between them and the pineapple! It all looks great!
I would love to try the papaya!
I would love to try the pears. I’m not really a pear person, but you’ve enticed me enough with all of your posts on the H&D pears. Plus, my boyfriend loves pears and would be thrilled to try them as well. 🙂
Ps, congrats on passing the test!
I love all fruit! I’m just excited to try something new!
Believe it or not, I’ve never tried papaya! That’s what I’m most excited about!!!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Kiwi! My mouth is watering just looking at them!!!
Avocado and Mango. They would immediately be put into an awesome salsa for some fish tacos. Yummy!
Although I LOVE their pears, I’m looking forward to trying their mango and avocado because they are two of my favorite fruits! I love this giveaway!!!!
I’ve never tried papaya before!!!!!
I’ve heard great things about Harry David pears- so I’m gonna be lame and say the pears! But I love tropical fruit in general so ALL sound fabulous!!!
I’ve never had papaya but I’d love to give it a try! That pineapple looks amazing though, I might have to run out tomorrow and get one!
the royal riviera pears look so delicious!
The pineapple looks awesome.
I’m on a 21 day sugar detox so ALL fruit sounds delish right now! But the mango is looking mighty fine 🙂
So excited about the pears… my mouth is watering already… Harry David Pears are the absolute best
The pears! They sound so exotic!
Most excited for the pineapple….. have been craving it so much lately
Papaya – I’ve never actually had one!
I’d be most excited for the mango, a fruit I love but don’t have all that often.
Pineapple! I love everything pineapple, but usually just buy pre-cut grocery store stuff. Would love to get some good quality fruit!
I absolutely love Mangoes so I would definitely looking forward to trying those!
Love, Love, Love Harry and David Pears! We get a basket of fruit from them every year as a gift and it NEVER disappoints!!
Aahhh Harry & David!!! Love!!! I had my first experience with them in Oregon as well! My best friends parents live in Eugene and we flew out there one summer and her mom had pears stocked in her kitchen….so yum. I would send the basket to my mom in florida because she NEEDS to try this fruit!
Definitely kiwi- love kiwi!
So excited about the kiwis! It’s my absolute favorite fruit!
Ahhhhh so much fruit, how do you choose?!?! I think I would have to go with the pineapple though because I love those….buuuut I’ve always heard how great the pears are so I would love to try them too!
The pears sound awfully fantastic and they seem to be the ones you comment about the most so they’d be up there, however a good mango is a super special treat. Really though, any fruit that tastes amazing in the middle of winter is alright by me!
I would love to send the basket to my boyfriend, he’s a health fanatic and loves all kinds of fruit! He would love this!!!
I love the pears! Can’t wait to try them again!
The Royal Riviera pears….yummy!
I would love to send the basket to my dad, who has lost 20 pounds and goes to the gym five days a week. He is so inspirational! He loves bananas already, but he is attempting to try to include more fruit in his diet. He is scared of the natural sugars, but I’m working on convincing him otherwise!
Thank you Julie! Love your blog! 🙂
I’d be most excited to try their pears! I typically do not like pears but I’m willing to bet this will change my mind. 🙂
I would love to send this basket to my Nursing instructor that is helping me with my clinicals…I would be lost without her 🙂
Those pineapples sound awesome!
I would love to try the baby bananas (are they just small)? and of course the famous pears which I can’t believe I have never tried from Harry & David before! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
I would be thrilled to try the pears and the pineapple. I’ve sent baskets from Harry & David to other people but have never tried their stuff myself!
OMG! This basket looks amazing! I would want to keep the fruit but I would definitely share with my mom and sister! We’d probably have a fruit dividing party. 🙂
