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!

Since you spoke so highly of the pineapple, “fruit candy”, sounds good to me!
ive never had papaya before!!
I would love to send this delish-looking basket to my sister who is away at college. We’re both fruit fiends, so I know this would be the perfect care package 🙂
Those baby bananas are too adorable – I want to put them in some smoothies!
I’d really love to try the pears you speak so highly of!!
I have never had the H&D pears, so I’d love to try them since everyone raves about them. The papaya, mangoes, and pineapple sound pretty darn good, too. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love all of it. Pears for me & everything else to expose my little kids to a wider variety of fruits in the middle of winter.
Ps – way to go on your certification!
I would love to try the pears, everyone raves about them!
My boyfriend James lives in Colorado and is always amazed as the fruit we have in Florida. On our past vacation to Hawaii he ordered fresh fruit everywhere we went because he is so obsessed with the flavors he rarely gets to enjoy! I think it would be an awesome surprise to send him the basket full of delicious fruits (especially his favorite, the pineapple ) all the way to Colorado to brighten up his chilly winter before he leaves for Ranger school.
The pears.
I would love to send this basket to my parents! Anddd maybe snag a pear for myself because they look & sound delicious! Haha!
I have been literally dying for pineapple lately. I almost bought it in a can at our local (mini grocery) co-op the other day, but decided I would wait until I visit our larger grocery store!
I would share this basket with my husband!
I’d be so excited to have a great mango!
This would be amazing! I just moved to Michigan and the pineapple reminds me of home!
The whole basket looks delicious!! I would be most excited for the Pears, I have been loving pears lately.
I would definitely love to try the pears. They are my favorite fruit but it is seems to be hard for me to find good quality ones throughout the entire year!
I am most excited to try the papaya because I have never had a whole one before!
Aww I’d love to win this basket! My boyfriend has vowed to clean up his diet and this would be a great way to show support and expose him to some fruits he’s never had before 🙂 pick me pick me!!!
Id love to try the pineapple!
I would send the basket to my sister-in-law, who just gave birth to the sweetest little girl, Ezra Irene! The daddy and little brother would love the fresh fruit, too 🙂
Yum! What an awesome giveaway! I’d love to try the pears, since I’ve been hearing such great things about them! But I’m also an avocado girl, so that would be an exciting one to try as well!
I would absolutely LOVE to try the pineapple! Actually I would love to try all the fruit in this basket 🙂
Yum! I have been jealous of your pears all week! That would be my choice…but I would surprise my husband with it, there is nothing he loves more then a sweet piece of fruit!
I am the MOST excited for the pineapple! My husband and I live for fresh pineapple! Thanks!
I would send it to my parents as a thank you for all their support during a busy few months!
I would love to try the pineapple, it’s my favorite fruit!
I have never been a huge fan of pears, but since you rave about these H&D pears so much, I am really wanting to try them, because they must have some super-special qualities 🙂
I’m a huge pineapple fan, and since we don’t get great ones here in CO, that’d be my first pick!
I never met a fruit I didn’t like, but I’d be most excited to try their pears. Here’s to hoping!
The famous pears of course!!
I’d be most excited for the kiwi, since it’d remind me of our New Zealand honeymoon last year!
It all looks great, though I would love to have the pineapple and mango most!!
I would love to try those kiwi. They look so yummy!
I am for sure most excited about the mango AND papaya! I’m in college & living on campus…dining halls don’t offer much variety outside of bananas, apples and oranges 😉 I will share!
The avocado! My favorite!
This looks AMAZING!!!!! I hope that I win so that I can send the basket to my best friend who is at law school in Vermont. She misses all the fresh fruit and fun varieties of stuff we get in the south! This would brighten up her winter! Plus the H&D pears are to DIE for!!!!!
I would love to try the little bananas!
All of it looks so delicious! I would like to send it to my sister. Together we have been eating healthy and working out, keeping each other motivated. She is doing so well I would love to give her a healthy treat as more motivation. I am so proud of her!!
baby bananas! i’ve never heard of them!
What a yummy giveaway! I have never had anything from Harry & David and I would love to try the pears you always rave about!

I LOVE fruit and would love to eat that sweet pineapple!
Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful giveaway. I am most excited about the Royal Riviera Pears and Papaya.
Pineapple! I love pineapple. You’re right, it’s like candy:-)
The pears always look pretty and delicious in your posts so I would like to try those first then the fruit candy- pineapple!!
I would love to try the papaya. I’ve never bought one to eat and am not quite sure how to tell if they’re ripe. I would love to experiment with a papaya fruit salsa and throw in some of the mango, pineapple, and lime juice!
I am in college so quality fruit does not come by too often!
I LOVE all the fruis in the basket! And I love to share my fruit love with my grandsons who re learning to eat healthier!
Pineapple is my favorite fruit to snack on when I need something sweet and I love to add Papaya to my morning smoothies 🙂 I also am very curious about how delicious these golden pears are!
Beautiful basket! Love the Harry and David pears always but would love to try some papaya. Oh, and I would share this with my awesome husband for Valentines day!!
I’m excited about the pineapple! Its so hard to get sweet ones sometimes. I’d share the basket with my running buddy!
I would love to send this basket to my fiance as we got engaged recently and are both committed to losing weight and living healthier for our big day! He often doesn’t buy as much fruit as he wants because of the price so this would be perfect for him!!!
