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!

Papaya! It’s so hard to find by me.
I’m dying to try the pears!
I would definitely love to try the pears! But, I would also love to send such a great present to my parents! They have recently helped me relocate to a new city/new job hundreds of miles away and have been so supportive 🙂
Baby banana 😉
I love bananas, but have never tried baby bananas!
My little guy just got over being sick and has been stuck at home for several days. He is a fruit connoisseur, lol. Actually that is about all he eats. I would love for him to get a big basket of fresh fruit just for him. What a neat surprise that would be!
I would love the pineapple and avocado! I might make a tropical salsa/guac combo – I bet that would be delicious!
I am from Oregon and have never had their pears so I would love to try a Harry and David pear!!!
I would love to try the baby bananas and share the rest of the fruit with my husband.
I want to devour those pears!!!
Everything looks so delicious! I am teaching my 11 year. Old daughter the benefits of eating healthy, this would be a great learning tool!
I don’t think I’ve ever had papaya before so I’d be most excited to try that 🙂
You spoke so highly of the pears that I feel like I must try those, but pineapple is my all time fav!
Hi!
Well, I have a co-worker who is turning 70!!!!
I know that she loves fruit immensely so I would love to give it to her. Smile!
Looks delicious! I would love to try the pears- or even make them into an apple pear tart. Yum!
I would die to try the pears! So hard to get good pears in the reg grocery store!
I am a HUGE pear fan and would love to try the famous Harry and David’s!
I would LOVE to win this basket! The pears are my favorite and I think we’d just keep it and eat it ourselves! 😉
That fruit basket looks amazing!!! I would send it to my cousin so she can use it to make lots of healthy snacks for her baby girl! 🙂
That pineapple looks incredible!
I’ve never tried a papaya so I’d love to in this basket!
These baskets look amazing. If I won I would give the basket to my sister, Lisa, who is a dedicated PBF reader. BUT I would definitely have to snatch a pear and a bite of pineapple! : )
It’s a toss-up between the papaya and mango. I love “exotic” fruits!!
I would love to try the pineapple.
I’d go for the mango. Haven’t had any since I received some Florida grown in the mail.
The pears!!!!! I’ve never had a Harry & David pear, I need to see what they are all about! 🙂
mmmm I love ALL fruit! But I’m gonna go with the mango and pineapple!
I am dying to try the papaya. The only time I’ve had it was when I was in Mexico and it was AMAZAING, but I’ve been scared to get some since because I didn’t think it would be as fresh.I also saw this papaya salad recipe on the Dr. Oz show and I really want to try making it!
Yum! I would love to try a fruit salad with the avocado and papaya together.
cliche, but I want a pear!
The Papaya would be awesome…I absolutely love them!
I can’t wait to try the pears! I’ve never had a Harry & David pear, but I’ve heard great things about them!
I’d love to try the pears. It’s what they are known for right?!
I’d love to say I’d keep it and eat that pineapple (holy yummy) but I’d probably send it to my (biological) father (whom I’m estranged from) my sister let me know that he is nearing end of life and I’d like to send him something that says I wish him well
Pineapple because I love the taste of fresh pineapple but I hardly ever buy it!
I’ve never had a papaya before and I would love to try one! Thanks for hosting this giveaway, Julie!
I’m most excited to try the pears!
Avocado and mangos!
After looking at the fruit basket, I’d love to make some homemade guacamole with the avocado and lime for my son, Evan, and then teach my older son, Drew, about making yummy smoothies with the other fruits. What a fun giveaway! Hope I win…
I would LOVE to try the pears!!!!
Pears pears pears pears pears!!! Those would definitely brighten up the frigid weather feeling here!
I would love to try the pears. Actually, all of it!!!
I would love to try the pears! Love this healthy giveaway!
I love fruit and Harry & David has THE BEST pears out there (and the best Moose Munch, but I know that’s not healthy..hehe!). It would be awesome to win this gift basket 🙂
I’m most excited about the kiwi and pineapple 🙂
I’m going to Costa Rica this summer and have never tried about half of the fruit they serve there – such a shame! I’m currently a student at UF and know the exact spot you were in last night, it’s one of my favorite areas of downtown and I’m so glad you like it too. I’d love to win the gift basket – think of it as a way to culturally prepare me for my adventures abroad! 🙂
Pineapple, yum! 🙂
I’d send it to my boyfriend. He’s studying in Wisconsin and often doesn’t have access to fresh fruits. Maybe it’ll arrive right around Valentine’s Day with the card I’ll send him from Kentucky! =)
The avocado… No, the mango, no the pears! All of it!! I love fruit and eat paleo so this is awesome! I’d like to share with my grandma 🙂
I would love to try the pineapple! You have spoke so highly of all their fruit that I’m dying to try it all!
