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!

Oh definitely the papaya and the mangos! That is something that I usually don’t buy too often but I love them!
The papaya! I’ve never tried it before. Great giveaway!
I would love to try their papaya. I’ve only had it a couple times when we were visiting family in Hawaiian, and it was really good! Also I would love to try their famous pears!
What a beautiful basket! I would LOVE to try a papya. I have never had one and am too chicken to buy one at the store.
Those pears!! My goodness…I’ve heard about them for so long yet never had one of my very own 😉
The mango! It’s -13 here in MN today and so any fresh fruit to remind me it will be warm again would be much appreciated.
The baby bananas! I remember eating those in Hawaii and they were so much sweeter and more flavorful than regular bananas!
I would love to give this basket to my Grandma. It’s so cold and dreary where she lives, and I think this basket would really brighten her day!
I would love to send this basket to my mom and dad. They live in a cold dreary place and I believe some beautiful fresh yummy fruit would cheer them up this time of year! As for myself I would love to try the baby bananas and the Harry and David pears because I have never had either!
Mangos and pineapple for me please 🙂 Gotta get the kids to eat more fruit!
I’ve heard these were amazing – I’d be most excited to try the pears, of course!
The pears, of course!
The pears! I’ve heard amazing things about Harry & David pears; would love to try them!
Fruit is a vital part of my breakfast each morning…it’s like a dessert to start the day!! Papaya is something that I’ve only had once or twice, so I’d be excited to try it again. I know my old running buddy, Heather, would love the fruit just as much, so I’d send her the basket to let her know that I miss her!! Also…fruit is just NOMALICIOUS!
I am most definitely excited about the avocados and pineapple! I am excited about the avocados because I am in college and they are kind of expensive here, so I am not always able to get them, but I love them! And I am excited about the pineapple because I love pineapple I just don’t buy that often either! I am seriously such a fruit lover! Ha! 🙂
Definitely the pineapple! We have been juicing lately and pineapple makes everything better. Yum! What a beautiful basket too.
Nothing beats avocado!
I love all fruit, but I’ve never had a baby banana, so that sounds great. Hope Sadie is doing better!
Pineapple!!! It’s my favorite and I would love to share this with my mom as she loves all gift things like that!
The pineapple is making my mouth water! I would love to share this basket with my sister. I think she would be most excited about the bananas. 🙂 Looks amazing!!!
I love all fruit but I would love to try those pears! Pears have been my favorite since I was little. I used to ONLY drink pear juice when I was a child (weird, I know. My poor mo had a really hard time finding it…)!
Pears! I’ve been on a pear kick so I’d love to try out these beauties!
Yum! I love pineapple! But I love kiwi even more! Such a great healthy giveaway!
The pineapple looks awesome!! It all looks so good!
The mango! Those things are sooooooo darn delicious, but I hardly ever think to buy them. Great giveaway Julie! 🙂
The pears! I love pears and have always heard great things about Harry & David pears. I would live to try them!!
I’m most excited to have some ripe mangos and try some papaya!
I would love some pears! Thank you’
yummy! Everytime you have a sliced pear on your plate in your pictures I wish I was there to snag a piece… They look so good! Love me some FRUIT!
I’m a pineapple nut. Seriously. At least one a week. 🙂
Ohhhh the pineapple and pears!!!!
Its a toss up between the mango and the pineapple! Although it all sounds delicious!
The Harry & David fruit basket looks divine. I’m so selfish…I want it all!
I would love to try the papayas. Living in northern Minnesota all my life has hindered some of the produce selections at the local grocery store. Sadly, papayas have never been in stock. This would be the perfect opportunity to explore new fruits!
Mangoes! i love mangoes, but haven’t had one in forever since they aren’t in season now.
Kiwi is my favorite fruit, so that has my vote! Especially since I just learned a new, easy way to peel them!
I love pears. A lot.
I looooove Harry & David’s pears (obviously) but I’m also a huge mango lover!! I would love to try it out!
THE PEARS!!!!!!!! OH.My.GOODNESS. They are soooo good. Great giveaway! Have a super weekend
The papaya would be awesome to try and I am pretty much obsessed with pineapple, so I would be one happy camper if I got this 🙂
I’d love to send the basket to my boyfriends fire department. They are always working so hard to protect our community and work some really tough hours. Everyone on his shift are working very hard to get in shape and eat healthier this year and I think this gift basket would be great for them.
Wow, what a beautiful gift! I am most excited to try the pineapples. And the avocado. And the kiwis. And the pears. And….
Pineapple! The weather here has been freezing lately and I’m dreaming of tropical vacations…
PEARS!
I’d definitely be most excited to try the pears! I LOVE fruit so much but everyone I know that’s had Harry & David fruit says the pears are to die for!
I love every single thing in that basket. But I LOVE avocados. We use it just like sour cream. You can put it on anything!
I would love to give it to my 15 month old nephew because he adores bananas! He can eat a banana in about 1 minute flat and I’m thinking the baby size will be perfect for him:)
This is such a great giveaway!! I think the papaya sounds the most appealing- it’s so hard to find in the MA suburbs where I live, and it would give a little tropical flair to these cold days 🙂
I would definitely go for the pineapple, always sweet and sunny at this cold time of year! 🙂
Papaya and mango! I never buy them for myself!
