orchards in Southern Oregon a couple of years ago, I have fallen in love with their Royal Riviera Pears.
Last year, we sent boxes of pears to several people on our Christmas list. (It probably goes without saying that I ordered a box for our little family as well.)
If you're like me, you're always a little nervous to send mail-order food as a gift without seeing it yourself. Never fear! I can attest that these pears are THE BEST you'll ever have...and you'll hear all about how delicious and beautiful they are from your gift recipients.
There's also no worrying about GMO's...Harry & David's pears are non-GMO and after 80 years, they still use all natural grafting methods, instead of genetically modifying the seeds.
Harry & David
is offering a box of their exquisite pears to one of you! (A $29.95 value). Just leave a comment on the blog telling me if you'd keep them for yourself or send them to a loved one.
Entries accepted through 11:59pm CST, December 11th.
*Giveaway is sponsored by Harry & David. All opinions are my own.*
Go check out all of their beautiful pear gift boxes...Royal Riviera Pears-Starting at $19.95

Welcome to Bake at 350! I'm Bridget and I like all things sweet...especially cookie decorating. I hope you'll find some inspiration here. So, grab a chair (and a cookie) and let's get baking! [
I would send them to my mom. She is having a rough year and could really use the pick me up. Although my dad would probably end up eating them all.
ReplyDeleteI would send them to my mother in law! She loves Harry and David!
ReplyDeleteI'd give them to my husband. He loves pears and it the hardest person to shop for. This would probably be more exciting than the work shirts he's getting. :)
ReplyDeleteI would keep them for myself and share them with my family, who will all be here over the Christmas holiday. They look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would gift them to my granddaughter. She loves these pears (and so do I).
ReplyDeleteI'd keep some for myself and share some.
ReplyDeleteI love pears! I think I would keep them at my house because we're entertaining this year, but I can't guarantee that there would be many left when company came...
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I'd keep these (& share with my family of course!). My mom used to get a box every Christmas and I loved them then!

ReplyDeleteBoth! I get to go home for Christmas this year, so they'd come with me and I'd share them with my family. :)
ReplyDeleteAs much as I'd love to keep them for myself, I think my mom would love them even more. She used to order them every year and hasn't in a while. This would be a nice surprise for her.

ReplyDeleteI would send them to my grandaddy!
ReplyDeleteI would keep them and savor them. My grandmother, who lived in Oregon, used to send us Harry & David fruit as a Christmas gift (we live in Texas). She has been gone almost 17 years now, and I really miss her and I miss the treats she sent from Harry & David. As I was reading your post, I got a little teary just remembering. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWe got a Harry & David gift basket at work once, and I remember the pears being the best I'd ever eaten. I'm afraid I'd keep them for myself, but only so I could bake with them for the family. A pear upside-down cake & some homemade pear preserves would be at the top of my list. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI'd keep them: my teenagers and I would make short work of them! It's been years since I've had one of their pears, but they are amazing.

ReplyDeleteI'd be tempted to keep. But my mom once sent me a box of these and it was such a nice surprise. I'd probably send them to her.
ReplyDeleteI'll send them to my Dad!
ReplyDeleteoh I LOVE Harry and David pears. But since it's the holidays I'd share them with ... who am I kidding I'd eat the whole box until I had a tummy ache and then bemoan the fact that I'm a selfish person who couldn't share even one of these delicious golden goodies w/anyone. ... :)
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to receive a box of these two years ago and I can still remember how perfect they were. I would love to give these as a gift to my mom.
