This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to winner, Jackie Davis! Thanks to all who entered.
There are few greater feelings in the world than knowing you’ve helped to make someones day special. When I asked the question “Do you prefer to give or receive?” on the Dine & Dish Facebook Page, so many of you agreed that giving is the way to go! Your answers helped to inspire this special Harry & David giveaway today.
Harry & David… you know, the company who pretty much rules the gift giving roost… has offered to give one lucky Dine & Dish reader the opportunity to help make the day of someone else special. Yes! You get to let me know in the comments section who you would like to see receive a gorgeous Pear Medley Gift Basket. Giving is great and now is your chance to nominate someone you think is pretty special to receive something special.
I had a hard time picking out which basket to offer, simply because Harry & David has so many great gift baskets to choose from. However, after visiting their orchard and tasting their amazing pears this past summer, I knew that sharing their incredible fruit would be a unique gift, worthy of someone special.
To enter to win the giveaway to share a special Pear Medley Harry & David gift basket, just follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter widget below.
Disclosure: A special thanks to my friends at Harry & David for providing the giveaway item for this post. All opinions expressed are my own.
I would love to send this to my mom. She has had a hard year health wise and I am sure this would brighten her day!
I would love to send the gift basket to my parents because they always sent me a harry & david care package in college during finals week and it made me so happy. I know that receiving a gift basket would make them smile 🙂
I would actually send it to my sweet co-workers. She just GAVE me her KitchenAid Mixer because she knew I would get more use out of it! She won’t except money so I’m repaying her by baking and iPad classes. But a gift basket would be a great treat! 🙂
My friend is due to have a baby over the next two weeks. This would make a great welcome home gift for her.
Gorgeous gift basket – thinking I would send it to my mom, she loves pears and it would make her day.
I would love to send this to Husband, Lyle who will finish his last cancer treatment next week (10/31) for Bladder Cancer. His positive attitude and great faith has helped him and our family move through these last 6 months with grace. I am so proud of him and how he has handled this devastating disease. He is an inspiration!
I’d send this gift to my lovely little nieces in Illinois. I know they’d love it.

I would sent the Harry and David gift basket to my In-Law’s. They are the most wonderful In-Laws in the whole wide world and always help us out. IT’s a little way to show my appreciation and say thank you. 🙂
This would definitely go to my mom. She’s having such an incredibly hard time right now financially and with her health. She’s such a caring and giving person, always doing for others before doing for herself even when she can’t afford to and I know a gift basket like this would absolutely make her week! We live in CA and she lives in GA and haven’t been able to see each other in well over a year so brightening her day with this would be a gift to me as well.
I think I’d send the basket to my Mama–she LOVES Harry and David!

A few of my friends and I get together and chip in for gift cards every few months or a bouquet to let her know we think about her and her family. I never have thought of Harry & David and it seems so obvious! Great giveaway!

I would love to send this to my parents. My mom loves Harry and David pears and truffles but thinks it is such an extravagance. One year for Christmas, my dad received a tower from a colleague and my mom enjoyed it so much that my dad had one sent to himself (but said it was from the colleague since my mom would think it was an extravagance) the next year so my mom would have it to enjoy again. Little did he know that the colleague unexpectedly sent them a gift again so my mom ended up getting two baskets and my dad had his fess up to what he did! I don’t think my mom minded the extra gifts though!
