Harry and David Mother’s Day Giveaway….

Mother’s Day will soon be upon us. The day that we celebrate the woman that gave birth to us. I of course celebrate that every day. 🙂 But in all seriousness I do try and let my mom know how wonderful she is. It’s pretty hard to find someone that doesn’t like my mom and if they don’t like her it’s probably because they are a rotten person (for reals) and she probably chose not to deal with their bull crap! She’s kind, funny (well she doesn’t do it on purpose but we laugh at her a lot 🙂 ), she’s charitable ALWAYS doing something for her community center or church. She’s one heck of an entertainer always having her friends over, especially those who don’t have family around. She’s a fundraising fool for all her causes, especially Relay for Life.

So when Harry and David asked me if I wanted to do a Mother’s Day Giveaway I thought heck yeah I do. And what a giveaway it is! I love this basket. It’s a $60 (well $59.95) value! Such great stuff:
4 Royal Riviera Pears (because every basket should have at least one of Harry and David’s pears!)
Milk Chocolate Moose Munch Popcorn (6 oz.) (because every giveaway I must give this…when I went to their store (they have a ton of flavors there) I tried my best to buy them out of Moose Munch. I love it sooo much)
2 Chocolate-enrobed Heart-shaped Raspberry Galettes (1.75 oz. each) (because you need something heart shaped to show your mom the love)
Chocolate Strawberries (4 oz.) (these are not dipped but chocolate covered dried strawberries and yeah, they are tasty)
Assorted Truffles (8 oz.) (LOTS of truffles)
2 Chocolate-dipped Coconut Haystacks (0.5 each) (I wish there were more of these…gone in like 10 seconds flat)
Neapolitan Maltballs (6 oz.) (I loved that there was strawberry and vanilla ones)
Net Weight: 3 lbs. 14 oz.

Now you don’t need to give it to your mom. If you are a mom to be, a current mom, a fur-baby mom, a step mom, or if you mom has passed (you can eat the treats and think of her fondly) I won’t blame you for wanting to keep the basket for yourself. Or if your mom lives near you invite her over and you can share the treats and time together!


Harry and David Mother’s Day Gift Box

(My mom and I at the Grand Canyon…the 70’s were a cruel wardrobe time. :P)

 

However you want to use the goodie box is up to you! But if you would like to enter here’s how. First live in the United States. Second leave a comment telling me something about your mom…good or bad. 🙂 If you want extra chances go and like the Harry and David Facebook page and come back here and leave a separate comment saying you did so. Or follow Harry and David on Twitter and come back here and leave a separate comment. Winner is picked randomly using a random number generator.

So you have three chances to win. So good luck. You have between now and next Wednesday, April 24th 2013 at 6 pm PST to get your entry in!

    My mom was right. About everything. But, especially I’m realizing recently, with her advice that Jingle Bells is a great lullaby.

    My mom is a woman who through all hardships, trials, and tribulations has always managed to stay a kind loving woman. She’s my role model and my best friend. How can I NOT love someone so great and wonderful. She gave me birth and I know no matter what I do or where I go, my mom will always be there encouraging me (and the everyone else she adopts as her child!) along. I love you momy.

    My mom is wonderful. She doesn’t sugarcoat this, so I always know I can trust her opinion! She makes the very best rice, beans, enchiladas, flan….etc.! She has been an exceptional role model as a wife, friend, and mother. I love her to pieces!

    my mom is funny and frustrating. you never know what she is going to say and sometimes she switches topics in her head but does not tell you hence the frustraitng

    My mom is my best friend! When she and I get together the rest of my family groans and leaves the room! She is always there for me (and everyone), even driving a couple hours just to hang out or go shopping for a few hours.

    My mom. Hmmm, how do I sum her up into words…? My mom was always EVERYONES mom. Kids from all alround the neighborhood would call her mom. She was always like a big kid growing up. Now that I am all grown up, she is still like a big kid. But I love her with all of my heart and soul. I wouldn’t trade her for the world. Well, for this basket I might trade her. So if you want her…we can make a deal.lol

    Where do I even begin enumerating all the reasons my mother is so special? Suffice it to say she’s one in a million and I am thankful everyday that our paths crossed and of course that she gave birth to me. Sadly, I don’t do FB or Twitter, but I do love Harry & David and so would she!

  32. Sarah says

    April 18, 2013 at 5:12 pm

    I gave birth to my second child two weeks ago. So, for the second time, my mother dropped everything to help me adjust, help me get around, sleep, make sure we were all getting fed, and much more. She is the ultimate inspiration for a mothers love, and for family dedication.

  33. Brandy says

    I was just thinking good thoughts of my mama. My mom is truly my best friend. I love her more than she will ever know. She has done so much for other people and for us. I don’t think she has a clue the impact she has on others. This Saturday, my sweet mom is going to dog sit for me. I know that sounds like nothing, but my dog just had surgery. She requires constant supervision and she is having toilet issues. Mom doesn’t care. She said she will lay on her dog bed with her and just love her. That’s the kind of mom I have. She’ll do anything for anyone. I love her so much.

    First I’d like to announce I have had 3 woman in my life I call mom. First my biological mom whom though she chose to leave me with my father when I was 5, this brings me to my second mom My dad remarried and she did not appear to be a fan of children, so at the age 12, I moved in with my best friends family and her mom became my third mom and raised me into the woman I am today. Though as a child it seemed harsh to be given away constantly, As an adult all 3 moms are in my life and are all grandmothers to my kids. I love them all in different ways, and would say each has impacted my life in positive ways. A Harry and David Gift would be fantastic to share with all of them. =) Thank you kindly for the opportunity.

    My mom is gone, but there are 2 strong things I carry from her every day. First is a love of all things chocolate! 😉 Secondly,( and really most important) is her knack for gathering in “strays”, and to treat all people with kindness, love and respect. She taught me that a person may not be able to fix all that ails the world, but you can control how you treat those you interact with and that can spread farther that you could ever imagine!

I’m so fortunate to still have her with me today thanks to some amazing scientists that helped develop a chemo pill called Gleevec. She’s been in remission since taking this wonderful medication. She will have to take it for the rest of her life, but , we are so thankful for more time with her and cherish the moments we spend with her.

    My mom’s love of cooking and sewing greatly influenced my life. However, her love of cleaning somehow missed me – and even though it bothers her, she tries not to mention it (too much). She’s also been a great supporter to me and the children in my care when I decided to become a foster parent.

    I was raised by my grandmother. She’s 93 now. Remarkable woman. She supported her family of 6 on an elementary teacher’s salary. She makes people smile and if they are lucky, she’ll make them laugh. I love her.

    I’d def share with my mom. My mother taught me to cook and bake and she still makes incredible food even after she fell and lost her sense of smell/taste over 13 years ago. Since then, as a family we go by taste (for us) and texture for my mom. Interesting way to eat, but we know our textures!! FOr her birthday she’ll ask for a dessert that’s “creamy, crunchy, tangy, and fluffy” hahaha (ps. lemon icebox pie did the trick!)

  116. Zazzy says

    April 18, 2013 at 11:24 pm

    I wish I could share those treats with my mom, haystacks used to be her absolute favorite from the Whitman’s box. She has Alzheimer’s now and can’t eat solid food but she might be able to manage one of those delicious truffles.

    My mom was amazing. She raised 6 children, made a home cooked dinner every day, and worked outside the home. She made the best pies I’ve ever tasted. I started cooking and baking as a child due to her influence. I’ve always wanted to be like her, and I don’t know how she did it all.

    I’m the only child, my mom and I are best friends. She sacrificed a lot for me. 14 years ago she dropped everything – her career and her life, basically – to move to the United States with me so I could get a better education even though she didn’t speak much English and knew hard life was ahead of her. I love my mom dearly!

  156. Brooke says

    April 19, 2013 at 12:34 pm

    My Mom was special. She was my best friend for 23 years (I’m 32). We spent at least 4 days together a week and spoke at least 5 times a day on the phone. I will never have another friend like her. She passed away on March 4th, 2013. Sometimes, I miss her so much it chokes me. Mostly I just feel so blessed that I had a Mom like her, no matter for how short of a time. This Mothers day will be a tough one, I will just have to cling to my two young children and try to be the Mother to them that she was to me.

  157. Kristin says

    April 19, 2013 at 1:51 pm

    My mom stepped up when my dad left and did the single-mom thing before it became common place. She worked hard and has really pulled her life back together. I’m super proud of her.

  158. Esme Cape says

    April 19, 2013 at 2:00 pm

    In spite of having practiced for days and days what it would be like, visiting the school, looking over the classroom, on my first day of kindergarten I was terrified and pleaded with my mother not to leave me there. She asked me if it would be all right if she went where I could see her through the window, to the park bench across the street. She said she would remain there all day, every day if necessary, until I told her she could leave.

    For the next three days, she remained on that bench where I could see her, reading a book. Until I told her she didn’t have to be there anymore.

    Mom’s like that. I think of her as the training wheels on my bicycle. Gentle support, until I gain mastery.

    When I was very young (and then not so young!) we would sing. I would sing the melody and Mom would come in with the harmony. It made me “automatically” hear harmony easily…and when I discovered I could actually sing where someone WANTED to hear me, it sure came in handy! I will always remember all the singing….. Pure joy!

    My mom was always the mom that my friends wanted to have growing up. Which at the time I didn’t see. Years later when I went to visit a childhood friend she told me that she wished her mom was like mine growing up. My mom always made sure my brother and I were involved in numerous things to make us well rounded adults.

    She can be a bit crazy at times, but she has one of the purest hearts I have ever seen in a person. Even when she is down she finds a way to see the positive in the situation.

    My mom is the most amazing woman on the face of the planet. No lie. She is selfless, caring, kind, and generous. My brother passed away about a month ago, he was only 38 (!!). She has been having a truly hard time with his passing. It was such a traumatic, tragic loss and we are all struggling with the day-to-day(me, my mom, my dad, and my older brother). It would mean so very much to me if I could give this to her. While it may not heal the hole in her heart, it might cheer her up for just a moment and she deserves all the cheering in the world. Regardless if I win or not, every mom should be honored for their love and sacrifice. Especially in the face of tragedy. <3

    I think my Mom is pretty cool. She was always putting her family before her in a lot of ways – just quietly serving her family and not bemoaning the sacrifices she made. Know that I’m a mom I’m trying to do the same thing. She made it look a lot easier than it really is sometimes!

    My Mom has spent her life giving to her three children. We could never possibly begin to repay her for all she has done for each of us. This would be a wonderful gift for Mom, she is in declining health and is home bound now. You would like her, she was a creative cook and baker and managed to make delicious meals and treats for us despite a very limited grocery budget. This gift would be quite a treat for my Mom.

    For almost 32 years my parents have been the ideal example of a happy marriage. My mom’s positive attitude and unconditional love have encompassed my sister and I through difficult relationships and 4 complicated pregnancies. She even beat the emergency responders to me when I was in a car accident. Mom never hesitates to put her children and grandchildren before herself.
    She has supported my father, a Chiropractor, as his office manager for over 25 years. As with any small business, there are no paid vacations, sick days or raises. Any free time she finds she gives to anyone in need. I don’t know where she stores all the love that pours out of her heart that she so freely gives.
    This year is my mom’s 50th birthday and she deserves the very best!

I understand the difference much more now and cannot thank her enough for setting those important boundaries when I was young so I would respect and listen to her. We can be more like friends now, but I am grateful for her reminders that we are not peers, paving the way for me to ne more accepting of her advice based on experience. I love my mom!

But she might be one of the only people on this earth that knows how to comfort me. She is the only person who can give me the best advice. I owe so much to her and hope that I can be the mom that she is.

    My mom raised ten kids, seven being her own. (After divorce his kids, my dad, came to live with her) She worked endless hours to support us all. She remarried, twelves years later my dad passed away. My mom stepped up to the plate, and handled all the finances for his autopsy, and cremation. She does so many things that surprise you. Deep down I know she handled it for us kids, on top of it all bought each of us a cross necklace in honor/remembrance of our dad. Shes a great woman, with a loving soul. One any should look up too, because I surely do.

    my mom is the hardest worker I know. worked at a factory right out of high school for over 35 years. when that Factory close their doors my mom never stop searching for a new job. she wouldn’t just settle for unemployment. she finally found another factory job after a year. a stable job with health insurance was the blessing she was looking for ( my dad is a severe diabetic). but starting over means she barely makes enough money to pay the bills now. I’d love to win the lotto and give it to my mom so she didn’t have to work so hard any more. Factory work has left her with bad hearing & joints. It just doesn’t seem fair… She is so kind & selfless.

    My mother is very materialistic and narcissistic and we are not close because growing up she was pleasing a future step-dad instead of showing physical love and attention to her two kids. She worked hard and played hard so instead of having her love and attention she bought us out with anything we wanted to please herself and my stepfather. He and I actually get along better now than her and I. When you are raised without hugs and kisses and affection it makes you bitter and hard to change for your kids so you don’t repeat the cycle. I am now a mother of three and I have to remind myself to give them some extra attention they deserve. My kids come first and as a matter of fact if I win the Harry and Davids Chocolates I will keep them, tell my kids thank you and let them help me eat it all. Thanks for this little giveaway because win or lose it gave me a place to vent out some suppressed feelings.

    My mom is a fun, crazy person to be around but she has a lot of health problems. She has had a rough life. She has 2 metal rods in place of her spine among many other unfortunate issues and she actually spent two months (last year) in the hospital of a strep bacterial infection. She was comatose for 2 weeks but slowly came back to her old self (not that she’s old lol!) She missed my daughter’s first birthday because if this incident. Needless to say, though she’s doing better now she still struggles with her other health problems every day. The poor woman hasn’t actually felt “good” in close to 20 years now. If anyone deserves a special gift like this, it’s her. We all appreciate this nice gesture 🙂

    My mom may not have the hardest life like most others, but she does have the hardest job. The 5 of us kids make her stay on her toes 24/7. Whether we need rides to places or new clothes, shoes, things for school, etc… she is always there for us. Lately, shes been struggling with her own personal happiness, and has become more and more stressed as the days go by. I want to be able to give her the best thing ever so my plans for mothers day is to give her the garden she always wanted but has never had time to build. She would adore this gift and hopefully it could make her day by being treated like the queen she really is, but never gets to be.

She worked 3 jobs to provide and has always been there for all of us. She still continues to be there if we ever need anything she will drive across the U.S. to make sure we are taken care of.

    There is so much to say about my mom. She does so much, she is a teacher, a friend, and most of all a really great mother. Being a daughter who has gone through so much growing up she has never left my side or told me to go a certain way. When people ask me who I am the closest with I always say my mother without hesitation. She is my partner in crime especially through all of our crazy adventures and endless bucket list. Mainly though she is my best friend. Coming from a military family you end up being really close to your family especially when you have to go through a lot of struggles. Growing up I learned my mom has my back and I will always have hers. I love you mom you have the strength I admire 100% and only hope to be as strong and as amazing as you one day!

    My mom is about to become a grandmother for the first time thanks to me and my husband this coming June. I’m hoping to do something special for her to thank her for all the help she has given us as we prepare to become parents ourselves!

    My mother and I don’t have a good relationship, but I still respect her as a person. I think she had a hard time finding herself after having my brother when she was only 14. I do wish we lived closer again so we could try to connect again.

    My mom always inspired me to do great things and she showed what a true fighter she is during her battle with breast cancer.

    I love my Mom for forcing me to enter a cooking contest at 8 years old. I didn’t want to, until I realized how much fun it could be to play with my food. I still play with my food. Thanks Mom. 🙂

    My mom was a fun and loving mom to all of us, to other kids that she “raised” (more or less!), and now to her grandkids. She was a great role model for all of us, and now that I am a mom I see just how hard that is. I love my kids, but MAN can they try my patience. I hope they enter a contest some day and are able to honestly say great things about me too. It’s hard work being a mom and we can only HOPE that we get it right and don’t cause any damage as we fumble our way through parenting! =)

    My mom is a pain in the butt sometimes but still she’s the person I call if I need a bit of advice.

    One of the things I look at most fondly about my mom is how much she spills. Every time she eats, she spills the food on her clothes. She’ll even wear an paron to dinner, and the food manages to land on her shirt in the ‘v’ where the apron opens. My dad and I wait all dinner for it to happen. It is so funny, and such a quirky thing about her.

    Simply put, if I could be half the woman & mom that my mom is…I would be doing A-OK. She is the perfect balance of driving me nuts but also being everything I need from a mom when I need it. This year will be her first Mother’s Day without my grandmother so I’ll be loving on her even more because I know her heart is hurting.

    Side note about Harry & David’s…we ordered her a pear gift order for my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day. They let you order well in advance so we’ve had it done for a month.

    Well, I was always told “if you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all.” So instead, I will say that although my mom has never treated me good and we are no longer on speaking terms, my mother-in-law has taken me in as her own and has shown me the kind of motherly love I was never shown. It’s too bad that she lives in Calgary, cause if I did win this basket, I would totally give it to her (unless the basket will last until June, that’s when she comes down to visit ;]). I can never thank her enough for always being there for me when I need a mom.

    My mom is the bravest woman I know. She is currently battling ovarian cancer. She is handing it with strength courage faith and a good sense of humor. She has had so many bumps along the road to overcome but she has done so with flying colors. She has not let this sickness take away her love of crafts or family. Everyone my mom knows is praying as everyone loves her as well. She is the life of the family she holds us all together. She is there when you need her no questions asked. Her personality shines through no matter what and who she encounters. She is such an amazing giving caring woman, and I am proud to call her my mom.

    I love that my mom stays active- she looks a decade younger! I hope I can do the same when it’s my turn. She enjoys skiing for half price right now (for seniors), and when she turns 70 in 4 years she will ski for FREE!!! 🙂
