I think it's still considered nice, and in a way that will never go out of style. Kind of like Williams-Sonoma- not the trendiest, but classic and warm in a way that is very elevated.

We ignore all their newer stuff because quality has dropped so much.

We will use them - for fruit only - mostly their pears - during the winter holidays for gifts.

I’ve never liked harry & david, and it’s gotten so expensive to just get unripe rock hard fruit in trash boxes

Fwiw I don’t think it’s nice. They sell it on Costco.com

I always roll my eyes at people who dredge up old threads to comment for no reason.

Don't let them roll out of your head.

I've heard that they will send a new batch if you report a back shipment.

+1 to both.

It's so weird to me that Zingerman's now has a national following and is considered fancy. I grew up in Michigan. It was always a great deli, but it was a deli. Not a high-brow gourmet gift.

FTR, DH is from the PNW, and MIL always sends H&D. I don't know if I consider it fancy, but I appreciate some of the PNW products. They're probably tacky by DCUM standards, but I kind of like Wine Country Gift Baskets: https://www.winecountrygiftbaskets.com/

Though, TBH, nowadays my family tends to send each other rare whisky etc. I don't like whisky, so I don't really care. The pears my MIL sends are a nice change.

H&S is nice. I've moved on to sending people Honeybaked hams. As long as they are not vegetarian, they LOVE it.
