I would be happy to receive this from Harry and David. But I get pretty good pears at the grocery store.

It’s not tacky at all. It’s a nice gesture.

These days I send food gifts from Popcorn for the People. The packaging is fun, the popcorn is delicious and I feel good about where my money is going. Just another option to consider.

BUT not this year 2024.I thought the 7/7 tiny apple pie ( without the pears) was a prank! It was pathetic, dried apples sunken to the bottom of the crust !! Even now I am still insulted and annoyed😏.
It's a little ridiculous to be insulted. Surely your cousin just bought it off the website and thought the apple pie would be as good quality as the pears and had no way of knowing they'd be crap.

I'd like to send a gift basket to someone who did me a very big favor, but somehow I get the impression from this site that Harry & David is like the Olive Garden of food delivery. What are people's opinions?
Well trying to live up to the standards of this site is your problem. There are posters here who would consider Faberge to be on par with Kay’s.

I received some of their mini loaf cakes. They may be full of unhealthy oils and sugar, but they were moist and tasty. I was pleasantly surprised. I stuck them in our freezer and would pull one out when the kids wanted something sweet. They weren’t a bad gift.

I'd stick to ONLY the fruit. The snack stuff is low quality garbage you find at tourist traps or Cracker Barrel store.

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