Harry and David Favorite Royal Riviera Pears — Have you ever tried these delectable delicacies? They are your editor's very favorite gift to give. In fact, over the years I've gifted so many friends with pears, they've finally taken the hint — THEY surprise ME with PEARS!

Holidays have come and gone — but birthdays, anniversaries, business gifts — you fill in the rest of the list! — are coming up.

The point? When you order H & D's pears or another of their gourmet gifts, TREAT YOURSELF to an order.

P.S. You'll enjoy doing business with Harry & David; their customer service is all that service should be.
Here's an example:
Over the holidays, I ordered pears for my brother's family in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They arrived FROZEN!
H & D not only resent the pears at no charge to me, they included chocolates! My brother was amazed and elated.

Here's a great introductory offer:
