Harry and David

Tuesday, as Tommy went out the front door, I realized he was trying to pick up a package. He finally got it up and on his walker seat. All this time, I was wondering what I ordered. Puzzled, I was wracking my brain as to what I ordered. When he finally had the package on his walker and opened the door, he said, "And, it has MY name on it." 

"Harry and David! That is expensive!" I knew the name, but he did not. When he opened it, he found: 

All this is Harry and David branded.

H&D Dark Chocolate Truffles I hope the package falls open soon.

H&D Three Seed Crackers

H&D Milano Italiano Dry Salami

H&D Sharp White Cheddar

H&D Pepper and Onion Relish Classic Recipe

H&D Premium Mixed Nuts Almonds, Cashews, Walnuts and Pecans

10 Pears and 2 Apples

Inside the Harry and David cardboard Box was a wooden box. Nice!

What a nice surprise for him. He never gets anything. Really, I am not getting anything either, just boxes of supplies, mostly. But, I was very happy for him. 

He has never heard of Harry & David. Where has he been?

Have you found a surprise package on your doorstep (PO, Mailbox, top of the car)?

Have you found a real surprise or has anyone in your family?

Wednesday, we went to Cullman and gave the cardinal to our friend. It had wet paint. We told them to be careful. Since I was so late in painting it, it got a coat this morning. Since I think I bought the last spray can of the appropriate can of red paint, I let them use it to add more coats so it can last better outdoors. I went to so many stores and on the internet and red paint was as scarce as TP last year. 

I really want to paint one for me, too, and cannot find red paint. Otherwise, I would just have given them the paint. It is not even on Amazon! 

Okay, there is more to tell, but I need a nap before it gets too late to nap. It is 6:30 now. I slept last night from 6 am to 8 pm 

Merry Christmas if I don't see you before Christmas.

  1. Did Tommy know who sent it? I did H&D the year both my kids first were in California, but daughter said while delicious, too little for the price. I do Swiss Colony for my son for Thanksgiving.

    1. SAM,
      Yes, he knew who sent it once he got it inside. That is good information to know about Swiss Colony.

    2. There used to be a Harry and David’s at the Albertville outlet mall. My girlfriend and I sure miss it. We loved buying their after holiday sales which sometimes were amazing and tasted just as good.,ha! And they had free samples every day including flavored coffees

    4. JRE,
      Albertville, AL? That outlet mall was a great place to shop. Free samples and coffee are great.

  3. I love the Pepper and onion relish. But played around canning it because it was pricey. Merry Christmas!

      The pears in his gift were half-rotten. But, he gets a knife and salvages what he can. He said what he ate was delicious.

  6. Harry & David is good stuff :) I have received before and also sent as gifts. I learned of them many years ago as my aunt and uncle would always send my grandparents that for Christmas every year.

  7. What a lovely surprise! I've received Harry & David gift baskets and they are delicious! I'd hope the truffles fell open too hehe
    This year we received a surprise package of nuts that were shipped from Sams Club, but we have no idea who sent them, there was no gift note or packing slip even. Didn't stop us from eating them though LOL
    Wishing you & Tommy a very Merry Christmas!!!
