Royal Riviera Pears, Approx. 5

For someone you send to from afar

Why it works as a gift

Fruit by mail can feel like an afterthought, but these pears are the product Harry & David itself calls the one "that started it all", which gives a modest box a story. The brand describes them as sweet, buttery and very juicy, handpicked and packed to arrive in good condition, and the box holds about five pears at a net weight of 2 lb 12 oz.

Its strength as a gift is that it is shared and used up. A family, a neighbor who helped out or a colleague's household can eat it within the week, so there is no question of taste, size or where to keep it. That makes it a safer choice than a decorative object for someone whose home you don't know well. It is certified kosher by STAR-K, which helps when you are sending to a household that keeps kosher.

Against the obvious alternatives at this price, a box of chocolates or a candle, the pears feel more seasonal and less expected. They feel at home on a winter holiday table, and they pair naturally with a card that explains why you thought of the recipient.

Who it’s for

  • A host whose dinner you can't make, sent ahead with a note
  • Parents or grandparents who live far away and prefer food to more things
  • A client or colleague's household, as a thank-you that stays modest
  • A household that keeps kosher, given the STAR-K certification

Skip it if

  • The recipient doesn't eat fresh fruit or will be away when it arrives; fruit is perishable
  • Delivery would go to a western state or Hawaii or Alaska; Harry & David can't ship its pears-and-Manchego set to nine of them, so confirm this box ships to the address at checkout
  • You want something they will keep; this is meant to be eaten

Giving it

  • Check the delivery date at checkout and send it for a day someone will be home
  • Add a short card: the gift is simple, so the note carries the thought
  • For a host who likes a cheese board, the pears and Manchego set is the next step up
