I live in Oregon also. I am glad that Harry and David are coming back with success, a few years back someone gave me some Harry and David chocolate which I didn’t know they had at the time and I was shocked at how great it was. Love it and in makes you come back for more. There call centers for the holidays I have heard from friends who have worked there in Eugene said it was one of the best holiday temp jobs they ever had. I also can say they have great gift ideas and wonderful fruit also. ;)

Sounds like I need to make a road trip to the USA. Looks like you had a lot of fun. What great hosts they were!

What a great post! I loved hearing about your family connections to H + D. It was such a pleasure spending time with you and I’ll forward to our next time together – whenever that is! Wish you could have been at our blogger meet-up today in Portland.

Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful info about your trip! And I loved all the photos. I am looking forward to learning more about Harry and David’s.

When I was about 7 living in White Plains, New York, I asked my mom to buy a box of instant no-burn pudding. Instant pudding was something new then and I was very intrigued. My mom graciously bought it and we brought it home and made it. And guess what happened? It burned!

Well…as I mentioned above, we lived in White Plains which just happened to be the home of the corporate headquarters for General Foods. And it was GF that had made the pudding. My mom suggested I write the company, so I did! A few weeks later a man in a drak suit showed up at my front door and I ran upstairs and hid, afraid I was in trouble…LOL! The man was from General Foods and apologized profusely for the burnt pudding and explained that it had been a bad batch. He then presented me with a case of new pudding! Now that’s what I call good customer service…I will remember at always!

Love,

Mary
