APPLES & PEARS gift for sale. I cannot eat fruit & need to sell this gift to a fruit eater. $10 – a bargain. You will receive this marvelous box of fruit and do me a big favor at the same time. #NoHarry&David
5 ARTIFICIAL Christmas trees – graduated sizes that go together – stunning! Can you imagine how surprised your family and friends will be to see five decorated trees in your living room? #WowFactor

FOUND: MILLION DOLLARS in a paper bag on my doorstep. Just kidding – massive garage sale. Great items in excellent condition. Books, paintings, kitchen stuff, vintage furniture, rugs – sacrifice prices. #It’sAllGood

No, young lady, I can’t imagine how surprised anyone would be to see five trees in one home! I’m not a fan of the fake ones anyway.
Harry and David is the worst. I once sent someone one of their famous “tower” gifts. From all accounts the boxes were pleasing enough but there was nothing much inside. I’ve heard that company that puts the fruit on sticks does a much better job. Can’t think of the name, getting old.
Many thanks for beginning the am with a smile.
Hello there Geedee,
Yes, you’re correct — Edible Arrangements does an excellent job with a beautiful assortment of fruit. Although, Harry & David is usually good too. I don’t care for the company you see in the malls this time of year with the tiny bits of cheese or sausage. By the time you get the wrapper off there’s nothing much left to eat.
I actually know someone who decorates five trees and enjoys them. Thanks.
