If you’re planning to stock up on Harry & David’s gourmet treats, holiday gift baskets, or those famous pears, then their upcoming Black Friday sale is worth keeping on your radar. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect this year — from likely sale dates to specific deals based on last year’s event.
Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates
Harry & David tends to follow a pretty predictable schedule when it comes to their Black Friday promotions. If they stay on track with what they’ve done before, then the sale should start on Thursday, November 20, 2025. That’s exactly one week before Thanksgiving, which lines up with last year’s launch date.
Things usually start with a broader, site-wide promotion on harryanddavid.com, and then ramp up as Thanksgiving approaches. The main part of the sale — where the biggest discounts kick in — should fall between November 24 and November 30, 2025. That window covers Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the weekend that follows.
The sale is expected to end on Sunday, November 30, 2025, giving shoppers over a full week to grab deals without having to rush.
Promo Code Info
Last year, Harry & David offered 20% off site-wide during the early part of the Black Friday week. The promo code they used was “20HOLI”. While there’s no guarantee they’ll use the exact same one this year, it’s pretty likely they’ll go with something similar — so be on the lookout for a new version of that code in your inbox or right on their site’s homepage once the sale starts.
To get the site-wide discount, you’ll need to enter the promo code at checkout, so it’s good to double-check that the discount has applied before you place your order.
What You’ll Likely on Sale
In the first few days (starting November 20), you can expect that 20% off site-wide offer to apply to nearly everything — from fruit baskets and baked goods to wine gifts and gourmet chocolates.
If you’re able to hold off a few days, things usually get more interesting. Starting around Sunday, November 24, Harry & David typically drops a second wave of Black Friday deals. These focus less on site-wide discounts and more on heavily marked-down items.
Here’s what was on sale last year during this phase:
-
Up to 50% off select holiday gift boxes.
-
Deep discounts on holiday drums, towers, and variety packs.
-
Special “Buy More, Save More” offers on multi-pack gifts.
These deeper markdowns don’t always require a promo code — they’re often applied automatically and are listed under a specific “Black Friday Specials” or “Hot Deals” section on the site.
Popular Items Likely to Go on Sale Again
Based on what we saw last year, certain products tend to show up with either a 20–50% discount or a bundle promotion. Here are some examples that are likely to return this year:
1. Holiday Gift Towers
-
Last year’s prices dropped from around $89.99 to $44.99 on some of the large towers.
-
These typically include cookies, candies, chocolate-covered pretzels, nuts, and mini cakes.
-
Look out for the Deluxe Holiday Tower of Treats, which is a customer favorite.
2. Signature Pear Gift Boxes
-
The iconic Royal Riviera Pears almost always get featured.
-
You could find them bundled with cheeses or chocolates at a lower price.
-
One notable deal last year: 50% off a 9-piece pear and cheese box.
3. Holiday Drums and Variety Packs
-
These festive tins are packed with snack mixes, chocolate truffles, and popcorn.
-
The Holiday Drum Gift Tin was 50% off in 2024, dropping from $59.99 to around $29.99.
-
These make easy office or teacher gifts, especially if you need to buy in multiples.
4. Bakery Samplers and Breakfast Boxes
-
Look for discounted bakery assortments with coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls, and scones.
-
The Holiday Breakfast Box (with pancake mix, syrup, and coffee) also saw big cuts last year — sometimes up to 40% off.
5. Wine Gift Baskets
-
Not everything in the wine category goes on sale, but some curated sets usually do.
-
Last year, select wine and cheese baskets were 20% off with the early promo code.
-
Larger bundles with both savory and sweet items saw markdowns closer to Black Friday itself.
