Fab Freebie: Gifts In Bloom

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won (and check out a special discount!)***

It’s the season of giving, aka: the season of gifting. Which is why this week’s giveaway from GiftTree.com should come in handy. Fresh blooms always make a room feel more festive and inviting, especially around the holidays. And GiftTree has a great selection of florals with some holiday flair:

Gift Tree Xmas Bouqet

And no worries if you’re having trouble deciding whether to send a bouquet to your loved one or just to yourself. The $100 gift card that’s up for grabs means you can actually do both.

Gift Tree Belle Ball

Here are all the dirty deets:

  • PRIZE: An $100 gift card towards anything on GiftTree.com, including flowers (they’re made by local florists & may vary slightly from the pics).
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GIFT ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about a time you were surprised by a gift (whether it was a bouquet of flowers or something else). Maybe your guy got you a dozen roses “just because”? Or you came home to a wrapped present on your half birthday?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 8th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The fifty United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

Not only do we have one winner, but everyone can get 10% off any order on GiftTree.com with code YHL10. Happy gifting everyone!

And our lucky winner (as selected by random.org) is… Roshni (who gets surprised often by her husband, so she couldn’t pick just one instance as her favorite). Congrats!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from GiftTree.

    “GIFT ME!” Before we got married my husband sent me flowers at work for working so hard on our wedding plans. It was really sweet and unexpected.

    GIFT ME! My cousin sent me shoes for my birthday. We having a running gag about re-using shoe-boxes, for all our gifts to each other so to get a shoe box that actually had (an adorable pair of) shoes in it was awesome and hilarious and incredibly surprising.

    My favorite gift ever was the rescue puppy I received for my 26th birthday. The little peanut-butter-colored pooch quickly became my best friend and constant companion–and 8 years later, we’re still inseparable. :)

    My dad brought me a silver necklace one day after work, and he had wrapped it in paper towels that he had on his work truck. I still have the necklace, but have lost my dad. I will never forget him surprising me that day.

    CHEESY as it sounds, the surprise of my engagement is pretty much the best gift I ever got. Hubby did it while we had a quiet moment at my parents’ house, the day before a huge family reunion. I totally had a perma-smile all weekend!

    I’ve been surprised by a few excellent gift givers but my two favorites are from my husband. The fist is when I came home from work to find a cute Christmas box waiting for me. Inside was the cutest fluffiest white Himalayan kitten! The second and most fun had to be when I was entering a magazine contest every month to try and win one of their giveaways. I was sad that I never won and began to get a pessimistic view on giveaways. Then one day a package arrived for me and inside was my favorite perfume and a note saying I had won! It only took a second to realize that the handwritten note was from my husband! What a wonderful guy!

    It was when the hubbs prepared a picnic with all the details taken care of–he had the car all packed with everything, and even had the canoe and life jackets all ready to go. After our picnic, he took me on a canoe ride around the entire lake. He told me to “just relax” and let him do all the work. :) Sweet!

    I had a boyfriend during college and one semester I had one class that was at night once a week. This particular year it happened to fall on Valentine’s Day, so we planned on going out to dinner that following Friday instead. Boyfriend told me he was going to grab burgers from Chili’s and have them at my place when I got home from class. I get back from class only to find my entire living room and kitchen lit by tons of small white candles and he had cooked us filet mignons and had all these other presents for me. I walked in the door speechless and boyfriend said “Sorry, Chili’s was out of burgers tonight.” LOL!

    For my 24th birthday back in February, my dad surprised me by getting me a soccer jersey for my favorite player in the world. Then, wouldn’t you know, his team (Spain) went on to win the stinking World Cup this year – officially making me a good luck charm! I don’t even remember telling my dad I wanted a jersey, but he figured it out somehow! I was completely shocked.

    When I was dating my husband, he showed up on a date with a brand new chess set for me. He was going to teach me how to play. It was oddly romantic and showed me that he valued my brain, too! Hee hee.

    one year, a bunch of my friends got together for my birthday and hired a singing telegram to serenade me at my work.

    he showed up in a giant, hot-pink gorilla suit.

    it probably could have been pretty embarassing…

    but i worked at a daycare at the time, so all the kids really got a kick out of it.
