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:
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.
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…

GIFT ME!!!
For Christmas last year, my boyfriend got me a weekender bag. I had be bringing my stuff over in tote bags or store bags and so he got me a “proper bag” but this wasn’t all. He brought me into the bedroom closet (it’s a huge walkin) and the entire right side was cleared out. In it was my bag. He told me to open it – a set of his house keys and the garage door opener was in it. He said “I want you to feel at home. I give you half the closet, I cleaned out half of the bathroom and I want your car to have a space in the garage and you to have keys to the house”. I was shocked. I loved it.

Before we got married my Husband showed up at my parents house (across the country) on Christmas. I hadn’t seen him in two months and didn’t think that I would get a chance to see him for another three months.

I’m very lucky to have a lot of people who have surprised me with gifts! But one of my favorites was my guy roommate leaving flowers and a gift certificate to a local restaurant on my dresser the day I finished my first-year law school exams. No, he had no ulterior motive – just a great friend!!

Suprised by an anonomous person with a bouqet of flowers on my first day of work! Found out who sent it – a close friend that later became my husband. I still think it all stemmed back from that bouqet. :)

Just a couple of days ago I was having an extra hard day…I had just taken a shower and when I stepped out of the bathroom I was surprised with a big bouquet of roses/daisies held out to me by my charming husband-they were an exact replica of the first flowers he ever gave me. So sweet!!!

I think my favorite gift would be a poorly handmade valentines day card from my husband… the outside said “i love you” and the inside said “even if you burn pancakes”.
(*** side note ***)
i had ATTEMPTED to make heart shaped pancakes for valentines day breakfast but burned them something fierce… i was upset.
his cute note put me in the right frame of mind… and still does. its on the side of our fridge… facing the stove… just in case. :)
love,
Jessi

GIFT ME! I really wanted a surprise party as a gift for my 16th birthday. My mom kept saying “the surprise is- there’s no surprise party.” The week before my birthday we were invited last minute to eat out with friends of the family. Instead, I walked into my favorite restaurant with my closest girlfriends waiting for me! I still love surprises and I’m expecting one for my 30th… in 5 years!

My boyfriend got me “just because” flowers the other day. It was a big surprise especially since I wasn’t so pleasant to him that morning…
Amanda says
GIFT ME! My husband is one of those flower-getting-guys, but his goal is to have it always be a surprise. I’ve never gotten them for an occasion….always some random time he comes home from work with them :) No complaints here!

When my husband and I first started dating he left flowers on my door step before I left for a work trip. At the time I thought he was stalking me because my flight was super early in the morning BUT now I look back and think how sweet he was.

Just last week a co-worker heard me lamenting the lack of Hannuka candles available in the area, and the next day I found the most beautiful ones on my desk.
Jodi says
GIFT ME! My co-worker suprised me the other day with a “thanks for being you” latte from my favorite coffee shop. Such a sweet, thoughtful gift (or maybe she was worried my head might soon hit the keyboard!)

One Valentine’s Day my then fiance and I decided to forgo gifts and just do dinner out. Instead, he came home with a beautiful ruby ring. One of the few times I’ve cried over a gift and been genuinely surprised.
Crystal says
GIFT ME!
The last time I was surprised with a gift was on a vacation in the carribean with my husband. We looked around the diamonds international and tanzanite international shops and he had me pick out a ring that I adored! That doesn’t happen often, and he wanted to make up for it. He did. <3

This past Friday night I came home to a surprise baby shower. My friends from where we used to live drove the 2 1/2 hrs to surprise me and turns out my hubby was in on it and had known for the last month! He took the kids out for the night so that I could have a fun time with my friends. It was a great surprise!
Virginia says

My mom is one of those amazing people who sends gifts just because she’s thinking of you. They’re never anything extravagant – they’re always the “I remember you saying you needed a small reusable bag and I saw this one and here you go” variety. Which is absolutely my favorite kind of gift :)

“Gift Me” Best surprise was flowers delivered to my work on my birthday. I thought they were from my husband and when I opened the card, they were from my in-laws. So thoughtful!
Robin J says
GIFT ME! My sophomore year of high school, all my close friends had “significant others” for Valentine’s Day. I did not. I had been lamenting my singleness for weeks. Imagine my surprise when in the middle of chemistry, the school secretary delivers a dozen roses to me from a “secret admirer.” I knew it was my dad, but I didn’t tell anyone else. He sent me flowers or chocolates every Valentine’s Day and had them delivered to school. It always made me feel very loved.
Sara Stirling says

I used to be a teacher and on the day one of my classroom pets died my husband brought home a beautiful bunch of flowers. It was just a silly little gerbil but she was one of my babies and it meant so much that he knew I was sad.
