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…
******************************
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!

Thanks!

My fiance used to surprise me at our old apartment with a bouquet of those cheap flowers from the check out line at Kroger during the winter. He’d pick them up on the way home from work and it always made our house seem brighter through the cold days!

My mother-in-law has surprised me with flowers more than once when she knows my husband has been absent (due to school) a lot. It’s such a nice, thoughtful surprise.

My hubbie makes me music cd’s for each year we spend together. The year we got married, he included music from the south of France where we honeymooned. Each time I listen to those cd’s I’m reminded of that particular year’s highlights together!

Zhaleh says
GIFT ME! One day in 3rd grade we pulled apart wishbones, and I wished for the Polly Pocket Mansion. When I got home, my mom let me open a birthday present early and there it was! Wishbones have never worked quite that well since.

My (now) husband sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers to my internship after our first date. It was the first time I had received flowers at work and I felt so special!

On our first anniversary, my husband got me 3 stacks of 12×12 scrapbooking paper (since first is paper). one of the stacks was bumpy and when i opened it up, there was a ring taped inside – the ring was the original wedding band that matched my engagement ring (I didn’t get it because it had diamonds in it and in my line of work i cant wear stones so i have a plain wedding band) except two of the ten diamonds had been replaced with our birthstones. he said that the rest of the rings diamonds will be replaced with our kids birthstones when we have some little ones. (and with the extra diamonds that we take out we are going to craft something for our kids to pass down) he is so sweet <3"

GIFT ME!!
My hubby surprised me with a “push present” when we were in the hospital having our baby. After my c-section, he gave me that little blue box that all ladies love to see and it was a gorgeous Tiffany necklace! I was completely shocked!
Alice says
GIFT ME! It’s my birthday on Wed. and since I don’t have a significant other to send me flowers, I’d love to send some from me to me!
Amy G says
GIFT ME!!!! When my fiance (now husband) went on a week long trip to Seattle, he left me a box full of envelopes, one to open each day. Some of them had cute pictures or letters and one even had a beautiful locket. He got major points for that one :)
Christina Vi says

My husband sends me flowers once a year on a random day. It’s always a great surprise.

We could especially use the extra cheer around the house this holiday season, since we’re away from our families for the first time and we just lost our beloved puppy dog.
Kristin says
GIFT ME!
Waaay back in high school, I received a dozen roses AT SCHOOL from a previously-secret admirer. No good story like “I married him” or anything, but that’s what I thought of first when I read your instructions…
Lacretia says
GIFT ME! My favorite gift was when one of my best friend surprised me with a diamond journey necklace at my graduation party.
Aimee says
I was quite surprised to find an engagement ring in my stocking at my boyfriend’s house on Christmas Eve fifteen years ago! He had indicated that the ring buying prospects were somewhat far off, so it was a nice shock.
Hannah says
Gift me!
My husband bought me a beautiful pair of white gold earrings from our favorite local jeweler just because when I was 8 months pregnant with our 4th baby! Left the box and a sweet note on my bedside table while I was in the shower!
NancyY says
GIFT ME! My husband purchased tickets for a national ice skating competition – something I loved to watch on TV but never imagined I get to see in person. A big Valentine’s day surprise.
Rachel K. says
GIFT ME!
My hubby just recently surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of roses just because. It was really nice to be considered and thought of. It took me back to 12 years ago when we started dating. It was a great surprise!

Was working late and my sweet hubby came to my office to bring me dinner and a rose, just because. :)
Ellen says
GIFT ME!
Liz says
GIFT ME! I was shocked last year to get *something* off my Christmas list – that totally doesn’t happen in my family. We generally prefer to surprise each other. :)
Kristin says

My boss just gave me a gift card to Wegmans, our fabulous local grocery store, for going above and beyond for the past few weeks. Very nice surprise!

Gift me!
Best surprise ever was when my husband proposed on the beach in Charleston… after concocting quite a cover-up story so I wouldn’t have any idea. I have to try to figure everything out.
pam says
GIFT ME!
This may sound lame but when I found out I was pregnant I obsessed over one baby gear item after another. I left post-its by my desk at home with my final decisions just so I wouldn’t forget and to watch out for deals. On Valentine’s Day my husband surprised me with my stroller choice. I LOVED it so much more than the flowers or dinner.

When we were first married my husband would occasionally surprise me with a pair of old navy flip flops instead of flowers! It was so much fun.
Stephanie says
Gift me!
My husband actually is great about sending me flowers ‘just because’ – I’m quite lucky! The biggest surprise had to be when he proposed – it was certainly the best surprise and gift ever, and while I think I’m pretty hard to surprise, he definitely did surprise me that day!
Brenda O says
Please… GIFT ME! What a beautiful idea you all have here. It’s a beautiful gesture.
My boyfriend surprised me with some Victoria’s Secret body creams one day after plans to go out with friends fell through. As we all know, being able to go out with friends doesn’t always come easy, therefore when my plans did not pan out, he felt really bad for me. Awww! It was a moment to remember.
Shelby says
GIFT ME!!!
For our three-year anniversary there was what I believed to be a tacit no-presents agreement reached about a week ahead, when we both sheepishly revealed we hadn’t bought anything. Much to my surprise, when the actual day arrived, three thoughtful, and over-the-top generous gifts appeared for me. Wonderful little liar he is.
Lindsay says
Gift me!
When my husband (boyfriend at the time) drove 4 1/2 hours to visit me when I wasn’t expecting to see him for a week. We went to college in town 4 1/2 hours aways from eachother.)

GIFT ME!
My big brother sent me flowers, delivered to my high school in a HUGE basket with a big bunch of balloons attached. I had to carry them around school all day, which meant I got recognition from EVERYONE! Now, I’m not generally fond of that much attention, but on my 18th birthday, it was great! I love my brother, he’s so sweet!
Leah Kinghorn says
GIFT ME!
My husband surprised me with tickets to The Lion King. I was so excited!
Jenn says
GIFT ME…
My husband always bring me home flowers when he gets a raise or a bonus at work. It’s a pleasant surprise for many reasons!
Jordan says
GIFT ME! I few weeks ago I was very stressed out commuting home from work. My boyfriend surprised me at the metro with flowers. We rarely do the flower thing, and to get them for such a small reason made it really special.

Tesse says

Best surprise gift was from my dad – on Valentine’s Day – when I was in college. He had never sent me a Valentine’s gift before, and never has since, but that year, he bought me a sweatshirt and sent me a card. It meant so much to a homesick freshman!
Dee says
GIFT ME!
I love receiving small unexpected gifts. Even when its a friend just picking up the tab for lunch!
Recently my sister got in to Nursing School, so I surprised her with sending her some fresh flowers as a congratulations!
