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.

    just last week my fiance brought home a wonderful surprise–a handmade turquoise necklace made by a woman selling jewelry in his office building–it was totally unexpected!

    I was surprised by a sweet, heartfelt thank you card by my boyfriend (he’s my husband now!) after helping him build a wood deck on the back of his house several years ago. He wrote, “I just wanted to thank you for helping me when it was obvious you weren’t very excited” … LOL! … “It meant a lot to me.” He’s not the type to write heartfelt messages very often – it was a special moment.

    GIFT ME!!! One of my best surprises ever was a sort of ‘pre-posal’ by my husband. He has a family friend that is a jeweler and took me to his shop one day after closing. The jeweler laid out all his rings and told me to pick one and not to worry about price because he would get my husband what i wanted. My husband picked out his favorite ring (I didn’t which one it was) and it happened to be mine too! He proposed a month later! It was amazing!!!

    Gift me! It started a couple years ago…I was having a rough day at work (I am
    an RN) and my hubby sent me a text message containing the sweetest poem, that totally changed my outlook of the day. Since then, he will surprise me with these little love notes. They are the best…thoughtful and cost nothing at all, but brighten my day!

    Yay, GIFT ME! I was surprised by flowers from a friend after I had rescued his broken self on the mountain in the middle of our ski trip and then carted him to the local hospital for emergency surgery. Pretty sure I was supposed to be the one giving flowers since he was in the hospital!

She’s amazingly generous & has such a thoughtful heart. Hands down, the best sister ever!!

    But I absolutely LOVE that first picture, with the green ornaments! It makes me wish I could get married again, in December this time, just so I could carry a bouquet like that!

    During college my boyfriend and eventual husband surprised me by placing a rose in my car attached to a picture for each year that we had dated. He did this 6 times for 6 years and put it in my car when I was all over town in different parking places and stores. I was quite impressed! He had asked my parents for all the pictures.

    When I first started dating my fiance, I ended up getting a terrible sick bug one week (one of the disadvantages to working with kids…). After a long day at work, I got home to find him in the lobby of my apt building with flowers and a box of tissues. It was exactly what I needed and the sweetest thing ever!

    Though not technically a gift per se, I was totally surprised by my engagement ring from my hubby. He had been crying poor so I figured the big question was still months away, when he totally knocked my socks off my proposing on the beach during our vacation. One of the best moments of my life!

    my (then) boyfriend was working in a rural area of Guatemala w/o phone service for six months, so when he called me to wish me a happy birthday, I was completely floored. He had traveled over three hours by boat and car to get to the nearest phone. Needless to say we’re married now : )

    GIFT ME!

    Last year, I really wanted a nook for Christmas. I opened all of my gifts and was a bit bummed I didn’t get one (of course, thinking that my boyfriend just hadn’t been listening to my requests!). Christmas Day, we met his parents to drive to a family gathering a few hours away. We walked out to the car and there was an envelope taped to my window. I opened it to find that I would be receiving my nook in the next month! The nook was backordered and that was the best he could do to show me my gift. I was totally surprised!

    After a hard day at work (and venting to my then-boyfriend) I got in the shower when I heard someone come in the bathroom- I peeked around the shower curtain and there was my man with a ring asking me to be his wife. He had planned a big fancy proposal but after hearing about my bad day he said he couldn’t wait. It was a great surprise and my then boyfriend became my fiancé who is now my husband. :) I don’t think too many people get a marriage proposal in the shower- a great surprise. :)

    My favorite surprise gift is when my husband beats me home from work and cleans up all the little messes around the house so I can walk into a neat and tidy home after my long day. I try to always keep it in mind that its a nice surprise and to never take advantage of it because I know he does it as a gesture every time. :)

    The best surprise gift I ever got was when a group of my friends threw me a surprise party for my 21st birthday, because they knew no one had ever thrown me a surprise party before. The surprise actually got ruined about 30 minutes before I got there, but I still had an amazing time and was totally thrilled about the thought and effort that went into the party.
