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…

My husband surprised me with diamond earrings on Christmas morning when I was pregnant with our second child. They were beautiful and giving a gift that elaborate isn’t his style so it was a real surprise!
Geargoyle says
GIFT ME! Please and thank you. lol
My husband has surprised me with many wonderful gifts over the years and some have been lovely flower arrangements. But I remember one year for my birthday a flower arrangement of lovely purple flowers in a purple flower-shaped tea-cup came from out of the blue. Purple is of course my favorite color ever. No one world fess up for weeks! It drove me crazy and was such a sweet gesture. Eventually I found out it was from one of my sweetest friends from out of state. I’ll never forget that one!

I was surprised by the autumn-themed placemats our kids made for us when they were at my mother-in-law’s house. My little boy isn’t very good at keeping secrets, so he handed me the gift bag and said, “It’s placemats.” :)

GIFT ME….
It was our 2 year wedding anniversary, but I was headed to a job interview, and stopped by the apt office on my way. Grabbed a package, and went to my interview. When I got back out to the car, (after an amazing interview, in which I got the job) I opened the package to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers. They were really for our anniv. but felt like they were for the job interview :)

One of my surprising gifts was a really cool NorthFace backpack from my husband for my birthday right after I started back to school. He said he knew I would be in school for a while and wanted it to last. (5 years running and it’s still great) :)

Wasn’t that suprised when my husband sent flowers to my office one last year, but was shocked when he sent them again 2 days later (after hearing how much I liked them the first time).
Wendi says
Gift me!!! When my husband and I got engaged and I was looking for a job in his town, he surprised me with a t-shirt and portfolio from the university where I had an interview. He thought they would bring me good luck and they did! I got the job and we will celebrate both our 4th wedding anniversary and my 4th year on the job in 2011.

A few months after being married, my husband left flowers in my car while I was working, which, if you knew my husband, you’d know is a big deal. (He’s the kind of guy that doesn’t like to drive across town unless he has to) Anyway, it was a great surprise for me! :)

I was uber surprised when my husband planned a trip to NYC for our first anniversary. He arranged for my time off with my boss and then gave me clues a few days before we left so I could guess where we were going. It was totally romantic!
Autumn Tao says
GIFT ME!
My husband always does a great job of surprising me on Christmas. Our first year together when we were dating he ordered me a boatload of organic spices, since I love to cook. It was so thoughtful!
Christy says
GIFT ME!
My husband is to frugal to have flowers delivered so he always hand delivers them, even to my work!!

My daughter was born a month ago today. When I went into labor, my husband stopped on his way home to get a dozen roses which followed us to the birth center and then to the hospital after 40 hours of labor…. 17 laboring hours later, Larkin was born. The flowers started as buds and after 57 hours, they had turned into full blooms. They lasted for a week after that and we were able to use them in photos taken of our sweet girl.

GIFT ME!
I’ve yet to be surprised by a gift. I can always get out of my husband what he’s going to get me for a birthday or for Christmas… and I was the classic “peeker” when I was little–snooping to see what Santa got me,
Sally says
GIFT ME!!!
I once got surprised by flowers from my grandmother when I was really sick as a kid. Made me appreciate surprise gifts.
Erin says

I was happy the morning I walked into work to find a cupcake on my desk. Thanks to a co-worker Monday was a little brighter.
Christina says

Once when I was sick, my husband surprised me with a random gift of a stuffed butterfly toy he saw while running out to do some grocery shopping for me. It was so surprising and out of the blue for him and made me feel better.
Leah says
GIFT ME!
Best surprise “present” ever came to me and my brother in the summer of 1991. I still remember the night my mom came home with a bunch of stuff in shopping bags and opened them. I know I was confused why we would be getting all this animal-related stuff, since we didn’t have a pet. That was, until my parents told us we were getting a dog the next day! I don’t remember annoying my parents to get a pet, so I guess they just decided it was time. We picked up my dog Toby from the pound the next day (Mom and Dad had already picked him out, we just had to go get him), and he was my best friend until he passed away New Year’s Day 2000. Sweetest pound puppy ever! :D
Rebecca says
GIFT ME! Please!
Brenda says
GIFT ME!
The week my husband and I returned from our honeymoon was insane for me at work. On Thursday of that week I had surprise flowers delivered. Absolutely beautiful and the perfect thing to lift up my mood during a not-so-great week.
Sara says
Gift me please! One of my favorite surprise gifts was when I was working at a doctor’s office and was scheduled for Valentine’s Day (which was Saturday that year) and my husband made a 45 minute drive one way to my work to drop off a bouquet of my favorite flowers. It was extra special because I had never received flowers at work before!
jackie says

Staci Wykes says
GIFT ME please :)
My husband is pretty good at random flowers at work! They light up my desk and smell it up lovely! This is will give me the chance to return the favor (guys like flowers too, right?!?)
Fiona says
GIFT ME! :)
We have a grad student renting one of our spare bedrooms (we live very close to DC, and she goes to school in town), and her parents sent us a beautiful basket of flowers to say thanks when we invited her to share our Thanksgiving with us, since flying all the way out to the Midwest seemed rather silly with Christmas coming around the corner. We turned it into our Thanksgiving centerpiece, and enjoyed the blooms for weeks.
Barbara says
Gift me!
Best gift ever, the Christmas my parents surprised me with the wall clock I had been admiring for some time. As to date, it has been hanging in 4 different homes and I still love it!

I was surprised on my birthday with flowers. These weren’t ordinary flowers nor was this an ordinary birthday. I was 5 months pregnant and hated sweets (And I’m a sweets finatic!). My husband isn’t a flower giver either. So imagine my surprise. This was the 1st time after 2 years of dating. The flowers were made into a birthday cake with carnations and 1 beautiful red rose in the middle with a very nice card.
Meghan says
GIFT ME! Last year, my husband and I bought a new oven range. Well, the company took away the old oven, and we totally forgot to take out our baking items in the bottom drawer, including our beloved pizza stone!! The women in my accountability group at church pitched in and bought us a new one! That was definitely a surprise.
BTW, I just came across your blog and I LOVE it! My husband and I have been living in total chaos for the past year while we’ve been doing renovations to our condo. We re-did our floors for the ENTIRE downstairs of our condo, and for a week we were eating off an ironing board in our bedroom and doing dishes in our bathtub! Oh, how I wish I had known of your blog then! The information you have is so helpful! Thank you!
Sally Blanchard says
Gift me! I’ll send flowers to my grandma!

I was surprised by a trip to NYC and Wicked tickets a couple years back — so much that I couldn’t contain my happiness and cried.

Jenna W says

We are expecting our first baby at the end of January and have gotten so many gifts already that it overwhelms me (in a good, emotional type way!). Many people we didn’t even expect to have shown great generosity!

karyn says
GIFT ME! All I wanted for Christmas a few years ago was a new toilet to replace the 1968, tan, leaking one in our half bath. Although my husband swore it was a trap, he surprised me with exactly what I asked for.

I get little gifts from my fiance all the time – a rose and a stuffed snowman for my desk at work, a dozen roses another time, a mix of flowers, getting woken up by my favorite Starbucks drink…he treats me right!
