- 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?

GIFT ME! When I ran my first half marathon my husband surprised me with a sweet card and pretty bouquet of flowers. He’s not the type to do ANY gifts so I was shocked and so happy!! :)

GIFT ME!
My husband has surprised me several times with flowers. The most recent was when I was feeling down about some things, and he sent flowers that very day to my office! They totally cheered me up and my coworkers said I should get flowers every day!
Ginny says

I would have to say my most surprised gift would be my engagement ring! :)

The best surprise gift was when I went to go adopt a puppy and my mother surprised me by adopting the puppy’s sister as well. BEST 2-for-1 deal ever :)

Jenn says
GIFT ME :)
Best surprise gift ever was a coming home to a boyfriend (husband now) cooking homemade chicken parm and sauce for valentine’s day!
Sugar says
Gift Me. My husband gave me flowers on the second date- I still remember being surprised and knowing that he really liked me. I have to say- flowers work!!
Amy says
GIFT ME!
My hubby is much more the type to pick me a flower than to buy a dozen. Several years ago, a dozen red roses show up at work, which I found a bit alarming because I had no idea where these would have come from!
The enclosed card read “From a guy who never sends flowers.” The man’s still got it :) He doesn’t send them often, but that makes them all the more meaningful. I got another dozen when we got engaged, and another last month on our 4th wedding anniversary! I love the little flowers he brings me, and I love the surprise of a big bouquet.
rachel says

“GIFT ME!”
For our 7 year anniversary my husband gave me a whole new diamond wedding ring/band set, wrote me an incredible love letter, and took me to a really nice restaurant! I didn’t expect any of it but I was very grateful!
Jordan says
GIFT ME!
After Thanksgiving there was a mysterious shoebox in the passenger seat of my car with a note on it that said “Not Christmas – Just I Love You, Dad”…he bought me some sweet kicks too. :) I will remember it forever!
Lauren H. says
GIFT ME! My best and biggest surprise was my engagment. I was at a restaurant with my immediate family on Christmas Eve, my now husband came out of the kitchen dressed as a waiter with a ring on a platter. I truly didn’t recognize him at first because I wasn’t expecting to see him.
robin says
“GIFT ME”
My boyfriend will randomly bring me tulips! I just love it!!
Kelly says
GIFT ME!
I was at work when I got a phone call that I had a package at the front desk. I went out to get it and discovered my friend had sent me flowers to say thank you for helping her out earlier in the week. It was completely unexpected and made my day a lot brighter when I was having an otherwise down day.
Sarah B. says
GIFT ME! My favorite surprise gift was my engagement ring . . . and the surprise party with my family and friends that my fiancee set up for me right after he proposed! Best. Surprise. Ever. :)
Sarah says
GIFT ME!
My husband sent me flowers at work on Valentines Day a few years ago and when someone came to give them to me I was so mystified that I was getting flowers that I truly tried to refuse the order. I was like “no, you must have the wrong person. No…” The delivery person had to convince me they were for me. Flash forward to the next year my husband told me I was not receiving flowers b/c he knew the year before left such a lasting impression. lol
Lisa says
Gift me :)
I love the little surprises from my hubby. For example, today: a hot cappuccino on a cold snowy morning.
Marie says
Gift Me – loving the blooms.
On a especially grueling day at work I got call that I had a package. Of course I ran down at lightening speed to find out what it was… flowers from my best friend’s parent – just cause they love me… Totally unexpected and it made not only my day but my week!
Hailey Potter says
GIFT ME!!! please…
Actually, our 6 monthaversary was yesterday…and my husband surprised me with a beautiful print of my favorite painting in the entire world: The Prodigal Son by Rembrandt. Love it. I think my life story is represented in this painting.
And my husband, well…he’s just wonderful. I can’t believe I get to enjoy life with him every day.
heather s says
GIFT ME!!

Alyzande says
GIFT ME
I was given some flowers a couple of weeks back by my mum to say thank you for some help I’d given her.
As I don’t live in the US, I’d like to nominate Sherry’s mom as the recipient of this prize, if I win!
RLB says
GIFT ME! The best gift I ever received was when I got engaged, I lived in Portland, OR. My best group of high school and college friends lived in my hometown of Alexandria, VA. They had arranged with my one H.S. friend who was in Portland to fly out and surprise my fiancee and me one Saturday morning. We were out to breakfast, and 1 of my good VA friends walked by the table. “Mike!??” He pretended to be in town for business and apologized for not looking me up. Then another friends came walking by, and then another and another. 10 friends had flown out on the red eye to spend 2 days with me and then flew back on a red eye Sunday morning. It made me feel so loved.
Nikki says
GIFT ME! (please)
We’re pretty good at leaving little notes and trinkets for no particular reason (we’re dorky romantics like that), but, other than receiving my engagement ring, I think receiving a dozen roses at work for no reason was the most surprising. He always gives me a single rose here & there, claiming that ordering a dozen is cliche, but he broke his own rule and had a dozen long-stemmed red roses, complete with teddy bear, sent to my office. :)
Samantha says
Gift me! My best suprise gift was from my boyfriend who left a rose under my car windshield wiper every day the week of my birthday!
Angela says
GIFT ME!
I have so many favorite gifts I’ll limit it to my favorite surprise flowers. They came from my now husband when we were engaged. It was the one year anniversary of when he proposed and he thanked me for saying yes.
Elise says
GIFT ME!
Last month, my husband came home with flowers, chocolate, and pink bubbly. He declared it “Valentines Day in November!”
Beth says
Gift me!
I was surprised with a whole party for my last birthday!
Michelle says
GIFT ME!
My favorite gift was the sweet flower arrangement my fiance gave me when we bought our first home this year. I was incredibly stressed and that arrangement looked so wonderful in our home full of boxes and unwrapped newspaper :)
Krystal says
GIFT ME!
I’m typically never surprised because I’m an ace snooper. Can’t help it. Something inside me just screams to find the gifts that I know are hidden in the house. Even at 20 I’m still snooping, but my mom now keeps all my gifts at her work office until Christmas Eve because she knows its state of the art security system is the only thing that can deter my efforts. Doesn’t stop me from searching for the receipts and hacking into her computer’s online shopping history though…
bdaiss says
GIFT ME!
I’m afraid I haven’t had any good surprises in way way way too long…
Britt says
Gift me! I would say the most surprised I have been is when my husband proposed. I thought it was a fake ring and he was playing a trick on me. Luckily, it wasn’t!
Jenny P. says
gift me!
this past february was the 3rd anniversary of my fiance and mine’s first date. since he is a captain in the army, he was stationed on base several states away for training. he surprised me with the most beautiful bouquet for our 3rd anniversary with a wonderful note at work. i dried several of the flowers and keep them in my office to remind me how lucky i have it :)
Katherine says
GIFT ME! My favorite surprise was a pair of diamond earrings for my birhtday from my husband. He hid money from a work bonus so I had no idea we could even afford them! He said he felt incredibly guilty hiding the money, but the look on my face when I opened the box was worth it!
Jenna says
GIFT ME!
Janaya says
Gift me! My boyfriend surprised me by leaving a dozen red roses outside my door the night before we went to prom my senior year with a note saying how excited he was to go with me! needless to say i kept him around
Xandrea says

I was having a really crappy day at work and my husband surprised me with a gorgeous bouquet of burnt orange roses sitting on the dining room table when I got home :)
Kathryn says
GIFT ME!
The gift that immediately comes to mind is the computer I received from my parents on my 14th birthday. I was completely not expecting it, especially because I had already received a non-surprise gift from them a few days before – a new desk. But then on my actual birthday, I came home to find that my dad had set up a computer on that desk, complete with “Happy Birthday Kathryn!” as the scrolling screen-saver.
Mandy says
GIFT ME!
When I was a little girl I wanted a dollhouse sooo badly. One Christmas I rushed down the stairs to see what Santa had brought and completely bypassed a huge box at the bottom of the staircase. My parents alerted me to this fact, and inside the box was a beautiful Victorian dollhouse my grandfather had (over the course of three months!) made me! I was completely surprised and am still blown away by that gift!
Melissa says

Erica says

Just because flowers are my favorite!

My husband and I’s first Christmas as a couple a few years back, he bought me a historic election ballot from the city I grew up in. It meant so much that he thought about the gift and didn’t just buy me a sweater. He knew I loved history and old things– it was that Christmas I realized I was meant to marry this man. :)
Heather C says
GIFT ME!!!
My husband bought me the Tiffany necklace I’d be pining for for my birthday this year. I found that one-of-a-kind blue box waiting for me on the kitchen table when I got home from my run that morning. It certainly makes me feel a little more glamorous even when I’m in my mom-wear of jeans and a t-shirt.
