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!

My hubby threw me a surprise 30th b-day party in July while my family and some of his cousins were visiting – and my BFF flew in for the occasion! He planned it for 4 months with the help of my friends, and I had NO IDEA. :)

I’m not a huge fan of surprises, but I love it when the hubby brings home flowers just because.
Jean says
GIFT ME!
I’m trying to think of a time someone surprised me with a gift and I can’t think of anything. I’m a little bummed now. That $100 gift card would cheer me up though!
Janna says
GIFT ME! My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday and had a vermont teddy bear sent to my office – wasn’t expecting that at all
Sabra says
The best gift I ever received was on our 3rd wedding anniversary. My husband was serving in Iraq and shocked me by showing up at the door totally unexpectedly!! He had somehow kept the secret that he was getting a 2-week leave to come home and it happened to fall on our anniversary. I don’t think I have ever laughed and cried so hard at the same time. That anniversary gift will be a hard one for him to ever top :)
Gale says
GIFT ME! I love flowers and my birthday is coming – so is my Mom’s, so I’d love to be able to send HER flowers, because she always remembers me. Best surprise gift ever? Engagement ring!!! :))))

My parents surprised my sisters and I with a game table for Christmas when we were younger. It was totally cool back in the day…and the larger package made it even more exciting.

“GIFT ME!”
When I was about 13 I bothered my mother for a new day bed. She kept telling me it was to expensive and my old bed was fine. I came home from school one day to find it in my bedroom with the nicest comforter set and all. It was such a great surprise.
Jessica O. says
GIFT ME! It sounds corny, but the best surprise gift I was given came in the form of a positive pregnancy test. My baby is now 6 months old and nothing my hubby has ever given me has been or ever will be better.
Joy says

I picked out a watch for my combo annivesary/birthday gift last year and my husband surprised me by upgrading to the diamond version of the watch. Diamonds are always a great gift!

The best surprise was a weekend getaway birthday present for my 35th – husband planned it all, woke up that morning and was told to pack my bags. Grove Park Inn in NC =heaven!

Melissa says

My most unexpected gift ever was my engagement ring. My fiance is super practical and I didn’t expect him to propose when he did because I was out of work and we were both starting our careers. I was shocked (though, obviously, it worked out!).
Rachel says
GIFT ME!
My mom, who is a very non-sentimental, no fuss kinda gal, surprised me one year for getting a pair of cute heart shaped pajamas for Valentines day!!
Dee says
GIFT ME!
My husband surprised me with roses at work (he rarely ever gives me flowers) because I was having a bad day.
Donna Cutini says
Gift Me! How pretty!

Best gift ever! Toss up between my husband surprising me this year with a vintage card catalog (that I had been looking for for about 2 years) and when I turned 12 and my parents hired someone to come in a deck about my bedroom with all sorts of balloons (from hand shaped animals and flowers to helium- all sizes- my room was virtually covered) it was magical & surprising and really stands out in my memory.
carrie says
Gift Me! My husband just bought me a new computer! I was so surprised and I love it!
Kristin says
GIFT ME!
The best gift I can remember getting was a puppy after my dad said many times that we couldn’t get one (not just one, but the specific dog). He finally gave in and while he and my mom were “out Christmas shopping” one evening in December, they got the puppy. I’ll never forget them coming in the front door with Jena’s little head poking out of his jacket. My brother, sister and I freaked out! He passed away the following August (we didn’t even know he was sick at the time), so she was the last Christmas present we got from him.

My husband never fails to surprise me with unexpected thoughtfulness, trinkets, gifts, and words. He is the best!
tessah says
GIFT ME! My in-laws are really great about out-of-the-blue gifts, so when I finished up my senior paper I was flabbergasted to have a beautiful (and delicious) gift basket delivered to our apartments (we were in Tulsa, they live in NY). So sweet:)
andrea says
GIFT ME!! Does a suprise engagement ring count!?
Kristen says
Gift me!
One Valentine’s Day in high school, I was sitting at home with my parents when suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My dad actually went to get it because well…it was a little strange for someone to be at the door when it was dark out. Turns out it was a pizza guy BUT we hadn’t ordered a pizza. My high school boyfriend worked at Little Caeser’s and had made a heart shaped pizza with “I Love You” spelled out in pepperonis and then had it delivered by one of his friends. Pretty funny to look back on, but gotta give the poor guy credit…it was creative! haha

Christy says
GIFT ME! My husband was traveling on business in Russia on our anniversary. He sent me gorgeous flowers and the card read, “From Russia with love.”
Michelle says

When my husband (then boyfriend) broke up with me during high school, he gave me a bouquet of roses, stuffed dalmation, and a love song CD homecoming weekend when he realized how big of a mistake dumping me was.
That CD is still in my rotation of favorite music mix, 8 years later.
Amanda says
GIFT ME!
I moved to a new city to live with my boyfriend. When I arrived, he surprised with a beautiful silver necklace that was totally to my taste. It was unexpected and very sweet. I like my jewelry to have meaning, so I love having that necklace to commemorate moving in together.

One year for my anniversary my husband took me to dinner at a wonderful restaurant – that alone was a great gift but then he surprised me by having the waiter bring out a bottle of limoncello he sneaked in earlier. It was the same kind we had in Italy and he wanted to remind me of our time there.
Carolyn says
GIFT ME! The best gift ever was washing dishes and cleaning the apartment when my roommates and I all the had the flu.

I think my greatest surprise to date was my beautiful engagement to my husband! I was so surprised, I had no idea that coffee on a Monday morning would turn in to “will you marry me?” The surprise of having a photographer there was also amazing – I will never forget that day!
Tiffany Morrison says
GIFT ME! The best surprise was a recent one. For my birthday, my in-laws framed a really nice piece of original art for me.

One of my friends surprised me with a framed photo of the two of us. Such a simple gesture that made a huge impact!
Emily says
Gift Me! :)
The biggest surprise I’ve received in the way of flowers was a beautiful bouquet of gerbera daisies that my little brother sent me for my 30th birthday…he was living in Brazil at the time with his brand new wife and the flowers, and the fact that he was living so far away and had just gotten married, were a huge reminder about how much he’s grown up – and how old I had gotten! :)
Michelle says
GIFT ME!!!
My husband has been surprising me with random thoughtful gifts since we started dating… and I’m still shocked everytime he does it!
Laura says
GIFT ME!!
I’ve never had a suprise gift from my boyfriend (He struggles in the gift department) but he does the sweetest things, like yesterday he called me over to him so he could kiss me under the mistletoe. aww!
Jane says
Gift Me!
The biggest gift surprise was a lawn mower from my parents as a home-warming gift when I moved into my first house. If I won the gift certificate, I would send flowers to myself and my parents:)
