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

Gift meh!
The best gift I ever received was having my soldier home for Christmas. I came home after a long night working on Christmas Eve day and went up to my bathroom to take a shower and relax. When I got out of the shower, there he was! Standing right outside my bathroom as I was wrapped in a towel. Haha! Best present EVER!

Gift Me!! My hubby showed up at my apartment door, and proposed. It was a big surprise since we lived states apart.

A boyfriend sent me flowers once after we went on a date and got snowcones. The flowers were as bright as the snowcones. I thought it was cute.

My grandfather surprised me one Christmas with a gorgeous, antique sapphire and diamond engagement ring. I was only 14 and the fact that he thought I was responsible enough and special enough to receive such a gift made it unforgettable.
Kari says
GIFT ME! The best I think was when my boyfriend left a scavenger hunt for me to find that led to an edible arrangements gift with chocolate covered strawberries. Very creative!
Mary Neill says

My step-mom surprised me last year by sending me an early Christmas gift in October! She knew I wanted a new pair of black flats and they showed up on my doorstep a few days later. :)

Gift me! The best surprise gift I ever received was my engagement ring from my husband. It was completely unexpected, and the ring was exactly what I wanted (even though we had barely even talked about rings!)

Alana says
GIFT ME
so I can’t choose between two surprises so I will quickly describe two that relate to my husband, Brandon.
1. We dated long distance(he’s from Md, I’m from Ma)for a month when he drove to Boston so we could meet in person for the first time. He called saying he was in town, so, I suggested the logical thing that we meet at at my house. Brandon, being unconventional, said he wanted to meet at the Home Depot which was located next to his hotel, and I agreed (a little ironic considering the amount of time we spend at Home Depot nowadays because of our DIYing). I arrived at the Home Depot and he was not out front but hiding somewhere in the store! He actually said I had to find him! I looked in every department(for a guy I’d never met) for 15 min and was about to leave thinking I was being set up. I gave one more scan around the store and “surprise” there is the cute blond blue-eyed boy I knew from photos, hiding in the door section. I proceeded to tackle him for putting me through that.
2. Two months later I flew down to Md on New Years Eve to visit Brandon. I was walking to the arrival terminal when I see a group of strangers standing in a line. One asks me if I was Alana, so I said yes. They then, one at a time, pulled out signs that read, Alana, Will, You, Marry…and then Brandon comes out with the ring! I had no idea. Ended up being the best NYE I’ve ever had. I said yes, and our 4th anniversary is next week.

Thanks so much for the awesome giveaway! Best surprise I ever got was a piece of furniture from my hubby. I’d had my eye on it for a while, he took me to buy it, it had been sold…to him. It was set up in our house when we got home. He’s a sneaky one.
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme) says
GIFT ME! I once got gorgeous flowers on my birthday from my boyfriend’s mom. That’s always nice!

Im always surprised by random, thoughtful gifts. A flower here, a book there. It goes a long way!
katherine says
GIFT ME! I dont think i can think of any “gifts” but my husband likes to mail me post cards every once in a while telling me how happy he is and how much he loves me.
Kate M says
Gift Me!
My husband surprised the heck out of me one Valentine’s Day when I was 9 months pregnant with our daughter. We had agreed on no gifts, but he had other plans when he gave me a beautiful diamond necklace!
Lili says
Gift Me!
My very first Mother’s Day after marrying my wonderful husband… He surprised me, but only after making me SO MAD!!! Lol.
I waited all day long for something from him, and kept expecting it. Ok, no breakfast in bed… Ok, no special lunch after church… (and I kept asking him things to lead him into letting me know if there was something special planned) Nothing. All day. I put the kids to bed that night, and I was STEAMING mad that he did not do ANYTHING for me!!!
So I plopped into bed early, huffing and mad. He went into the other room, instead of coming to bed with me…. At this point I was planning his murder! Then, he comes into the room with two candles, and sets them down. (Y’all, this is G-rated, I promise). He leaves again, and my curiosity is peaked… He comes back in with a pan of water, and I am like… um…. Then, he moves the covers off of my feet and gives me a pedicure IN BED… He bought a Beauti-Control pedicure and manicure kit. And he sat there with a scrubby, and foot creams, and gave me a mani-pedi right from the comfort of my bed. I actually cried. :)
Katie says
GIFT ME!
I love to surprise people with flowers! Every time they look at them it brightens their day and reminds them how much you love them!
Kendra says
GIFT ME! My good friend surprised me with a mini chocolate cake for my birthday last week & we never get each other gifts!
Jackie says

Gloria says
GIFT ME…
My now husband proposed to me 11 years ago on December 23rd. It wasn’t actually on Christmas, so I was super surprised!!
beabee says
GIFT ME!!
My hubby (before he was my hubby) sent me flowers when he was working several states away for the summer. We had just started going out, and the card with the flowers said “I love you” which we hadn’t said to each other yet. I was a little freaked out, so I didn’t mention it to him. It took us another seven or eight months to say “I love you” for real. At that time, I brought up the card, and he said he had no idea what I was talking about. I think the flower people had taken matters into their own hands!
Jenny P says
GIFT ME!
My favorite surprise gift was a full size mirror on Christmas from my husband (boyfriend at the time). I had told him that I love the mirror about 4 months before and I never thought another thing of it. He is such a good listener!
Amy says
GIFT ME!
A few months ago, I had to take a difficult standardized test. When I got home, my husband had a card, bouquet of flowers, and a fancy dessert waiting for me on the dining room table. It was so thoughtful and it made for such a sweet end to my terribly exhausting day.
Elizabeth says
Gift me! When my husband and I were dating, he surprised me with a flower-but not just any flower! It was a gold dipped rose in a crystal vase! It was gorgeous, and makes for such a lovely display piece in our home.

Dana Beth says

when i gave birth to my son my BFF was living across the world (me in TN -she in South Korea). She sent me a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers and a designer (uber posh) diaper bag. I think I cried for 30 solid minutes it touched me so much.
Juliann says

It’s always a good surprise when my hubby brings home a bouquet of flowers. It’s so simple, but it makes me so happy!
Jamie M M says
GIFT ME!
The first birthday i had after meeting my husband, he sent me flowers after insisting that we should only be ‘just friends’ (it was long distance). I tell people we were never boyfriend/girlfriend – we went from his ‘just friends’ status to being engaged.

Meredith says
Gift Me!
When I told my husband that I was pregnant he snuck out of the house the next morning while I was sleeping and came home with flowers and a carton of orange juice (you know, for the folate). I thought it was so thoughtful.
Hillary says
Gift me! My mom sent me flowers to school in 10th grade on Valentine’s Day. The card read “To someone I can’t imagine life without.” I will never forget it.
Jin says
GIFT ME!!!!
Whenever my husband sends me flowers or gets me a card…it’s always a surprise and COMPLETELY thoughtful!
Kara says
Gift Me! My husband proposing to me, but he put the ring in a truffle box for me to find.He had the top taped down (after he opened it to place the ring inside) and I said “this looks defective, I don’t want to eat them!”. Can you blame a girl? You don’t want to eat tampered chocolates!

“Gift Me”
My husband loves to surprise me. The best surprise (apart from the proposal) is when I came home after 2 week long trip back to my homeland to find bunch of new furniture in the house (2 fully furnished bedrooms with dressers, beds, and best of all- full wall of mirrored wardrobes in master bedroom!). Hubby spent all the free time after work on assembling and putting everything together for my arrival. I think he loves me ?
