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!

Best surprise gift was a framed photo collage from my (then) boyfriend (now husband) for Valentine’s Day! He’s not romantic or crafty in general so that was quite a shock to recieve! It still hangs in our bedroom, 4 years later…

My most recent surprise gift was given on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My sister in law organized a surprise “mommy shower” for me in which my sister in laws took me out for breakfast. They then showered me with gifts like body butter, a bella band, maternity clothes etc, and then we had a fun day of shopping.

Sarah P. says
GIFT ME! My husband is great at surprise gifts… he’s a very thoughtful guy. My favorite was probably when he sent a dozen pink roses to me at my office the day after the ultrasound when we found out we were having a baby girl. Not that he needed them, but he scored major points with me for that one! (My coworkers were pretty impressed to)

When we found out the gender of our baby boy on the way, my husband produced a huge tub of blue cotton candy to celebrate! He even offered some to ultrasound tech! So sweet – and I LOVE cotton candy. He did have some pink as well… and we ate it all :) hehe.

I love simple things that surprise me each day that my husband does. Whether that be getting up early to take the dog out or even just grabbing my hand in the middle of the night. :)
Amy says
Gift me !
My husband sent me purple carnations at work a few days before our wedding which I was kind of expecting but he also sent a lucky bamboo plant to arrive the next day which did totally surprise me. I killed the bamboo just one of many plant casualties.

GIFT ME!
When I was poor, like art-school, forage-for-couch-change poor, my equally-poor friends all chipped in a couple bucks to buy me a $40 coat (a fortune at the time) that I really, really wanted and thought I could never have. Sigh. I still feel the warmth from that gesture.

Sara Smith says
GIFT ME! The best gift I have been surprised with is coming home to an empty sink (dishes all washed)…BEST THING EVER!!
Dana @ House*Tweaking says
“GIFT ME!” For my 21st birthday, my boyfriend {now Handy Hubby} bought me a banjo…a right-handed one. I’m left-handed. Apparently, when I mentioned that before I die, someday I’d like to learn to play the banjo he took it as I wanted a banjo right then. We still laugh about the look on my face when he gave it to me. Priceless!
Rachel says

6 months in London with the man of my dreams!

Rebecca says
GIFT ME!!
How to pick one…my husband loves surprising me! I’ll go back to the beginning (about 10 yrs ago) when we worked together and had just started dating. He closed the store where we worked the night before Easter knowing I was bummed about missing the family dinner because I had to open the store. He hid a bunch of plastic easter eggs all over the place. They were filled with clues to other eggs and cute little inside jokes. I loved every minute of looking for those eggs and still love every minute with him!!
Cindy says
GIFT ME!! I love my husband, but flowers are a rare commodity, so this would be wonderful! My favorite flower are hydrangeas, they were in our wedding boquet.
Sara says
GIFT ME! My husband made me the most wonderful DVD for Christmas last year. He included footage from our wedding and honeymoon and even put the song from our first dance on it. One of the best surprises I could ask for!!

Stacy says

Elle Sees says
GIFT ME!
I’d always talked of how I’d never had a surprise bday party. So on my 30th bday, I opened the door to have my friends jump out and surprise me. I was surprised all right. My first thought (after yelling, “NO!”) was that someone had broken in, so I ran right back out, getting tangled in my Happy Birthday banner. Surprise, indeed.
