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!

Gift me! please! My college roommate dropped and shattered the old yellow pyrex mixing bowl I had brought from home(and used with my mom since I was a kid) and for my last birthday (three years later) she hunted down an exact replica-scratched paint and all.

I loved my birthday/Christmas gift last year from my hubby which was a pair of diamond stud earrings.
Amanda says
Gift Me.
For our first year of dating, my boyfriend had flowers delivered to me at work once a month. It was always such an exciting thing to wonder what my flowers for the month would be, and I looked forward to that day every month!
Lindsey says

My husband can’t keep a secret to save his life. However, he did surprise me when he proposed 3 years ago!
Shima says
GIFT ME!!!!
I see my best surprise gift every day. It’s my daughter… We’d given up trying to have kids and thought it’d be just the two of us… we decided to do one last round with the specialist and it worked. Best present ever.

My boyfriend is always surprising me. In mid-October I came home from work to find two lovely mums & two pumpkins on my patio. Talk about a great way to end a crazy work week.
Lauren says
GIFT ME!
My husband surpised me with Daisy, our cute little chiahuahua,for our 4th wedding anniversary after I had mentioned I would love to get a little dog someday. It was such a wonderful suprise when he brought her home in a little pink purse carrier!
Catherine says
GIFT ME!
Once my hubby (then boyfriend) surprised me with–wait for it–a hubcap. Possibly due to my less than stellar parallel parking skills, one of mine had disappeared but I couldn’t be bothered to replace it, so I drove around for months without it. Then one day I came home from work and there was a shiny new one with a bow! It might not seem like the most romantic gift ever, but it was very sweet. :)
Amanda says
My husband brought me home a 6 year old rescue dog who had two bad hips and could barely walk. I fell in love with him immediatly and after 1 surgery and many summer evenings teaching him to swim to build strength he was able to walk again and we were on our way to surgery #2 to fix him completely. Unfortunatly he only was in our lives for 8 months,(we tearfully had to put him down due to cancer 2 weeks before his next scheduled operation) but he lives in our hearts forever. He tought us so much about compassion and perserverance….and that was a gift no money could ever buy!

GIFT ME!
My best friend lives in Texas (I’m in Kansas). One day I came home to a package in the mail (who doesn’t love getting personal mail?), with a “Someone in Texas Loves Me” mug inside. I appreciated the spontaneity plus the cheesiness of the mug. Makes me smile every time I use it.
Linde says
GIFT ME!!
During a particularly rough patch last year, my husband surprised me the Love Actually soundtrack, my favorite movie. Brightened my day!
Lara says
GIFT ME! My very sweet husband surprises me with flowers often. Usually they are just because, and it is such a nice treat to come home to.

GIFT ME! I just got a wonderful surprise for my birthday last week. He organized a lunch for my 2 best friends and I. After lunch, the staff came out with the best red velvet cake from a local bakery and a card from my husband. He had dropped the sweet surprise off earlier that day to top off our lunch. What a delicious surprise!

My husband just gifted me with a beautiful anniversary band for our 6th wedding anniversary. Awww… :)
Jenni says
GIFT ME!
I am not very good at surprises AT ALL (I’m trying to get a good one for my DH this year)! My parents are really good at it, but my favorite surprize gift of all would be the heirloom cake plate that my Grandmother gave me a few years ago, which was her mother’s.
Meghan says
GIFT ME!
I was making calzones from scratch for the first time. I had the wrong dough and everything was just falling apart on me. In walks my boyfriend with flowers. They were just a random gift and they made my day.
He added a bonus gift by driving me to the store to get the right dough.
Julie B says

“GIFT ME!”
I love fresh flowers!! I only get them every so often (besides the $5 bouquets I pick up from the farmer’s market in the summer), but last year on Valentine’s Day I received a beautiful bouquet of yellow, orange and pink tulips! =)

Gift me! My best surprise was a NIKON D5000. My husband knew I would expect it at Christmas, so he gave it to me some random October day.
Jennifer B. says

I love it when I come home and my husband has unexpectedly brought home a dozen roses and some dark chocolate for me. :)
Kristina says
Gift me! My husband is not a gift giving kind of guy, but one Christmas he actually went on Ebay to bid on not one but two Coach purses. He really out did himself that year.
Ashley says

Marci says
GIFT ME… i am too great at gift-guessing! i’m not sure if it’s a gift or a curse
Anna H says
GIFT ME! After pointing out a field of beautiful flowers to my boyfriend, I came home the following day to find a boquet of them on my front porch.
sarah says
GIFT ME!
I can never wait for surprises. I am the biggest snoop ever.
Kim says
GIFT ME!! :)
I came home a few years back, and my boyfriend had brought home a real Christmas tree for me! It was great because he knew that I grew up with all artificial trees and this was his chance to be the first one to get me the real-deal.
Alyson says
GIFT ME!
I got a dozen red roses from my boyfriend as a surprise a few months and couldn’t have been more shocked! I love fresh flowers and this would be awesome :)
Lea says
Gift me!
(Please) ;P
My husband likes to make “secret compartments” in gift boxes. He will get me something sweet or practical (flowers or a sweater, let’s say) and after I open a gift, he reminds me that I am not finished opening it. (He makes another layer with a “trap door” and usually there’s a DVD in there a framed photo of us or now, our daughter.) Cheesy? Perhaps. But I love it and I love him! <3
Jessica says
Gift Me!
Two years ago, my hubby got me a brand new pink Ipod Nano. He actually made a whole treasure hunt around our apartment with post-it notes and surprised me just because :)

GIFT ME!
I am always surprised whenever my husband gives me the, “Just because” flowers. Never on my birthday or a significant day. It just happens randomly…always unpredictable and I am always very touched <3
Abby G says
Gift me, please!
Surprising me is hard, but when I got back from traveling one time my friends/family threw me a big coming-home party… that I knew about, cuz a few of my friends blew it.

A few weeks ago I flew home from NY (to the Bay Area, CA) and my husband picked me up from the airport. I thought he would be in waiting at the “pick up curb” but as I was waiting for my baggage a tall handsome man appeared behind me with a huge bouquet of flowers. It was my husband! And he had a bottle of wine and some sushi at home in case I was hungry or thirsty! It was simple yet so very thoughtful!
Allison K. says
GIFT ME!
When my husband and I were dating, we went to the most expensive restaurant in our city to celebrate. I thought that was definitely my gift but no! He proceeded to surprise me with front row tickets to see my favorite piano player! He’s a keeper! :-)

One of the best surprise gifts I got was a few weeks after I had my daughter, Claire. My husband sent me the most beautiful bouquet of my favorite flowers. On the little card it said, “You have been the best wife, and now you’re a fantastic mom” It made me cry! It meant a lot seeing as he is not a very romantic guy!
Jana says
GIFT ME!
Love the flowers in the pictures! This last June I had surgery on my ear (repairing bones and eardrum) and my co-workers got together and sent me flowers. It was so thoughtful and I was totally surprised! (they’re not always the most organized :).
Viv says
GIFT ME!
I hubby brought home flowers when I was having a bad day.
Erin says
GIFT ME!
Many years ago, a member of the organization I worked for had a decadent package from Laura Mercier wrapped in a huge box and sent to my office from Saks as a thank you for working on a massive program with her. It was incredibly sweet and I felt like I was floating on air!
