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!

I was surprised when I got a new camera!! Our old one had died and that doesn’t jive so well when you have little children!
Jacqui says
At our rehearsal dinner, my wonderful maid of honor made us a dvd collage with my childhood pictures, then my fiance’s, then pictures of us together, set to music. It was unexpected, so sentimental, and just amazing. We still watch it every once in a while.

On the day we moved into our first VERY OWN house, my husband went back to our rental to pick up “another load of boxes.” Imagine my surprise when he came back with the dining room table/chairs set I’d been eyeing at our local furniture store!

GIFT ME!
When I was in college, my parents sent me flowers for my 21st birthday. It was the first time I’d ever had flowers delivered and I discovered that they were mine quite by accident. All deliveries come to a central receptionist’s office at my college campus and I was coming out of class when I noticed some pretty flowers on the receptionist’s desk. I walked over and smelled them, then glanced at the card to see who the lucky recipient was and saw my name! It was such a wonderful surprise!
Krysten says
GIFT ME!
The best surprise gift I ever received was my engagement ring. Coming home exhausted from a long day of classes in hot, unconditioned classrooms and I’m greeted with flowers and a gorgeous sapphire ring. My hubby did well =-)
Michelle says

My mom brought me a cute basil plant for my kitchen one day because she knows I love to cook with the herb all the time! It was so sweet of her :)

My husband is great at surprising me with flowers. He always picks the most beautiful roses & ((SCORE)) he usually finds them on the cheap from Costco. So I don’t even feel guilty like he spent $100 on me or something!

My most surprising gift was on Valentine’s Day. I thought maybe I would be getting something late in the day, but first thing when we woke up, my boyfriend came out of the bathroom and had a bouquet of flowers in his hand! He kept them in the bathtub in a water pitcher because he knew I’d never look there!
Tracey @ TropicalHappiness says
Gift me! I recently received flowers as a thank you after throwing someone a surprise party… I loved it!

Betsy says
Gift Me!
Best surprise gift ever was about 12 years ago, before we were married, and living in different cities, about 4 hours apart. My boyfriend (now husband) called to check in with me on Christmas Eve, telling me again how sorry he was that he wouldn’t see me for Christmas. But he told me that he had a gift delivered to the front porch for me. So I went out to check – lo and behold, there he was, standing on the porch!
I still can’t believe he kept it a secret so long!
Stephanie says
GIFT ME!
A huge bouquet was sent to me at work on Christmas Eve and it made my entire day! I was so happy!

Karlie Badger says
I am a florist out here in Utah. So flowers for myself are rare. But my husband surprised me with some simple beautiful purple hyacinths one day. I will never forget them.
Katie Stack says
GIFT ME :)
The one time I was most surprised by a gift was when I was a little girl and my dad came home with a 3 story colonial doll house for my sister and I. It was not christmas nor a birthday but a just because gift. We cherished the doll house and it kept up occupied for hours.

erica says
GIFT ME!
my bf pretended that he forgot our anniversary, so i figured we didn’t have any plans…i get home from work, and he tells me to put my laundry away (which isn’t out of the norm because he’s super anal and clean and i’m on the lazier side) so i’m all huffy putting away the laundry and i find a brand new dress at the bottom of the pile to wear to dinner that night. HE REMEMBERED! =)
jen says
Gift me! My husband likes to bring me a piece of cake home from a local bakery just because he knows I love it!

Morgan Birkett says
GIFT ME!! I was surprised when I had my eye on a new cell phone. My boyfriend wrapped it up in several large boxes so I wouldn’t know what it was until I finally got to the very last box!
Kellie says
Gift me!
My hubby used to drive to work so I got flowers
nearly every week. Now, he takes the train so I rarely get
flowers anymore. Boo-hoo.

My favorite surprise present was a puppy when I was little. We thought we were going to pick something up for my dad for work, but instead, we were picking up our puppy.
Evan says

My favorite surprise present was a ipod that came at the end of what I thought to have been an uneventful Christmas.
Cynda says
Gift me!
I moved from Oklahoma to California for a year, and was pretty homesick. On my birthday 2 dozen tulips were delivered to me at work from an Aunt and Uncle that do not usually get me anything for a birthday! They must have just known that I needed it!
Anna says
GIFT ME!

my husband woke me up one morning and took me to the livingroom where a new recliner was waiting. not sure where he had been hiding it, but i was definitely surprised!
Rebecca says
GIFT ME!!
My husband is not big on surprises – poor me! :) He’d rather take me to dinner somewhere than spend money on flowers. I guess there are worse things! So a gift card for an amazing arrangement like those pictures, woohooo!
Sarah says
Gift me! I love the flower arrangements in the pictures.
Kristin says

It’s the little thoughtful gifts that my husband gets me that mean the most. For example, after I found out we were expecting, I came home to find that he had gone out to buy me some pregnancy magazines.

“GIFT ME!!” I was recently surprised when a friend of mine gave me a gift of a snazzy new bag filled with some of her old pregnancy stuff! Woohoo for not having to spend money on useful things…it was really thoughtful of her.

On Saturday, my husband surprised me with an early Christmas gift eventhough it was actually his birthday!
Lara says
GIFT ME! The best gift happened just last night – and it was the gift of time – my boyfriend put up all the outside Christmas decorations (Lights!) by himself in the bitter cold (high of 32 with gusty winds) just so I would drive up to a “holiday house”. Second best gift – two years ago when he purchased 12 Christmas cacti so I would have a unique holiday floral display.

My friend Jen knitted a baby blanket for my unborn little girl! She actually made 2 – one when I thought the nursery would be green, and another when I changed my mind to pale pink. It’s so soft and gorgeous!

Exactly one month before our wedding my husband brought me a huge bunch of flowers and took me out for a nice dinner as a thank you for all the work I had done planning the wedding. It was over 5 years ago but is still one of my favorite memories – so unexpected!
Kinsey says
Gift Me!
I was having a particularly rough day at work. I was complaining to my husband on the phone (not thinking that he was really listening). About an hour or so later, a beautiful bouquet of flowers arrived for me. It made my day so much brighter!
Kaitlin says

My husbands proposal was the best suprise gift ever. We had just finished our Junior year of college, and he wanted to take me out for a fun day. I thought we were going to fly kites when we got to our favorite park. He told me to go sit on the bench and he would be over with my suprise. He unveiled a dozen of my favorite roses, with my beautiful diamond engagement ring attached to the card. I was so suprised and had no idea it was coming!
angie says
GIFT ME!
there have been many, but a recent fun one was when my husband came home with a garlic press, just b/c he heard me mention needing one the night before while cooking. it’s the little things.

I was shocked on Christmas morning as a little girl when I walked into the living room and there was a full-sized drafting table set up for me! I was always told I was too young/small to have one, but I guess they were just making sure I’d be surprised.
