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!
Totally cheesy, but I was shocked on my 20th (yes, 20th!) birthday when my husband pulled out an engagement ring. One big yes, and six months later, we were hitched! Now we’re on our 6th baby!

GIFT ME.
I was having a bad day, so my hubby rushed home with flowers to cook me dinner, so I wouldn’t have to stress when I got home. He even had wine ready as well! What a guy. :)

GIFT ME!
a friend brought a replica of a vintage kitchen accessory that i admired at his home when he came to visit me in my new place. Since it was vintage and handmade, i never expected to find a similar object.

My husband is the king of giving flowers “just because” – usually accompanied by clean floors (for real!). But I also love it when he grabs a bag of Sour Patch Kids at the grocery store for me when he knows I’ve had a long work day. It’s the little things, for sure.
Carolyn says

My husband is great at surprising me with little things, especially when it’s been a hard day. Last night it was CHOCOLATE! =)
Pamela says
GIFT ME! My mom has always been a great surprise gift giver, for special occasions and randomly. I remember her showing up at my high school (boarding school) one day with the coolest pair of overalls – that I had been begging for (it was the late nineties, what can I say??)
amy says
GIFT ME! seriously, please. :-)
..for my 20th birthday, i got a beautiful flower arrangement from my cousin, who was/is bahrain on a tour of duty. It was the sweetest thing ever…especially because of the 8 hour time difference (not to mention her remembering my birthday)!

Aimee says
GIFT ME!
My fiance showed up at my house after work on a random week day and had two beautiful pink roses he picked from his garden. He doesn’t do surprises often so it definitely got me, but it was just a sweet gesture that showed he was thinking about me.

The best give a gave was myself to my daughter, just last month. She has been diagnosed with gall bladder cancer and still is having problems associated with that. On top of it she has a 9 month old son. That was my gift, seeing him for the first time!
If I recieved the gift I woud send her a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She was just readmitted to the hospital on Saturday. I think they would make her day!

“GIFT ME!!”
Probably the best present was for my 21st birthday. My, then boyfriend, said he really couldn’t afford to get my a whole lot, but wanted to take me on a picnic for my birthday, which I thought was great!! We go to the picnic, and he said he has a surprise, and pulls out an engagement ring!! We’ve been married for 3 1/2 years now and have an 11 mth old boy!! :) BEST present!! :)

Meg says
GIFT ME! My biggest surprise wasn’t so much a tangible gift. Last year, for my not-too-important 28th birthday, my fiance planned a huge surprise party at my parents’ house with tons of friends and family — it was the first time both of our families got to mingle and *whew* it worked out great!
