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! A friend surprised me with a bridal shower. My husband had schemed with her and I was under the impression we were going to breakfast at her house. When we were 45 mins late (as schemed) I felt so terrible. When the door opened I was almost in tears with my apology prepared and to my surprise there were 35 of my closest friends, co-workers, and mentors greeting me. I was so shocked I let out that cry that I was on the verge of upon entering!

GIFT ME! My husband was overseas in a remote area for my entire second trimester with my first pregnancy. Not only did he hide my b-day gift under the jetted bathtub through the little access door, but also hid gifts to mark each month of the pregnancy> I am a major gift snooper but I couldn’t find any of them without him guiding me during the very few phone calls we managed to connect!
And then I had a huge surprise for him….no baby belly when he left…huge baby belly when he returned!

The best surprise was being proposed to. I think my husband was just as surprised. He had been waiting for the right moment for a while and decided to do it while we were on a hike in a local state park. He didn’t have the ring but it was the perfect moment!
Angela says
GIFT ME! The best surprise gift I got was flowers for our first anniversary that were an exact replica of our centerpiece flowers!
Amanda A says
Gift Me!
Before my boyfriend and I started dating, he surprised me at work with a big box of painting supplies. I was surprised,embarrassed, and very flattered. Needless to say we started dating shortly after.

‘was surprised to see my “surprise Mother’s Day gift” drop on the floor when I pulled something out of my husband’s closet as I was cleaning it. :)

I was having a bad day and my hubby got home from the gym and I went outside to meet him only to find him with some Starbucks and roses for me!
Robyn in Chicago says
GIFT ME!
My husband made a book for me for my 30th bday titled “Why Robyn is Awesome”. In the book he had letters from all my closest friends and family saying why I was awesome. He bound the letters inside an “old timey” book and also burned the edges of the pages…soooo sweet.
Monique says
GIFT ME! My bf surprised me with a beautiful tea set and included a variety of tea samples.
Lindsey says
GIFT ME!
My fiance and I were living about 3 hours away while I was in school and working. He never came to visit me from September through June, but did send me flowers on our 5 year anniversary of our first date! How sweet :0) Totally took me by surprise!

My husband hand delivered a dozen long-stem roses to my work place. Totally unexpected and sweet.
Sylvia says
GIFT ME!
I had a really bad infection that put me out of commission for about 2 weeks. When I was well I was itching to go out. My husband surprised me by taking me to the new movie theatre in town. It has little tables in the theatre where you can eat and then you have huge comfy chairs to watch your movie. I was thoroughly surprised that he would take me to see Tangled – he doesn’t normally like animated movies!
Tracy says
Gift me!
The best little surprise is when I came home from the gym and my husband and 2 year old daughter made me milk and cookies.
Emily says
GIFT ME!
This past birthday I came home to a HUGE package on my doorstep, I had no idea what it was and when I opened it up inside (immediately after entering) it was a persimmon colored kitchen aide mixer! I’ve been craving one for forever and my boyfriend surprised me with it for my special day!
Julia H. says
GIFT ME! I love suprises…my husband recently pulled together a fun 30th birthday weekend for me! Yay!
Emily says
GIFT ME!!!
My sweet husband and I work at the same company. Since I have a sweet tooth, I frequently come to my desk and find a box of candy on my desk!
Devon says
GIFT ME! I like gift-giving more than gift-receiving, and I think I tend to block out memories of receiving because so often it’s a disappointment…so I’m going to use the old trick of answering the question I would prefer to be asked: What will you do with the gift card? I thought you’d never ask. As I’ve already placed orders for my grandmother’s and mother-in-law’s Christmas bouquets, I would use it to fill the house with flowers for the holidays, when my mom will be visiting. I’m a big fan of buying a bunch of flowers and stretching it into multiple bouquets (the house is currently sporting seven, made out of two $15 Costco bunches). Since they won’t last until the 25th, this would be perfect for restocking for Christmas.
Val says
GIFT ME!
The doors on my old LeBaron didn’t lock, so my husband used to sneak little things into the car while I was at work. Sometimes flowers, sometimes just a little candy bar. It was great to come out after a crummy day to find a sweet little ninja gift in the passenger seat.
Tracey says
GIFT ME
Best gift ever was when my hubby proposed on my birthday… TOTAL surprise for me!
JenS says
GIFT ME!
This year, we’d been scrimping a bit because we had just moved down to DC in March and still hadn’t sold our old house. But for my birthday, my sweet husband splurged on an iPad for me. I was so shocked and surprised! Best gift EVER!
Jessie M says
GIFT ME!
My birthday was recently and I had to work on it (I do trivia at a restaurant) and my sister and her friends came in to see me with a balloon which was a surprise in itself, but towards the end of my trivia all the waitresses came out singing to me with an ice cream cake! I was blown away, it was fabulous!
Jen says
Gift me!
My engagement ring was definitely a surprise!
Joanna says
GIFT ME!
Hmm, I guess my favorite gifts are the little notes and pictures that my kids stuff under my pillow to surprise me at bedtime. Those, and anytime someone surprises me with a coffee from Dunkin Donuts. It doesn’t happen often, but it really makes my day!
Jacqueline says
GIFT ME!!!
My boyfriend surprised me with a diamond journey necklace on our 7th date…i know my jaw dropped too!!! It had 7 diamonds which represented the 7 dates we had been on so far and since I was leaving to Mexico for work the following day he also wanted to say that he hoped my journey would bring me back to him soon. And it did, we’ve been married for almost a yr now :)

Gift me! It was the last day of the school year and one of my 2nd grade students gave me a little foil packet with instructions to open it later, in private. When I opened it, inside I found five perfect little sugar-snap peas with a note from my student explaining that he had grown them himself and they were the first of the season. So sweet!

GIFT ME! My husband bought me beautiful purple tulips on the day I earned my Master’s Degree. It was a complete surprise because it is one of 3 times he has delighted me with flowers in 8 yrs of marriage :)

Gift me!
My lovely surprise of a gift arrived at my office this week: red and white flowers in a candy-striped vase. My awesome husband sent them to me as an early Christmas present because he knows how much I love the holiday season!
Julieanne Pham says
GIFT ME!!!
My husband gets so excited about giving me presents. You see… he is terrible at being patient. He just can’t wait to give me the gift, so he gives it to me whenever he gets it.. and then usually buys me something else later on too. We decided to only spend $20 on each other for Christmas this year and I have already received a steam cleaner, a fire pit, and he is planning on also buying us Disneyland tickets. I am thinking that his $20 limit was up a long time ago. His inability to keep a surprise ends up with lots of little surprises all leading up to a holiday :)
Whitney says
GIFT ME!
One day I came home to find that my boyfriend had picked me up a slanket (the original snuggie) on a whim. this was before snuggies took over the world – and i had so much fun laughing to my friends about my blanket with sleeves…who would have thought they would ever catch on :)
Rachel says

One of the times I was truly surprised was my parents surprising me with a car for my 16th Birthday. I honestly didn’t think I was getting one! It will always be a vivid memory of mine.
Carrie says

While at a local department store last month, my hubby picked up a makeup item (that I was out of) for me; and surprised me by buying one of their SUPER fabulous gift sets, just because! He’s the best! :)

My darling daughter sent me flowers for HER twenty-first
birthday. Best surprise since the snowy Valentine’s Day when she was born. (Third child, first girl. Didn’t know
baby’s gender until she arrived. Lovely Valentine’s gift for all of us that year!)
Carrie D says
Gift Me (please). =)
DH surprised me last Christmas by buying me a pair of diamond earrings I had admired two years before when we didn’t have the money to splurge on them. He’d been carrying that salesperson’s card around in his wallet the whole time waiting until he had saved enough to buy them for me.
Rena says

Shaina says
GIFT ME!!!!
Oh my gosh … hands down, the biggest surprise of my life was when my husband proposed to me. I was not expecting it AT ALL, and my thoughts were so confused and jumbled when he opened that ring box that my first nonsensical thought was that it was a fake ring, just for fun. ??? That doesn’t even make sense.
Beatriz says
GIFT ME!
My favorite surprise gift was from my father a few months ago. He got me an iPad because he knew I wanted one so bad (so did he!) So I thought it was HIS iPad for about 20 minutes…not mine! I absolutely was thrilled and cannot thank him enough for it. TOTALLY DID NOT EXPECT THAT!!!
