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…

I was surprised by a sweet, heartfelt thank you card by my boyfriend (he’s my husband now!) after helping him build a wood deck on the back of his house several years ago. He wrote, “I just wanted to thank you for helping me when it was obvious you weren’t very excited” … LOL! … “It meant a lot to me.” He’s not the type to write heartfelt messages very often – it was a special moment.

GIFT ME!!! One of my best surprises ever was a sort of ‘pre-posal’ by my husband. He has a family friend that is a jeweler and took me to his shop one day after closing. The jeweler laid out all his rings and told me to pick one and not to worry about price because he would get my husband what i wanted. My husband picked out his favorite ring (I didn’t which one it was) and it happened to be mine too! He proposed a month later! It was amazing!!!

Gift me! I need to give some holiday cheer!

Gift me! It started a couple years ago…I was having a rough day at work (I am
an RN) and my hubby sent me a text message containing the sweetest poem, that totally changed my outlook of the day. Since then, he will surprise me with these little love notes. They are the best…thoughtful and cost nothing at all, but brighten my day!

Yay, GIFT ME! I was surprised by flowers from a friend after I had rescued his broken self on the mountain in the middle of our ski trip and then carted him to the local hospital for emergency surgery. Pretty sure I was supposed to be the one giving flowers since he was in the hospital!

My sister sends me random care packages throughout the year and I just recieved one tonight; included in it – fantastic hand-me-downs for our kiddos from hers, new shoes for them, along with a brand new outfit for me too. She’s amazingly generous & has such a thoughtful heart. Hands down, the best sister ever!!

I have been given a couple surprise bouqets here and there. None lately though…I should tell my hubby to get on that!
But I absolutely LOVE that first picture, with the green ornaments! It makes me wish I could get married again, in December this time, just so I could carry a bouquet like that!

GIFT ME! I love surprises! After my second baby my husband surprised me by making me my morning cup of coffee after a LOOONG night. Now he does it every morning and it’s such a great start to the day.
Jamie says
Gift Me……Please! (I’m in the south so you must say please)
During college my boyfriend and eventual husband surprised me by placing a rose in my car attached to a picture for each year that we had dated. He did this 6 times for 6 years and put it in my car when I was all over town in different parking places and stores. I was quite impressed! He had asked my parents for all the pictures.

GIFT ME!!!
When I first started dating my fiance, I ended up getting a terrible sick bug one week (one of the disadvantages to working with kids…). After a long day at work, I got home to find him in the lobby of my apt building with flowers and a box of tissues. It was exactly what I needed and the sweetest thing ever!
Allison says
GIFT ME!!
The gift of my engagement was a COMPLETE surprise! It was the day after my husband took the bar exam, so I was shocked that he even had the time to plan such an important event!
Charlotte says
Gift me! A few days before my sixteenth birthday I came home from school to find a seafoam green Geo hatchback in the driveway under a big red bow. I was thrilled!!!
Michelle Lynne says
GIFT ME! Please & thank you. :O)
My husband surprised me with a 40th birthday party and flew in family I hadn’t seen in AGES. I think I laughed & cried happy tears for the first hour of the party!

I was surprised by a painting my sister painted me of my goldendoodle.
Julie says
Gift me, please!!
Though not technically a gift per se, I was totally surprised by my engagement ring from my hubby. He had been crying poor so I figured the big question was still months away, when he totally knocked my socks off my proposing on the beach during our vacation. One of the best moments of my life!
Rebecca Melton says

The most beautiful flowers I have ever received were calla lilies that my “then boyfriend” (not husband) randomly sent me one day!

gift me!
my (then) boyfriend was working in a rural area of Guatemala w/o phone service for six months, so when he called me to wish me a happy birthday, I was completely floored. He had traveled over three hours by boat and car to get to the nearest phone. Needless to say we’re married now : )
Marti says
Gift me! I was surprised with a train set from my new husband for Christmas many years ago. It was so great that I didn’t have to get a girly present but could have something so fun!
Sherry F. says
GIFT ME!
The best surprise gift I ever got was when my husband surprised me for dinner on my birthday by making me delicious indian food, which is one of my fav cuisines. He made butter chicken from scratch and it was delectable.

GIFT ME!
my roommate in college and i would surprise each other with little gifts all the time for no reason at all. whether it was a cookie from the cafeteria or a little goofy gift at the dollar store, it was always fun to come “home” to a little surprise and a note on your desk

GIFT ME! I was surprised with a ring when my fiance proposed! :)

GIFT ME!
A friend actually didn’t have time to grab a gift on the way to my surprise sushi night with girlfriends (!!!) and she dropped off the most BEAUTIFUL lilies 2 weeks after my birthday! It was so fun to get a gift after all of the birthday hoopla was fading! I think I will be late giving all my frineds their b-day gifts from now on!

GIFT ME!
Last year, I really wanted a nook for Christmas. I opened all of my gifts and was a bit bummed I didn’t get one (of course, thinking that my boyfriend just hadn’t been listening to my requests!). Christmas Day, we met his parents to drive to a family gathering a few hours away. We walked out to the car and there was an envelope taped to my window. I opened it to find that I would be receiving my nook in the next month! The nook was backordered and that was the best he could do to show me my gift. I was totally surprised!
Lauren says
Gift me! I was surprised by a bouquet of flowers from my husband when I passed the bar.

One un-special day I came home to find a sweet card and my favorite candy from my husband. It was completely unexpected and adorable.

“GIFT ME!”
Lindsay Osborne says
Gift me! A couple of years ago, my then-boyfriend who lived in Brazil arranged to have flowers sent to me in the States. He enlisted the help of my best friend and boy was I surprised!
Molly T says
GIFT ME!
After a hard day at work (and venting to my then-boyfriend) I got in the shower when I heard someone come in the bathroom- I peeked around the shower curtain and there was my man with a ring asking me to be his wife. He had planned a big fancy proposal but after hearing about my bad day he said he couldn’t wait. It was a great surprise and my then boyfriend became my fiancé who is now my husband. :) I don’t think too many people get a marriage proposal in the shower- a great surprise. :)
Pamela says
GIFT ME!
My favorite surprise gift is when my husband beats me home from work and cleans up all the little messes around the house so I can walk into a neat and tidy home after my long day. I try to always keep it in mind that its a nice surprise and to never take advantage of it because I know he does it as a gesture every time. :)

GIFT ME!
The best surprise gift I ever got was when a group of my friends threw me a surprise party for my 21st birthday, because they knew no one had ever thrown me a surprise party before. The surprise actually got ruined about 30 minutes before I got there, but I still had an amazing time and was totally thrilled about the thought and effort that went into the party.
Suzanne Lowe says

GIFT ME!
For Valentines day a couple years ago, my husband created a website where he made a slideshow with all our pictures together and my favorite song playing. It blew me away.
