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

The best surprise I’ve gotten was when my now-husband proposed. :-) I thought it was just a normal date-night—boy was I wrong! :-)

GIFT ME!
I was shopping with my mom one day and came across a sweater at Banana Republic that I loved. However, that day I was shopping for something specific and I didn’t want to spend my money on something else. Then a few months later my mom completely surprised me by giving me the sweater for my birthday! It is still one of my favorite sweaters to wear!

GIFT ME!
My fiance doesn’t really buy me flowers even though I love them. So when a male coworker of mine bought me a beautiful arrangement as a “thank you” for helping him with a project he was so jealous!!! Probably didn’t help that I txt’d him a pic of the flowers haha!

When my husband and I were first dating, he gave me the best surprise i’ve ever had for our first valentines day. At the time, I lived upstairs in a small house so i had my own door that went up to my room. I got home from class and was going to unload my books up in my room and when i opened the door, hundreds of pink and white balloons fell on top of me and flooded out into the dining room. It was so beautiful!

GIFT ME!
I think the only time I’ve truly been surprised was when my dad brought home a Super Nintendo. Until that point, my parents were adamantly anti-video games. And he brought it home just one school night – no special occasion and no warning whatsoever. Bizarre.

For our first Valentine’s Day together my husband (then boyfriend) bought me socks. Yes… socks. A couple weeks before then we had a conversation about how I hate buying myself socks because they’re so boring and I would much rather buy fun things (like makeup!, etc.) I probably also complained about not having enough socks. Well, after a romantic dinner complete with champagne and flowers he surprised me with a small wrapped box… containing socks. It was hilarious and actually really thoughtful. :-)

GIFT ME!! PLZ : )
jmje says
GIFT ME! Like 6 years ago I got flowers at work from a guy who I was not dating (and wanted to just be friends with). It was suprising and embarassing because people kept coming up and saying “oh I didn’t know you had a boyfriend” and I was like, “I don’t”.

My husband surprised me with DVDs he’d created from my mom’s old VHS tapes of the Christmas cartoon classics – Charlie Brown’s Christmas, Rudolph, Frosty, Garfield’s Christmas, etc – she’d recorded from TV. Best present ever.

One of my favorite surprises was when my girlfriend (now my wife), came to visit, and I had no idea she was coming! I was going to be in the Christmas program that evening, and she drove 1 1/2 hrs. to be there for me. :-D
Chelsea says
GIFT ME!!
My husband (then boyfriend) came home for a weekend from college (8 hour trip). I had to work the day he had to leave and he surprised me by showing up with roses and candy. It also helped that the next day was Valentine’s day.

The best surprise I ever received was a bottleof sparkling strawberry cider, a money tree, my favorite candy bar, and a sweet card from my boyfriend when I was having a really bad day!

“GIFT ME!”
My husband is in the military, and when we were dating he was on a very rigorous travel schedule – a week at home and a week away (different places every time). He’d sometimes pick up little odds and ends for me (got me hooked on Mauna Loa nuts!), but the gift that made me squeal the loudest was an iPod Mini.
Ashley P says
GIFT ME!
My husband bought me tickets to see Wicked in Chicago one Christmas. He knew about my love for the books and that I wanted to see the show, but I didn’t think we could go because it was too expensive. Needless to say I was surprised when he told me he got us wonderful balcony tickets! It was the best show I’ve ever seen, as well as my best Christmas.
Leslie Ann says
GIFT ME!
I was surprised on my birthday with an “edible arrangement” from my boyfriend. I was out of state in a hotel at the time, and that’s what made it so unexpected!
Amber says
GIFT ME!
My husband bought me a beautiful necklace for my birthday this year even though we don’t give each other b-day gifts. Total surprise!
Jennifer Gessner says
GIFT ME! My most unexpected gift was when I was 17 and my parents surprised me with a car for Christmas. I definitely didn’t it coming, but it was great surprise! :)
Kelly says
GIFT ME!
My husband surprised me last year with an ultrasound jewelery cleaner followed by an engagement ring! It was quite a surprise!
Lauren says
GIFT ME!!
The first Valentine’s Day with my now husband he surprised me a lot! We were only dating for about 6 weeks. He sent me flowers at home which were beautiful. Then took me to a really nice dinner and a movie. He also surprised me with chocolates and a book (bonus points because it was one I never read and I am a Librarian!)
Holly says
Gift me!
I can’t think of any surprise gifts…but I always tend to be satisfied with what I get for Christmas and birthdays!

An amazing vintage locket for my very first mother’s day.

I’m usually ridiculously hard to surprise. But somehow my roommate freshman year of college managed to pull it off- she planned an entire surprise party without me knowing! =)

Megan M says
GIFT ME!
Sadly, I don’t think I’ve ever been surprised with flowers from a guy. My mom has sent me some surprise bouquets, though!
Julie Ryan says
GIFT ME!
The best surprise gift was one on a Tuesday. My boyfriend has written a beautiful 20 page book about our first date and how he knew I was the one. He had it professionally printed and bound and gave it to me with a dozen red roses. Yep, he’s now my husband.
Tricia says
Gift Me! My boyfriend NEVER suprises me with gifts….so I was really touched when I came home to a freshly cleaned house, dinner on the table and flowers in a plastic cup (he couldn’t find a vase).
Katie says
“GIFT ME!” My hubby’s not really the gift-giving type, but he constantly surprises me with sweet gestures. I’d much rather have a sweet gesture than a tangible gift any day.
Brooke W. says
Gift Me!!
My jr. high boyfriend saved his money and bought me a ring with a heart on it. I still have it.
Birdie says
GIFT ME! My best surprise was an anniversary gift when my husband was deployed last year, he sent me a beautiful vase from Syria and I treasure it so!
Katie says
GIFT ME!!! And last Sunday, I got the best surprise gift…an engagement ring! And it wasn’t even my birthday :)
Amelia from Flux Capacitating says
Gift Me! I know that it’s cheesy (and I haven’t looked, but I’m sure at least another 100 peeps have already said this…) but my engagement ring was definitely my favorite surprise gift! Well ok…that or our son! :)
Kelsey D says
GIFT ME!
My best suprise gifts were given the Christmas of our engagement. We got engaged three days before Christmas and that was a big surprise, but when he had another big gift under the tree on Christmas eve..I was excited to not only have my beautiful ring to show off, but my first designer purse as well!
Clare says

My husband surprises me regularly by picking up a book that he thinks I’ll enjoy.
Robin says
GIFT ME!
I was really surprised last Christmas when my parents gave me and my husband money to put towards a vacation! That was a great gift and a great vacation!
HeatherK says
The best surprise gift i ever got was when I was in fourth grade. I had just switched schools and it was my birthday. My teacher from my old school remembered (because it was also her birthday!) and sent me a card at my new school! The next year she was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away. I still hold onto that card as a testament to what a caring, loving teacher she was and how special she made me feel!
Melissa G says
Gift me!!!
Brigid says
GIFT ME! A friend of mine had gone home to India and Sri Lanka for vacation and brought me back a silk scarf – totally unexpected, and beautiful!

Jessica F says
GIFT ME!
My favorite surprise was in my first year of college when my boyfriend (now husband) brought me a huge bunch of balloons to me on my bday. He remembered me telling him that I never got to get balloons at school because of my summer bday. So now that I was in college and taking summer classes, he brought me a ton of balloons and as I walked down the halls, everyone KNEW it was my birthday! It was a little more embarrassing than it probably would have been in high school but I just thought it was so sweet of him to think of that :-)
Holly says
GIFT ME!
Before we were married my hubby surprised with a beautiful arrangement of flowers to go on the dining room table before having people over for dinner. He even took the table runner to the florist and got them to match it! :)
Claudia says
GIFT ME!
We’d been dating for 3 weeks and he was going to Disneyland for 3 days with friends, all planned long before he met me, and I couldn’t take time off from work, so he brought me 3 red roses, one for each day he would be gone.

“GIFT ME!”
…most surprise gift was an old boyfriend who had arranged with my boss for me to take a surprise three-day weekend and took me out of town.
