1-800-Flowers giveaway! Who needs husbands?
Mother Nature Garden Tote
Usually, the only thing I have to give away on this blog is advice, blah-blah and gratuitous photos of my kids. (Once, I did offer up my mother-in-law, but oddly enough I didn't get any takers). Recently, though, a nice lady from 1-800-Flowers e-mailed me and offered to do a bouquet giveaway. Because we're all that fabulous.
Mother's Embrace
OK, so the company does have some new stuff it would like you to know about. It just launched The Spot A Mom movement, to celebrate the many varieties of moms out there. They also have a fun guide for figuring out which kind of flowers suit different moms' personalities.
Mother's Devotion
To enter to win, just leave a comment and be sure to mention which one of these four arrangements you covet (Aussies and Brits, jump in, they can send flowers pretty much anywhere). I'll randomly pick a winner, courtesy of random.org, on Sunday at midnight and announce the winner on Monday. You'll get the bouquet on or before Mother's Day. And, if you'd like, I can ask if they'll sign the card "xoxoxo, Lorenzo" or something if you'd like to make the hubs a little jealous.
Sentimental Surprise
Nice giveaway! I never get cut flowers, my husband thinks it is a waste since they are just going to die. I love Mother's Embrace. That arrangement reminds me a lot of the flowers in my wedding bouquet.
ReplyDeleteThe Mother Nature Tote is beautiful. Signing the card "Lorenzo" would be genious!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Mother Nature Tote...enter me, and remember...make it pick my name!
ReplyDeleteI NEED the Mother Nature Tote -- I think Amelia's extension, venting and nebulizer tubing would look really cool in it! Thanks for the fun offering!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific weekend -- 80's baby, 80's (not the decade, the temperatures -- although the decade did have some special music and clothes!)
Oh wow I love flowers!I like the sentimental ones best - forgot the whole title.Im excited now!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others - the Mother Nature Tote is too cute! Signing the card as Lorenzo - hah! I love it! Fabio would work, too. =)
ReplyDeleteI love the Mother Nature tote but personally I would pick a common name to write on the card like hmmmm Tom or something... That would really make my huspand wonder. By the way I love your blog I check on it everyday. I started a blog but I only got one page on it...haha to busy and I would rather just read everyone else's. I have so fallen in love with your children just so you know.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature Tote is pretty! I never get flowers...and Mother's Day is my birthday...
ReplyDeleteOooooooooo......how fun!!! I like Mother's Devotion!! And could you please sign the card, "Dear Kate...I'm sorry I was lame and practically forgot your birthday. I hope these free flowers begin to make up for it. The diamond tennis bracelet is on it's way. Love, your husband."
ReplyDeleteThat oughta do it. ;-)
Oh wow, they're all really nice. I think my favorite is the Mother Nature Tote.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
Look at you being all review/giveaway blogger and such! LOL I like the switch now I can enter a giveaway at your site for a change. I love the Mother's Devotion. It is girgeous...and thanks for the opportunity Ellen

ReplyDeleteOh I like the garden tote, and could use that in my herb garden!! Just sign my card ~ Love Brad (I left Angie 4 U....see ya in a week) :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Garden Tote. Neat idea for the time of year.
ReplyDeleteI like the Mother's Embrace. But since I'm not a mom yet...I think I would like to have them sent to my mom if I get picked.
ReplyDeleteHey Ellen, you are now infamous. 1-800-flowers contacted you. Consider yourself/your blog officially a BIG DEAL. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI would go for the Mothers Embrace - I love lilies.
You are so nice to do this. Tell the flower folk you deserve a bouquet of your choice for arranging all this. ;-)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I like Mother's Embrace!
ReplyDeleteAnd "kate" - love the note you want attached to your flowers!
HOoray for giveaways! Why doesn't anyone ever ask me to give stuff away? Hmmmm. . .
ReplyDeleteMy favorite it Mother's Devotion even though that's kind of a cheesy name.
Great giveaway!! I too would have to say my favourite is the Mother Nature Tote. My card could be signed "Your favourite neighbourhood pharmacist"!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!! I love the Mother Nature Tote--just starting my first garden and could use the tote. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWow! Great giveaway! I like the Garden Tote one the best. They are all very pretty though.
ReplyDeleteI covet the 'Mother's Embrace"
ReplyDeleteAnd sign mine from Jack Bauer. THAT would make the husband jealous. ;)
Sentimental Surprise for me! Thanks for the offer and for sharing your experiences. You're an amazing mom.
ReplyDeleteI like the Mother Nature Tote cause of the roses.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway!
No need for Lorenzo here. Really make the hubs off his rocker & sign them from you! LOLZ
Hi - I just found your blog via 'N0thing but everythings' blog and wanted to say thanks for the "I heart someone with cerebral palsy" button - I have grabbed one for my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe 'mother nature garden tote' looks like a winner to me.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to get anything for mothers day I'd just like it signed from my 2 beautiful boys. Their dad doesn't quite get the idea that he could take them out to get me a little something for mother's day - he says I'll just need to wait until they are old enough to get me any mother's day gift ;-).
WOW what a nice giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAne who wouldn't like to get flowers from "Lorenzo"?
My favorite is the sentimental mother but all of the flowers are beautiful.
I love mother's devotion. Thanks for doing this, and keeping up a great blog. I enjoy checking in daily!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! I would love "Lorenzo" to send me the Mother's Embrace!
