Let’s Make This a Summer of Smiles; $50 Giftcard 1-800-FLOWERS

This summer has been miserably hot! But instead of letting it get us down, let’s make it a Summer of Smiles. 1-800-FLOWERS.com wants to help us spread smiles this summer. How you might ask? By sending flowers to friends.

Summer of Smiles

What is the first thing you do when you get flowers completely unexpected and for no particular reason? I bet you smile!:D

And when you open the box and find the flowers are from a friend, I’ll bet you smile again!

Every time you walk past those flowers and catch a whiff of the sweet aroma? I bet you smile!

You take a picture of the flowers so you can remember the joy. What do you do every time you see that picture? I bet you smile!

Flowers bring a smile to our faces not once, but again and again. 1-800-FLOWERS.com gave me the opportunity to send a Summer of Smiles bouquet to a friend. I sent my good friend, Cheryl this Handbag of Blooms bouquet to bring a smile to her face.

Now, whenever Cheryl looks at the handbag, she will remember the Summer of Smiles and smile!

1-800-FLOWERS.com is offering one (1) $50 giftcard to one of my readers to spread the “Summer of Smiles” joy.

To enter, tell me in the comments below what kind of flower is your favorite and why. For example, I love pansies because my grandmother used to spend hours taking care of her pansies in her garden. Whenever I see pansies, I think of my grandmother and it makes me happy.

The giveaway ends on Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 11pm ET. I will randomly pick one name. You will have 24 hours to respond or I will choose another winner.

disclosure: In exchange for this post, I was given a $50 credit to send flowers to a person of my choice. I received no money compensation. All opinions are my own.
