I love flowers. I do. All kinds of flowers. Flowers make me smile even when the situation at hand doesn’t call for smiling. I love to photograph flowers. I love when my kids bring me flowers they have picked in the yard even though they’re just “weeds” to the rest of the world. I love flowers.
But sometimes Valentine’s Day rubs me the wrong way.
It’s probably because my eighth grade boyfriend (I use the word loosely as we never even kissed) broke up with me on Valentine’s Day. Classy! I had a boyfriend in college who tried to make a big deal out of the day but it still felt weird. FireDad and I usually find a book for the boys and might even send each other an e-card. But we’re kind of low key.
But who doesn’t like flowers?
As such, we’re trying to make Valentine’s Day special for you or someone in your life. We’ve partnered with FabulousSavings.com to give away a $100 gift card to 1-800Flowers. (A company which I got to learn more about at the Cheryl&Co blogger event and, honestly, I’m in love with the company as a whole now!) That’s right. $100 gift card. For you. Send them for Valentine’s Day to your sweetheart. Or to yourself so everyone in your office thinks you’re hot stuff. Or save them for your mom’s birthday. Or your own birthday. Or your grandparent’s anniversary. Or your anniversary. Maybe you could send them to your local Fire Department as a token of thanks for all the hard work they do to keep your community safe! In short: do what you want with it!
The hope is that whatever you do with it, maybe, just maybe, it will make your heart a little softer toward Valentine’s Day. The process of gifting someone else something as fun as flowers via this giveaway has softened my heart. A little. I might even buy FireDad a real card. Shocking! (And we’ll likely spend our Valentine’s Day like this.)

I love all the printable coupons. Our local papers never have any so the printables are the way to save for me!

I love the online coupons, always looking for ways to save! I have a couponaholic! @jillyrh
I like the accuracy of their search feature. Some of the competitors will show results with 10-20 coupons where most of them aren’t even valid.
I follow and tweeted!

I always check FS before making an online purchase. More often than not, they have some coupon or discount I didn’t know about.
I like the Nation wide search engine on Fabulous Savings. It helps me save money every where I travel
I’ve been using Fabulous Savings for about a year and I love all their coupons and the ability to print them.
