Valentine's Giveaway with 1800-Flowers! (24 hours contest!!)

Looking for the perfect gift for your loved one? Flowers die, chocolates get eaten, but a cherihed memory lasts forever. Give your significant other something to remember-the Celebrating Love book by Jim McCann.  For only $9.99 you get a beautiful book sure to inspire love all year round! Celebrating love is a collection of love stories that expresses the beauty of love, and reminds us to "share, remember and cherish" that special bond!

Product Description:
Celebrating Love follows Celebrating Mom in a new gift series from 1-800-flowers.com and celebrations.com founder Jim McCann.

Reinforcing the 1-800-flowers.com and celebrations.com philosophy of helping customers express, connect, and celebrate, McCann balances the practical with the inspirational, and the poignant with the profound, inside this collection of authentic love stories. Full-color drawings illustrate the book throughout and are interspersed with meaningful quotes and little-known facts about love and affection. Divided into four sections based on the distinct seasons of love, Celebrating Love features 150 entries, including:

* Spring: "Love that is not madness is not love." --Pedro Calderon de la Barca

* Summer: Meeting you was fate. Becoming your friend was a choice. Falling in love with you was beyond my control. Becoming your wife was my fairy tale come true.

* Fall: The Geography of Love

* The oldest love song in existence, whose origin is from somewhere between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was written 4,000 years ago.

* Nevada issues 120,000 marriage licenses a year.

* Winter: I love you, my forgetful wife. Who knew that love not only lasts longer than memory, but that it continues to grow?

I love this book! First off, it is beautiful! Pink is my favorite color, but beyond that I love the illustrations inside and  is full of wonderful stories, inspirational quotes and lots of love! This book is a great gift for Valentine's, but I believe in celebrating love all year round!  Valentine's day is so commercial, we come to expect lavish gifts and frivolous things. I appreciate the gifts that I get on a regular day FAR more than on Valentine's day! This book helps to remind me that love is important 365 days of the year!

In addition, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is hosting a special Valentines Day "Love Note" Contest! This  contest encourages 1-800-FLOWERS.COM fans to post their own love notes, and cast their vote for the most touching love note on the 1-800-FLOWERS.COM Facebook page. The love note voted the most touching will win a bouquet, courtesy of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM!  Click here to enter! (Today is the last day to enter!! Tomorrow is the last drawing!!!)
