Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and I figured that as fellow book addicts you’d appreciate an Amazon.com gift certificate giveaway a lot more than flowers or chocolates. Am I right? Also, it’s been a couple of months since Rabid Reads’ last blog sponsored contest, and ’tis the season for love, so I saw the Romance is in the Air Giveaway Hop hosted by I Am A Reader as the perfect opportunity to show my thanks for all of your lovely comments, tweets, likes, etc. BIG HUGS, and good luck!! π

Not a flower fan, and as much as I love my chocolate I would take an amazon.com gift card over that any day! π

I prefer chocolate. But Amazon GC’s works too. From my hubby- I like to go to dinner kid free!
I don’t ever get flowers or chocolate. I much prefer Amazon GCs, but I usually don’t get those either. π

Oh that’s a rough question. I’d probably say Amazon GC because I have so much chocolate right now that I can’t eat it before the expiration date hits (I know, such a first world problem).
Uh their is no question, gift card. I never was one for chocolate unless it’s chocolate covered strawberries then I might reconsider. ^_^

I prefer Amazon gift cards. Thank you for the giveaway! π
You know your followers well, I would always prefer amazon GC to flowers (chocolate/GC is 50/50 lol). Thanks for this giveaway!
I definitely prefer amazon gift-cards, hands down, no competition whatsoever π

Amazon gift cards are the correct gift for me no matter what the occasion. A guy ever proposes to me–he will stand a better chance with “Will you Marry Me? I promise to celebrate every gift guying occasion with Amazon GiftCards or Wine (both if it will get a yes)”

Amazon gift card for sure. I dont eat chocolate as I used to, but I buy way more books than I have time to read them all.
If you read the first entry that goes like this: “Nikolina _V” or something messed up like that, that would be me :D, my finger slipped to enter instead of backspace and in this new raffle form its not possible to edit answers… Thank you! π
Some Cellas and an amazon gift card would be an amazing gift π
Always Amazon Gift Cards!
Amazon gift cards would be #1 definitely but a little chocolate thrown in doesn’t hurt either!
Gift cards for me!
I prefer amazon gift cards π
I do love chocolate, but I think I prefer an Amazon giftcard. That’s where I buy all of my books, so it is kind of the gift that keeps on giving. Whereas, when chocolate is eaten – it’s gone. Forever and ever.
CHOCO! I do like flowers but my cat eats them

gift cards and flowers =)
Love gift cards so i can spend on my fiance.
While they are all wonderful in their way, Amazon gift cards lead to the longest enjoyment, as they (after turning them into books, of course) can be consumed over and over.
I’d like chocolate or Amazon gift cards π

Ok. Let’s try this comment again since the blog crashed on me the 1st time. :/
Chocolate covered gift card!
Well, I love chocolate, but I also love amazon so its a tie! I am not a fan of cut flowers, so definitely not flowers π
Okay, will try again…not sure if I commented or not as the site crashed when I tried to hit submit… I don’t like cut flowers, so its a toss up between chocolate and amazon. probably depends on my level of chocolate craving that day.
In order, because I love all three, Amazon GC, chocolates, flowers.
If I got to choose between those, I would pick the gift card, I guess, or the flowers!
Amazon gift cards for sure. I don’t need chocolate, and flowers die π Actually I have never been a fan of the ordinary and prefer to be surprised. Thank you for the chance
I prefer Amazon gift cards π
amazon all the way. Wait… I can order chocolate there, right?
i like Amazon gift cards
amazon gift cards!!
Chocolate from my husband. Amazon Giftcards from anybody else!
I always let my DH know an Amazon GC is always welcome!
I have never received giftcards…sooo, gift card. =)
Definitely Amazon GC’s.. Thanks for the giveaway chance.

Obviously gift cards. I can’t eat chocolate and flowers are nice, but it’s sad how quickly they wilt. Thanks for the giveaway! π
Molly Mortensen recently posted…Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch
I’d have to say the Amazon gift card. Because for me that equal a BOOK SHOPPING SPREE! Yes, Amazon sells more than books, but when someone said you could buy something other than books, I looked at them and was like why would I do that?! I mean seriously, if I have an Amazon gift card and decide I want to buy a movie, I pay on my credit card! LOL! A gift card for somewhere that sells books is a bookish gift card for me!
Though flowers and chocolates are nice too! But I’m picky with chocolate! No mixed boxes for me! My future bf just needs to know to buy that Reese’s peanut butter cup box of chocolates if he’s buying those! LOL!

Amazon GCs:)
Amazon Gift Cards
Gift cards! Show me your love by giving me books!
Depends on the giver. If it’s a relative or someone I don’t really know (like a giveaway host), then Amazon GCs. I can buy all the books I want that way. Someone else, I prefer flowers over chocolate usually. I’m allergic to chocolate, but it’s so tasty that I cave and eat it anyway. Better to not tempt me π
Amazon gift cards are best for me! I can pick my faves from my ongoing list!
I prefer Amazon Gift Cards!!
Amazon Gift cards baby! π

Amazon gift cards.
Hard choice between chocolate and the gift card, but I guess I’m in a need of the GC more π
I like Amazon gift cards *and* chocolate!
Flowers die and I only like certain chocolates, so I destroy half the box looking for the centers I’ll eat. Give me an Amazon gift card any day!
Can’t I have all 3? lol. I love chocolate, but will buy that myself, and my son loves to make my husband buy me flowers, so I’ll go with an Amazon gift card.
Sarah recently posted…Book vs Movie: Gone Girl

thank you a lot for this very generous giveaway ( sorry if i haven’t commented in a while but my computer crashed and i just got it back^^;; i will try to get back on track soon)
miki recently posted…Treasures and Finds+ January recap
amazon gc so i can buy books.
Give me chocolate or Amazon gift cards any day Carmel! I’m not a big fan of flowers; while pretty, they die too fast for me to really appreciate them. Chocolate goes away pretty quickly too when in close proximity to me, but I enjoy it so much more than flowers;-)
Definitely Gift Cards. Hahaha.
I do enjoy dark chocolate, but my first choice would be a gift card! π A man who got me that would probably be the perfect man.

An Amazon Gift Card of course! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
I prefer amazon gift cards, I already have a huge supply of chocolate and flowers seem to wilt way too soon.
An Amazon GC will always be met with a smile…and possibly a hug. π Chocolate comes in a close second. I’m not a fan of flowers though. Something my hubs has always happy about. *ha* Thanks for the giveaway, Carmel!

Amazon gift cards all the way! Although I do love vegan chocolate.
Definitely Amazon gift cards! Chocolate is second though. Who needs flowers?? Gimme books! π
Sadly is would have to be the less thoughtful one, the Amazon gift. Happy Almost Valentine’s Day!!
I think I would prefer a GC because then I could buy both books and chocolate.
definitely Amazon GC’s!

Brittany T recently posted…Review: The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows
I’m allergic to flowers, and I can’t eat most chocolate due to lactose intolerance and gluten, so gift cards are awesome! I was wondering, not in a rude or ungrateful way, how you came to decide on $48 as the prize. I never seen an amount like that before. Happy Valentine’s day and thank you! π
I would prefer the gift card.
I do love flowers, but you can’t go wrong with a gift card!
