Mother’s Day has come and gone so now it’s time to plan for Father’s Day. Enter to win our Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and you’ll have the perfect gift for the dad on your list!
We’re giving away a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to one lucky GeekMom reader just in time for Father’s Day. This mid-sized tablet is small enough to take anywhere and includes an S Pen so there’s none of the frustration that sometimes comes with using a touchscreen device.
To enter the contest, simply leave a comment telling me why the Dad in your life needs a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 for Father’s Day and a winner will randomly be selected after the contest closes on Monday, May 27th at 12:00 midnight ET. Also, be sure you leave a means of getting in touch with you so I can let you know when you win. Contest open to residents of the continental United States only.
Good luck!
The dad in this household will be traveling for work this summer and would love the note for entertainment as well as talking via Skype with his daughters. He’s already integrated into the Android sphere, so this would be great.
I bought the original Galaxy Note last summer to my husband’s chagrin. Such an expensive phone he thought. Well being the wonderful gadget-gamer-geek that he is he set it up for me. Well, who’d a thought he’d love it so much! He knows more about than I do lol! I love my phone and I know this well deserving Husband, Step-dad and Dad of 3 would love his own. In December I broke my ankle and have been housebound and tied the couch for months recovering slowly. My husband has had to do all my usual stuff, plus his job, take care of the kids & his usual stuff around the house. It hasn’t been easy but he’s done it with a smile (most times lol) and said not for me to worry. This would be a perfect Father’s Day gift and thank you for all he’s done and will always do for us.
Freakin sweet!
P.S. didn’t want to enter just thinks its a great give away.Nicole you rock!
I’d give it to my dad, because touch screens confuse him, and a stylus might make things.easier. 🙂
On top of being a community builder and great to talk to, our Jim is great about gamifying life’s challenges. Although he’s a tech geek by profession (and avocation), he rarely gets leading edge technology at home because we’re a single-income family.
Not only would he love the drawing and note-taking capabilities of the Note, he could import the grocery list (he takes all three of our kids grocery shopping each week) and take even better photos of our kids and his community gaming events.
My dad is always keeping us updated on the newest tech and helping us to work it. My mom is about to have a baby and it would be so amazing to be able to give him his own piece of new, fancy tech to help him get some relief from the new baby. I would love to give this to my dad as a thank you for caring and as a savior when he needs it most.
The Dad in our house is an active duty soldier that travels extensively for work and is also going to school full time to become an elementary school teacher when he retires next summer. He’s a geeky gamer Dad and never buys himself the latest and greatest gadgets, saving that for his girls.
The Dad of this house works hard running his small business, being the jungle gym, squasher of spiders, finder of favorite stuffed animals, and king of story time. He has 3 little girls who are the center of his world and he’s the center of their world. You’ll never see a smile as big as his then when he comes home and 3 little girls are shrieking “DADDY’S HOME!”.
It seems like a small yet useful enough tablet.
The “Dad” in our house isn’t a dad. It’s my sons’ uncle, Wil (real dad’s brother). He stepped in when dad went into hiding and is always there for us when we need him. He lives close and comes over and plays games. He backs me up when chores are not being done and makes sure the kids are in bed on Sunday night so we can watch Game of Thrones. He’s become my best friend in this rough point in our lives and is helping my oldest get through being a teenager who needs someone to look up to. Uncle Wil is a scientist and has many discussion with my oldest son about chemistry. He also engages my youngest, autistic son, with fun movies and listens to his long stories about his favorite shows. He is a good example of what a father can be.
My husband could really use this Galaxy Note! As an aspiring director, cinematographer, and producer he would be able to organize schedules, review footage, plan shoots, have meetings on the go, and so much more. Also as a comic book writer he could more easily write scripts on the go. Another reason is we have 4 kids we need to keep in touch with add we are on the go following our dream career paths. And another reason, his dad is in poor health and a Galaxy Note would make Google Hangouts with family members out of state, a lot easier. AND he is always doing things for us and the kids and I know that this would make him very happy.
I believe my husband should win the samsung galaxy 8 because he is a hard working man who gives all he has to others but never gets anything nice for himself or asks for anything in return. We cannot afford something like this and I know it would really make his fathers day more special to know he would be giving such an awesome device.
Sincerly

I’m there i love my galaxy s3 but I’ll take a few anything
My dad could really use this because he’s super obssessive about his schedule, keeps track of all sorts of tax-related info for deductions, and likes to have everything very organized. This would be a big help to him.
This would greatly help my husband, once I teach him how to use it. 😉
The Geek Dad in my house could use this! My hubby is one of those who can never have enough gadgets, and he’s been itching for a new tablet. With a new baby due 2 days before Father’s Day, I could use any help I can get with an awesome Father’s Day gift (and FREE gadgetry!).
The dad in my life–my husband–would never buy himself a tablet. He’s still using a 6-year-old flip phone with a battery that doesn’t hold a charge. He just isn’t the kind of dude to go out and buy new technology. But neither is he a technophobe, and if something like this came into his life, he’d learn to use it pretty quickly, and would have a lot of fun with it. And I might borrow it, now and then, too, perhaps.
My husband is an amazing Dad! He is always on the road working it would be a great tool to help keep intouch with the kids when he is out and about! This would be so great!
The dad in my life is the father of my children. He is an amazing father. With two of his three children disabled, he needs this Samsung to keep track of the appointments, therapies, and the bills. He is a hard-working dad that could use such a helpmate!
My husband needs a tablet because he works hard so that I can stay at home with our daughter (who has co-opted our first gen Kindle Fire for herself).
Mine has just discovered the beauty of shared Google calendars, which is almost a necessity with newborn twins and a 2 year old toddler! We’ll get him to join the cool android kids little by little, he won’t even know what hit him!
My sweetie could use it because his gadgets keep *mysteriously* disappearing into the kids’ rooms never to be seen again until they need the charger. 🙂
My husband (the father of our child) needs this tablet so there are the same number of tablets as adults in our household. 😉 Sometimes we both want to use our current tablet at the same time….
My husband always gets second shift in the electronics department because for some reason I always “need” the new shiny things to homeschool the kids. So this Father’s Day I think the hubs deserves the new and shiny!!
My Dad is a 7th Grade Math Teacher, and he could use it… to play Games on while appearing to be grading tests. …yes, i said it!
My Dad would really love this tablet! He’s lost almost all the sight in one eye so a screen larger than his phone would be great for him! Thanks for the great giveaway.
My husband needs a tablet to make it easier for him to switch between office/lab/working from home.
The Dad in our life needs one because he only has an outdated blackberry. Poor guy.
Because the rest of the electronics have been appropriated by the women of the house. My wife claimed my macbook pro to write her master’s thesis, my 13 yr old home-schooled daughter claimed the galaxy tab to manager her Etsy business and her YouTube channel and my 9 yr old daughter claimed the old mac to play Minecraft and CodeSpells.
The GeekDad in my house would love this as a Father’s Day gift! He works teaching High School students about technology so not only could he use it at work but he can use it when working with our son on all of the amazing educational apps available! What an awesome give away!
We have 5 kids who hog both the kindle fire we splurged on as a famiy Christmas gift. It would be great to give my husband his own device.
Where to begin? My husband is still using a flip-open, put your antennae up Samsung phone from many moons ago! He is on the road 40+ hours a week and he deserves it – he is a fantastic Dad to his 2 sons and is setting a great example of work ethic for them. He would appreciate it!!!!!!
The Dad in our house needs an Android because we all need to keep track of each other. Great communication is the key to great relationships.
Steve puts his 3 kids and me first for everything. I always tell him he needs to get something for himself. As most guys he loves to play board games, video games and computer games. I’d love for the kids to be able to give this to him for Father’s day and know it is his and not anyone of the kids’. The Ipod he lost to our youngest, computer is used for homework and xbox is taken over be our middle one.
Thanks for putting on an awesome contest!!
My Husband still doesn’t even have a cell phone. He uses a beeper, for gosh sakes. This will let him jump into the 21st century
The Dad in my life is my husband. He deserves the Samsung Galaxy Note because he doesn’t currently have a phone and I think he needs one in case of emergencies while out working.
Because Mom is hogging the full size tablet.
I would love love love this phone!!! My Thunderbolt is starting to lag with new apps. It’s so sad and awesome how fast awesome tech can become a dinosaur. ;D
My husband would love this because he loves all new toys and gadgets. Plus if he has this, maybe he’ll cough up the Android pad so I can use it every now and then.
My hubby – and dad to my children works really hard to make sure that we as a family have everything we need often putting himself last when he needs something – and he cooks, cleans etc due to my work schedule and never complains! A tablet would be a wonderful gift for him! 🙂
This dad needs a Note, as his 3 daughters have almost completely taken over his Nexus 7 with My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop games. Not that he plays them when their not around, no never. 😉
My husband needs this for father’s day to remind him how he didn’t get me anything for Mother’s day. 😉
My husband (who will be a father soon!) is still using a Motorola Razr and is on the road all the time. He’s been dying for a smartphone!
I would be “Mother of the Year” and “Wife of the Year” with this new Samsung. Not only would my husband upgrade big time, but 10 year old son would get the hand me down first cell flip phone. Two birds with one stone.
Because my dad has a Blackberry playbook and has never gotten it working correctly. He is not a techie but purchased it because he had a blackberry phone. He needs this to see the great capabilities of Android and how easy it can be.
My dad dropped his new phone and its all cracked. Would love to replace it!
My dad is awesome! He isn’t so great with gadgets but he loves technology and loves to learn about them. I love to show him new devices (last year he got his first smartphone). He always gets so excited and loves to integrate his new technology with his theater room and the Galaxy note with its rf receiver would be perfect. He will get that super excited look on his face when he sees it. I love my dad 🙂
Our dad needs a good reliable calendar, this would be perfect!
Because I think he’s a pretty swell guy 🙂
