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!
Because my dad is the only one in the family who has an iPhone and he needs to convert to Samsung products like the rest of us.
Screw him! I’m keeping it for myself. He didn’t get me a thing for mother’s day! ; )
My Geek Dad hubby may work from home, which sounds like he gets to spend a ton of time with his little geeks (and he does, comparatively) but that also means he needs to be slightly more organized – and he sucks at that. The 8 would help tremendously when scheduling out of home/office work appts around the t-ball, soccer, lego parties and field trips to the science center and amusement parks.
My husband needs a new tablet because our son has taken over the one he (the dad) had bought for himself.
Quite frankly, any tool that will help my hubby get more organized will be welcome in this house! Plus he’s a sucker for gadgets and would LOVE this.
My dad is making the nearly 6,000 mile journey from California to give me away at my wedding in England later this year. He’s never left the country before! At nearly 60 years old he and my mom got their very first passports! I’m so proud of them! I’m about to move out of the family home in California and a Galaxy Note 8 would help them span the distance to keep in touch with me as I start my new life in the UK.
Thank you!
My dad needs it for his business. 35+ plus years as the head groundskeeper for a private estate and he will be retired to his 8 grandchildren next year. Got to keep up with the grandkids and new technology.The 8 would help tremendously when scheduling out of home/work appts around the football, lacrosse, lego parties and field trips to the science center and amusement parks.
Hubby needs one more device to be addicted to…
I can only be my husbands personal assistant/organizer for so long. It’s time I leave it up to technology. Plus did I mention he is the BEST soldier, husband and father I know. He deserves nothing but the best! <3
My dad spend most of his time at home, or in his wheelchair, connected to the world through the Web. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 would help him better stand up for the apostrophe. –Preston
I’d love to win one. 🙂
I think the note would be perfect for my husband because of it’s larger screen. He has trouble with my android phone, but the note would be better for him (IMO).
Hubby needs his own device 🙂
My hubby has been so sweet, waiting on getting new tech when it becomes more affordable so we don’t destroy our budget for our family. This is a huge change from his earlier years, when he always had the coolest and best computer and tech stuff in his family. His sacrifice for our family means he usually has the oldest tech now. For putting his desires aside for the interest of the family, he would be the happy recipient of this gift! (My email is zontziry(at)gmail)
I bought a nexus 7 with the idea that we’d all share it, you know with the the jellybean mutliple account feature. My husband, the only man in a house with 3 girls, never gets to use it. I’d love to get him his own boy’s only tablet!
I would love to be able to surprise my husband with this gift! His kids live across the country for most of the year with their mom and it’s so hard on him to miss them so much all the time. This phone would be a great big step in being able to keep in touch with them easier in between visits!
Cora’s dad deserves this because he’s been doing an amazing job of reading to her, and books are among her favorite things. He could use this to keep up with digital subscriptions of his own magazines.
It’s been one of those months…the iPhone is acting up (he’s still an iPhone fan…he must see the light), the laptop battery is down to lasting mere minutes, his car got a flat tire on Friday, the A/C stopped working and will probably need to be replaced, and his furlough days are expected to start soon (so he’ll have extra time to get used to Android!).
My father was a auto mechanic. He would love to get his hand with this tablet this year!
My husband needs the Note so he can write down story ideas quickly (with the stylus) and because he is a great dad who deserves a new toy!
Because I like hearing the sound of his voice; it would bring him closer to me
Oh boy! The dad in this house is exhausted with refereeing tablet/phone time between mom and kids! He would love this!
My dad needs a note so he can work without having to carry around his block of a laptop everywhere. He always sacrifices so much for me and my family so i think he deserves something in return 🙂 love you dad <3
My dad needs it because he is an awesome geek and he and I like to keep up with the newest, coolest thing 🙂 Thanks for the chance 🙂
My Dad thinks tablets are the coolest thing ever invented. He’s still using an old school PC desktop ! HELP MY DAD UPGRADE! Thanks :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
My dad would definitely benefit from a Galaxy Note 8. He’s a serious wood hobbyest, but he hasn’t yet stretched his access to woodworking websites into his workshop.
Thank you for this opportunity.
It would be cool to get him a new tech toy, hopefully this can get him away from his ipad
The Dad in my household needs this because in he past 1.5 years he has had to make many changes in his life to help care for his family. His own father died after an almost year long battle with heart problems, then moved his entire family in to help care for his mother who was shortly thereafter diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. In addition to working & taking care of the house he is helping to raise 2 beautiful children, helping to teach his Kindergartner daughter to read (who is already reading at a grade 2 level!!) while still trying to find time for himself to keep up with his personal interests in reading, blogging, redditing & board gaming with his friends. He goes above and beyond what a Dad is asked to do to make sure his kids have nothing but the best lives they can have. Having this would help him to keep up to date with some of the latest technology and his personal interests for a little ‘Daddy time’
He would love having a “toy” that the kids wouldn’t be allowed to touch. They’re already co-opted every gaming console in the house and even his handhelds.
My dad is the person got me interested in technology when I was little kid, around 5 years old. He was the one that bought me my first computer, a Tandy 1000 from RadioShack and we played games like Space Quest and King’s Quest off floppy disks….the big floppy kind! Its because of him why I love technology and gadgets, so it would be awesome if I could win this Galaxy Note for him.
Hubby works hard and studies hard, yet he finds time to give to the kid in our town through Little League. Over the last several years he’s devoted himself to give the children of our community a chance to learn teamwork, good sportsmanship and gain confidence through having fun.
My husband is more than a husband. He jumped head first into fatherhood eleven years ago with a grin and a never quit attitude. Our older child has had some struggles, he never gives up. NOW we are “new-again” parents, and he’s taken to that like a fish to water. However, he forgets things. LOTS of things. Having a place for him to jot down notes AND sync up with me would make an AMAZING Father’s Day gift… AND help him keep up with our family AND his friends, so that he is living a balanced life!
My dad is 86 and would really be helped if he had a tablet that has a stylus like the Note 8. He has a Touch that he got 4 years ago but it is too small to use now.
My husband would love to have a tablet so he could use the ladybug mag app with his daughters. And so he could keep up on the latest posts from geekdad.(Thanks to him, I found the geekmom site and love it.)
My dad would benefit from this so much! He works in construction and being able to use the s-note feature would be amazing!
My father doesn’t do ‘gadgets’ but I’d gladly give this to my husband who is the father of our one wonderful kiddo. He’d finally be thrust into this century and have to give up his non-smart phone. And he could then play games with me!
My husband has been travelling a lot lately for work so this would really come in handy. My son would get such a kick out of giving him this for Father’s Day!
The dad in my household needs to stay current in the latest available technologies.
The dad around these parts, my hubs, just started commuting an hour to work each way. A Samsung Tablet would be perfect for him to read or surf on the way.
My husband would love this! He gave me a Slate7 for Mother’s Day, so I could return the favor 🙂
My husband wouldn’t mind having this to take with him to work and on business (so I can keep our Nexus 10 at home!)
A Galaxy Note 8 would be great for him for all those times he needs to sit through chemotherapy.
Stylus! My husband would use ths to take notes.
It might help keep him organized.
This would be a gift for my husband. He is a high school science teacher and works so hard. He goes above and beyond at his school and tries really hard to help all of his students succeed. It has been a tough year because our son started school and my husband feels guilty that he doesn’t have more time to spend with him. He is such a great daddy, though! 🙂 My husband doesn’t really need a tablet, but it would be a great surprise for such a hardworking and loving man. Plus he is turning 40 a few days before Father’s Day, so it would be an added bonus! 🙂 Such a great giveaway, thanks for a chance to win!
My Dad is a very active computer tech at the ripe old age of 74. He was recently diagnosed with lymphoma, and it is a trying time for all of us. He would love a tablet, but it just hasn’t been in his budget as of late.
My husband needs one because he works in the computer field and with this device he can get work related things done more efficiently while he’s out with us. He just became a second time dad and he loves being home with his kids.
A Dad needs a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for his work in the hospital, to have instead of many small booklets one gadget in his hospital clothing to look things up and to take notes for the day
He’s a stay at home dad who’s a gadget geek and loves games. More importantly, he loves teaching the kiddo through games. Mommy has her tablet, but it’s not around during the day for them to play with. Would love for him to get his own.
What? The dad? This would be for ME!
