    Hi! My hubby would buy a new pair of work shoes, a pair of blue jeans, and a nice Tshirt from the Salt Shaker, that is if I can find him great deals so he can get all of that! Otherwise, he would just get the shoes! Thanks for such a great giveaway!

    I would love this, I would use it to buy my husband new tennis shoes. Thanks.

  46. Hope Sattazahn says

    My terrific husband is building a playset/swingset and I think he would use the cash toward hardware for that – OR, he really wants a shed, so he would use it toward that!

  87. patty says

    Since my husband recently got a speeding ticket that was costly, If he won this I should make him give me the card. LOL Just kidding. He would use it for us to eat out somewhere other than fast food.

  88. Tricia says

    Wow! These are some great gift ideas! Even better, we have a chance to win one for our special dad’s in our lives. Thank you for doing this!

  92. Betty says

    I would give it to my best friend to give to her husband for Father’s day b/c they are having financial problems.

  93. Julie S. says

    We’d probably use it for groceries… as we are currently over our budget in that area! It’s always nice to have a little boost to help you get back on track, huh?

  95. Kelly D. says

    This would be a great gift for my very hard to buy for father, I love him dearly but he is extremely hard to know what to buy for.

  106. Shannon says

    I think my husband would use the gift card to take the kids to see the new Toy Story movie in the theatre. Thanks for the opportunity.

    My husband would put the money towards a bike. He really wants to get in shape and enjoys biking.
    Thanks!

  132. Heather says

    Maybe we could all go to the beach and take a $50 gourmet picnic. We always have fun at the beach.

  137. Katie says

    I would take my husband to buy him a new pair of sneakers since his are all worn out and we cant afford to get him a new pair.

  147. Jennifer B says

    With the extra money maybe we could get our tent we badly need for our camping trip!!

  155. Constance says

    I would MAKE my husband go golfing with one of his buddies. He is a fireman who works 2 jobs, and he loves to golf, but won’t go because it is too expensive. This would be a real treat for him!

  161. jen helmick says

    my husband would probably go do some ” boy stuff ” with our sons I’m thinking airsoft guns, it’s a guy thing.

  162. Sarah M. says

    If we won, I would give this to my hubby to pick out some kind of gadget for Father’s Day (he’s a technology guy)! 🙂

    My hard-working hubby needs some new clothes. He works so hard to provide for us, and never asks for anything.

  194. shel says

    My husband has been coveting a blower for yard work; it would be much easier to clean up rather than sweeping after mowing. $50 would buy him a nice blower at the home improvement store.

  202. says

    I’d consider buying an umbrella and outdoor pillows .

  204. Karina House says

    My husband just received hand-me-down golf clubs, and I would like him to get a chance to try it out! He wants me to try, too, so we’d go together. I’m not sure I’ll enjoy it, but I’m willing to give it a go, especially if it’s free!

  207. Christine Bonds says

    I would give the gift card to my hubby and let him use it on himself. He deserves it!

    thanks!
    .-= Terra Jones´s last blog ..It’s official! =-.

    I would take hubby out to eat somewhere nice. We rarely go anywhere like Olive Garden, Red Lobster, or Outback Steakhouse!

  302. Shannon says

    An extra $50? Well, since it is for Father’s Day, I wouldn’t use it on diapers (though needed!). I would think we’d use it for a new blu-ray movie and/or video game.

  323. Taylor says

    He would want to spend it on something golf related but since we are struggling financially he would put it toward a new car seat for our son bc he has outgrown his infant car seat. He’s a great dad in that he would sacrifice his own wants for the needs of his child!!

  325. Kathy Rambousek says

    We have vacation planned for the week after Father’s Day. That $50 would be a HUGE blessing. We’d probably use it for diniing out priviledges.

  458. Susan says

    I get your emails. I would surprise my hubby with it and he would probably get something for his motorcycle, his new fav. baby!

  468. Deb says

  469. Deb says

    I follow you with google reader. Thanks for the Dad’s Rock giveaway bash – you all are awesome. 🙂

  474. Rebecca says

  530. shoppingninja says

    Would love to win this! Since I’ve just received confirmation that my DH’s FD present will be here on time, this would go to my Dad. Knowing Dad, he’ll probably spend it by taking the grandkids to a minor league baseball game then out for ice cream afterwards.

    Put it towards some computer stuff that he’s been wanting for a while, but not wanting to pull the trigger on yet.
