So, what are you getting your hubby for Father’s Day? Do you think he’d like a 30GB Microsoft Zune Digital Player courtesy of Best Buy? Yup, you heard me right. Best Buy is giving away one of these amazing MP3s right here!
From Amazon.com: “The Zune plays music and videos, displays images, and unlike the iPod, it even receives FM radio so you can stay on top of local news or sports. Designed around the principles of sharing, discovery, and community, Zune connects people and empowers them with the tools needed to share entertainment experiences. The Zune experience is centered around connection–connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It’s powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.”

What’s really cool about this digital player is that you can wireless share music with any other Zune player within 30 feet. That way you can both sing along to the same song at the same time! And it comes pre-loaded with some cool tunes to get you started. Just add your own library and you’re all set!30GB Bundle Specs:
- Includes a DLO1 Action Jacket armband for convenience when exercising
- Store up to 7,500 songs at one time for a long-lived, traveling library
- Exceptional FM radio signal for additional entertainment options
- Take your music on the road with up to 14-hours of battery life (for music playing only)
- Integrated wireless allows sharing of songs and photos
- Available in either black or red models
- Available in Best Buy stores now for $199.99-$214.99

He deserves to win because when the kids say “DAD” he lays down what he is doing and comes.
When our anniversary or the kids birthday or mine comes around, he has never forgotten.
He deserves to win because he wouldn’t dream of treating himself to something and I can’t afford to.
He deserves so much more than I can give.

My husband, David, deserves this wonderful prize because he puts my needs before his own.
He loves music and is blessed with the ability to sing beautifully. He sings me lots of love songs and makes my heart melt!
I am going to add your button to my sidebar too Kailani!

My husband deserves something special like this because he works hard all day and never complains. Each night he comes home and he cooks dinner (yes you read that right). My husband is an amazing man who loves to spend time with his family and with our budget so tight I would love to give him a fun new toy like this.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

My hubby is a great dad. He for one puts up with me and my horrific pregnancies. He loves his kids and looks forward to playing with them everyday when he gets home. A Zune player would be so much fun for him and our daughter who is two. She loves to dance and I can just see her getting him to let her wear the earphones and walking around with dad’s toy.
Daddy would enjoy it too.
12:34 pm
My hubby deserves this because not only is he a great husband, kind, caring, supportive and smart but he’s an awesome dad. And since I just recently bought an i-pod nano to use at the gym, it’s only fitting that he could use an mp3 player too LOL

I’d love this for my dad. He works very hard & never gets an recognition. He also hardly ever buys anything for himself, this would be a great present. Money is tight, so we normally don’t exchange presents. These giveaways have been wonderful, will make some Dads very happy.

Oh my husband deserves this! He has been so wonderful since we had our first son 6 years ago- he has stuck with me and held me up and supported me through 3 bouts of post partum depression, 4 miscarriages, 2 months of jobless/homelessness living in our tent trailer, moving 6 times in 8 years, and now he is letting MY mother live with us… he really is the best!

we have two amazing dad’s in our lives. one is my children’s father, my husband. he’s probably the most ideal dad in the world. he unconditionally loves and cares for his children like leave it to beaver. he’s always stealing and giving kisses and hugs and gum to the kids. he’s beyond amazing. he’s always giving to us even when he was struck with thyroiditis which swept him (negatively) off his feet. he just jumped back and provided above and beyond for his family.
and my dad, the kids grandpa is also soo available and caring sometimes it drives me up the wall!!!!!!!!!!! he’s always calling and coming over to be with his grandkids and me and my husband. he never says no when the kids or i need him.
we’re soooooooooooo blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dad in my life is my older son. His daughter is severely handicapped, and his whole face lights up when he sees her face, as does hers.
They have lots of fun playing together, and he makes sure he will always be there for her.
He is being deployed this summer, and although he wishes to serve his country (and he will) it tears him up to leave her at home.
I think it would be wonderful for him to have a gift acknowledging what a fantastic Dad he really is.

My Dad deserves this because he has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and they originally gave him only months. He has been going through chemo and his tumors have reduced 50% and they now give him 2-3 years.
The Zune would be wonderful for him to use during his chemo sessions where he sits for hours at a time…
Thanks for the giveaway and making me tell that story and cry!

My hubbs deserves this because he is always going out of his way to get me things and never thinks of himself. Almost 6 years ago he let me quit my corporate job so I could be home full-time with my daughter then and now 2 daughters. He is always putting us first.

My husband deserves to win because he is a wonderful dad to our kids! Loving, fun, and firm when needed, they adore him. And he has sacrificed a lot for them, including a lot of his own pleasures, so I would love to give him something just fun!

The spceal dad in my life who deserves to win is my boyfriend/partner/ Kai’s Daddy. He deserves to win because he works so hard while I go to school. I am able to stay at home (feed my addiction of blogging) and go to college full time because he works so very hard. He’s a car and tech guy so he would love this, and since he will never let me spend any money on him it would be the perfect gift. Even on Mother’s day and my birthday he takes me out and I get gifts but never on his days does he want to do anything. He would rather pay bills (boring but so true) he’s a great guy and the best daddy. So I would give it to my delfi for being the wonderful amn that he is!
I also added this blog to my blogs I love!!

I’d like to win this for my dad because he is kind of afraid of electronics, but only because he’s never really had anything like this before. I think if I got him one and he figured out how to use it, he would love it. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

My hubby needs a soundtrack of his life. And a Zune to play it on.
2:57 am
The special “dad” in my life is raising my two daughters as his own and has just been blessed with a daughter of his very own.
2:58 am
My dad has had a lot going on in his life lately. A nasty divorce, losing his home, downsizing into a small apartment, etc. This would be something nice to give to him. He deserves happiness!

My wonderful husband deserves to win because he is a spectacular dad and husband.

My brother-in-law is a father and a music teacher. He will use the Zune to help teach kindergarten and first grade students.
3:07 am
My husband deserves to win because he is an amazing daddy. He’s always there to catch our little girls when they fall, wipe their noses when they’re oozing, and ease their worries when they are crying in the middle of the night. Bath time is daddy time, he changes every other diaper or pull-up and never complains. He encourages our girls to take risks but never stands too far away. The thing I admire most about my husband is his commitment. He is commited to being the best daddy ever, to always be there for the important things, to always encourage and never discourage, to always love and protect his little girls. He is always ready to play. He’s reasonable. He is always cool, calm, and collected. He is always giving 110 percent.
He is always positive. I see such pride and happiness in his eyes when our girls give him hugs and kisses, when they call for him. Especially when they run to him and throw their arms around his neck. He has sacrificed a lot for our girls and me. Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Daddy.
3:16 am
My husband deserves a Zune because he’s a great Dad and fantastic husband. He’s working so hard now to fix up the house so we can move and I can live closer to my Mom and Dad. He could use this while he’s working to listen to his favorite songs.
3:17 am
my dh loves to surprise everyone and spoil them on their b’day/C-mas, but we can hardly ever surprise him! we hardly ever know what to get him and usually what he wants/needs is way too expensive. I’d love to be able to surprise him with something neat for F.D.
3:24 am
My husband, children’s father deserves this because he works so hard as Mr. MOM… Is great w/the twins & cool w/the boys…..
3:32 am
My dad deserves because he works hard to support us and let us be privileged!
3:34 am
great for my family all to share

If I win, I would love to give this as a present for my dear father who grew up with nothing and yet tried to give something for his siblings.
I hope to win this for him.

the DAD in my life deserves this because he works so hard for his 7 children and whenever there is extra $ he spends it on them. i look around and see that everything we have is mine or the kids- he has no toys! so i think he deserves one!

I would love to give my dad the zune. He is a very hard working man taking on a family that isnt biologically his. Yet hes love me and my siblings like were his own. My dad is so silly when it comes to music. Because i dont have much money, for his birthday i bought him a little mp3 player but i think he would enjoy this one much more! best of luck for my dad!
4:01 am
I would love to see my husband win. He’s such a hard worker and does so much for our family. He’s an EMT for 48 hour shifts on weekeds, then he farms during his off-time, and goes to school during the week (every day, technically, but since it’s an hour drive away he only goes 3-4 days since we can’t afford the gas!). He’s going to school to be a math teacher, and this past year was particularly hard on him, despite his years of experience in school in the past (he has a couple other degrees since he started college early as a homeschooler). We just had another baby (also have a 2 year old) and he’s such an amazing dad- it melts my heart. Not to mention what a fabulous husband he is…he delivered our baby at home (just the two of us!) 2 weeks ago AND spent the day slaving away for me.
Anyway, I’d just love to see him win as a tiny reward for all he does for us.
By the way, I added you to my blog links and made a post about this.

My father deserves this prize because he sacrificed so much for his kids. He work 16 hours a day his whole life to give us the life he never had. This prize could be just a small reminder of what a great man he is and the man he has made me.
4:05 am
I would to give this to my husband. He could sure use this when he works outside in the yard. thank you
4:08 am
My husband deserves this because he has been the best father any child could ever have. He is kind and loving, hardworking, generous, and has an infinite amount of patience. I’m very thankful to have him in my life.
4:08 am
My husband deserves this because he works very hard to support his family, so I can stay home with the kids. He does not like sports except the games his kids are playing in. He loves to support his kids in every thing they do. They like to play the Pokemon Trading Card Game, so he runs three leagues a week just so they can play with other people. He’s the best husband, Dad and friend any one could ask for. So, giving him a Zone would be a great way to say We Love You and we are thinking about you. So thanks for the chance to win such a nice gift.
4:10 am
My husband is that special “DAD” that deserves to win this Zune. He works all the time rarely having time to rest. On his days off he is always taking us to the park or beach or any other non costly fun thing to do out there. He manages the finances, takes care of me when I’m sick, loves and fathers our three kiddos and most of all…puts all of us on the top of his “important list”. He is a wonderful man that I wish I could give more to, but since I am unemployed (stay home with the kids) I don’t have the income to purchase something out right to give him. I would love to win this and give to him since he is a lover of music.
This is a great contest, I would love to win this for my hubby for father’s day!!!
4:14 am
My “Dad” simply deserves the best!
4:14 am
my dad is the best and he deserves this. I wish i could afford to buy it for him!
4:21 am
every dad is the “best dad in the world”
honestly my dad has had his not so great moments but we are past that and have reconnected once again. I love him dearly and would love for him to win the Zune digital player to help him relax while working those long and late hours that cut into our time together.
4:23 am
My Dad deserves this because he gave his (nearly) brand new one to me after someone stole mine at camp. He’s the best Dad ever.
4:24 am
My Dad is in Heaven and my daughter’s Dad is out of the picture, so I would give this to my Nephew. He is in college and this would be a great gift for him!
4:29 am
he needs a break

My dad needs something that will bring him into the 21st century. This will surely do it.
