  181. My husband wants a new cellphone! He wants one of the smartphones. We’ll have to see about that!

  182. My dad is a gadget ‘geek’ – he’s bought gadgets that he can’t even remember what they are used for! So it’s rather tricky to name ONE gadget that he would like for Father’s Day, but I do know that he doesn’t have a blue-ray disc player… yet. :)

  185. My brother-in-law was saying this past weekend that he would like a new grill or new lawnmower.

  186. My father would love a new truck for fathers day, but since that won’t be happening, maybe he’ll settle for me washing and waxing his old truck. :)

  200. My husband has been salivating over the top-rated BluRay player for a long time – the Playstation 3.

  203. Now that my dad’s retired, he has a lot more free time to watch tv, listen to his favorite music, tend his garden, and take road trips, so the gadgets he’d most love would be an HDTV and Tivo, an iPod or Zune, the EasyBloom plant sensor (which would tell him the types of plants that would grow best in his garden), and a GPS device.
    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  208. Our DVD player is giving up the ghost (locks down randomly but regularyly as we play DVDs) …time for a new one …so why not a blu-ray/dvd player.

  210. The dad in our family wants a winning lottery ticket but will settle for less. My father doesn’t want anything but the kids & grandkids together again…from serving world-wide in the military to the rest of us scattered across the US. I’m thinking a digital photo frame would be awesome for him!

  215. My husband would really like either some insulated electrician tools or welding equipment. Other than that I know that he’s been wanting a new MP3 player for a while now.
