***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
According to random.org, the winner this week is… Kat (who celebrated Father’s Day with cards, dinner for her husband and a called to her dad). Congrats!
In honor of Father’s Day (yes, I realize it was yesterday, but why not keep the celebration alive?) we’re giving away – you guessed it – TOOLS. But these particular tools are Ryobi TEK4 tools, a series of ten cordless gadgets that look pretty darn sleek, are crazy durable, and run on a long-lasting 4V rechargeable battery. And come to think of it, ladies would look just as good slinging these guys (so they’re not just for dads). We picked our three most go-to devices from the TEK4 line and are giving them (plus an extra battery and charger) to one lucky guy or gal this week. So without further ado, your trio of tools: the Self-Leveling Plumb / Cross Laser, the Professional Stud Sensor, and the Compact Drill / Driver (and the handy battery they all share).
- PRIZE: The three Ryobi TEK4 tools shown above, plus extra battery and charger.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “TEK ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … share with us what you did you celebrate Father’s Day yesterday. A special breakfast? A family dinner? A card from your dog (Burger makes me one every year). Maybe just a phone call to say “hello” to someone special? Or was yesterday just your average Sunday?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 22th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The contiguous 48 United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…
Note: We weren’t paid or perked for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers. See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Ryobi.

TEK ME! We had a nice, normal Sunday- church, a walk, a quick trip to the pool with our Little Monster, and finished with fajitas and old episodes of Parks & Rec on Netflix. And of course we called OUR dads!

Devon @ Green House, Good Life says
TEK ME!
Phone call to Dad. He had just finished a round at the golf course and told me all about his great shots. I pretended to understand. Pretty much a regular Sunday talking to Dad. (The other option is that he tells me about his terrible shots, and I pretend to understand.)
Juliana says
Tek me! We barbequed steak, shrimp, and ribs. Total man meal! We kept trying to get our two year old to say “happy fathers day, daddy!” but it kept coming out as “thank you fathers day, mommy!” which was still the sweetest thing to my husbands ears :)

My sister surprised my dad with breakfast and he was so blessed by it and energized that he chose that day to help me install the closet kit for my up-coming baby boy (I didn’t even ask him to help that day I had wanted to help him with projects around his house)
My 2 fuzzy babies and paw stamped a father’s day card for my wonderful husband since he is now a daddy-to-be and we let him sleep in and relax all day.

Well, it was uneventful. Woke up, made coffee and pancakes for my hubby and two boys. It was very relaxing. Since it was Sunday, we went to church. However, our church was doing a “bring your big toys” to church in honor of Father’s Day. My husband’s big toy is his CJ-7 Jeep. He painted it, built and put the engine in its pretty decked out. After washing it and driving it to church (I drove in our van with the children) – he parked it right-smack on their lawn for everyone to see. Tada. Church was over, I left for home, hubby jumped in his jeep – dude. It wouldn’t start! Ended up towing it back to our house just THREE MILES away. Wah! Wah! Wah!
Needed something to cheer him up b/c he was so bummed and embarrassed!! Super mom to the rescue, upgraded his 3gs iPhone to the iPhone 4. He was in heaven! And our 6 yr. old scored his old iPhone.
Eileen McDonald says

I took my new boyfriend to my parents house, where he met the rest of my family of six. It went quite well. If he can hang with them, he’s gold.

My dad is not a fan of Father’s Day. He is retired and spent the afternoon at their shore house in Long Beach Island.
While my husband hung out with his father, I took time to paint the walls of our nursery– and thought about how we would spend our first official Father’s Day next year ;)

Cait says
TEK ME, please!
It was my husband’s first father’s day (we had our little Emily in March of this year) so I wanted to make it extra special. I bought him a new battery for the boat he’s rebuilding, and I upgraded our phones to iPhone 4gs each- this way we can video chat if she starts doing something new (talking, walking…) and one of us is at work!
I made him a big breakfast of pancakes and eggs, and we spent the morning at his dad’s house with all of his brothers, sisters, and their kids.
This weekend my mom and dad will be coming into town and we plan on going to the farmer’s market, and taking a train ride through the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Kristin says
