UPDATE: The winner of this giveaway is #2, Angie!

I was blessed enough to have a father who made me feel valuable.

He was there when I needed him (still is), was a living example of honesty, kindness, godliness and working hard. Not that he is without his flaws, but then again, I’ve never heard him claim perfection.

This is what he should be receiving in the mail any day now…

Isn’t it pretty? Its a photo of some of the grandkids (he’s got 9 all together) at my niece’s graduation last month. I created an 8×10 wooden panel in Snapfish’s Father’s Day store.

Its just a small token of what he has meant to the generations he has influenced.

So in honor of Father’s Day and all the truly wonderful fathers, Im hosting a little giveaway that you can use for the special father in your life or for capturing the memories made celebrating him this Sunday. Check out all the cool personalized photo gifts offered this year.

Its not too late to make Father’s Day memorable for dad, at a great price too. From now until June 19, enjoy 25% off Father’s Day gifts by entering the coupon code THATSDAD at checkout.

Need a last minute card or gift idea? Create photo books and pick them up at Walmart while you’re running your errands.

Or if you really hurry, you can order a photo greeting card designed by yours truly from my Snapfish shop…

Win It! One reader will be randomly chosen to receive $50 to spend at Snapfish! Giveaway ends Tuesday, June 28th at 11:59 p.m. PST. (Please note: This giveaway will end AFTER Father’s Day)

This Father’s Day {Giveaway}

By Nicole

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

UPDATE: The winner of this giveaway is #27, Monique!

Psssst.

Can you keep a secret? Here’s what’s in store for Hubby on Father’s Day…

And this too…

I added a bit of my own touches…

I’m sure there will be some bbg and a little relaxing that day too (good thing he doesn’t read this blog).

Yep, he’ll get a little bit spoiled because he totally deserves it. He works hard and plays hard, gives everything he has to his kids and doesn’t ask for much in return. He puts us first and is always there for us…always. He’s a dad.

Being the Snapfish-a-holic I am, I was thrilled to see all the things they have to spoil dad, like the travel mug and Workbench printable card above. There’s something to match ever interest.

The techie…

The HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web

The sports nut…

Golf Towel

The master chef…

Personalized Apron

And for a last minute gift, there’s always the HP Creative Studio for free printables from photo frames to coupons for dad to redeem throughout the year.

Win It! What about you? How do you plan on spoiling the dad in your life this year? How about a chance to win a $25 credit to Snapfish?

Here’s how to enter:

A Perfect Gift For Dad

By Nicole · Comments (2)

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

I love technology. I also love the arts. And where the two meet is simply divine.

I get my passion for both from my dad. He was a photographer in the Navy, then a wedding photographer. Shortly after i was born, he moved into the printing industry and owned a successful business for over 30 years (which is still going strong today).

Dad always saw the potential and importance of personal computers. I remember the big unveiling of the Apple II at his office and being the only person in high school history class to write my term paper with a word processor. In the early 90s, I was the only person in my college dorm to have a computer. Granted, it took up 75% of my allotted desk space…but I was pretty cool!

So for Father’s Day this year, I was excited to come up with the perfect give for dear ol’ dad. Check it out:

Now I know digital photo frames have been around for a while but it just dawned on my what a perfect gift this would be for my dad this year. Shortly after Father’s Day, we will be celebrating his retirement as a family. I’ve asked my brothers and sister to send me old and new family photos to fill up the frame.

Seriously, this is the coolest frame ever. It holds up to 8,000 photos, plays videos, music, and photo slideshows. It also features a clock, calendar, and alarm, as well as a programmable on/off timer. I know dad will get a hoot out of it.

Snapfish is now offering 20% off Father’s Day gifts. Simply enter DADSDAY09 at checkout to receive a discount. There is also a great discount for $10 off any order of $30 or more with the SAVETODAY promo code (can not be combined).
