Father’s Day Giveaway by Mrs. Fields – CLOSED

Father’s day is coming soon! I bought Chris a really rad print of an old-school weight lifter since Chris has now turned into a meat-head. It’s rad. Do you know what you’re doing for the father(s) in your life?

Here’s an idea. . .

Mrs. Fields has a gifts website, dedicated entirely for sending sweet messages to loved ones! I had the privilege to check out their Salt Lake operations & test a few of their offerings. MMmmMMmm! Their cookies are guaranteed fresh, delicious and so festively packaged. You should check them out the next time you need to send a care package across the country, or even next door. Mrs. Fields also has a sweet blog, Mrs. Fields Secrets, a great blog that shares recipes, gift giving ideas and the occasional giveaway! I need to try their stuffed oatmeal cookie recipe. It looks delish.

Mrs. Fields has generously offered IS•LY readers the chance to win the above cookie care package for Father’s day! How awesome is that?!? So awesome. Comment for your chance to win this for yourself or a dad in your life. He’ll be so happy you entered. Here are the contest details:

My husband has only been a dad for 5.5 months, and he’s amazing at it. At first he was so stiff and uncomfortable holding Phineas. Now he loves to spend entire days caring for our son. In fact, he enjoys spending his days off with Phineas while I work. Enjoys it. And it makes me all teary to see him make this transformation. You’d love it, Meliss!

And who doesn’t love Mrs. Fields? Their golf bag arrangement is darling, too!

My dad is the most selfless person I know. When he was growing up his family didn’t have much, and because of this, he was determined to make a better life for his family (aka me, his daughter).

My dad has always given us children the very best. He’s so sweet, he always thinks about his family before he thinks of himself (if he ever does think of himself.)

My dad is so awesome because he is always serving us kids, my mom, and his own mother who is in a rest home, who he visits daily, and is always taking care of her.

The above reasons are why I think my dad deserves this sweet gift :)
He loves everything chocolate, and would feel so loved to receive something form mrs. field’s :)

my mom died when i was 2 years old. i was the youngest of four girls. ages 8, 6, 3, and 2. My dad raised us all by himself. he did a great job and we’ve all turned out really well ( ;) ). now that we’re all moved out and some married, he decided to marry as well. not only did he raise us himself, but he sacrificed something else and waited until we were all grown up to marry someone who we may or may not have liked. what a great dad! i would love to give him this cute mrs field’s gift for fathers day! thanks for the chance!

Shauna

My hubby is an orthopaedic resident in his first year, we have 2 1/2 kids and he still manages to make us feel like we are his priority (did i mention he cleans?). They call him Dr. Fantastic at work because he’s gets things done so quickly (little do they know, he’s just trying to get home to us). We love him a lot, he is THE best DAD!!!

belllesme

my dad deserves this because he never eats sweets and it would be nice to get him to eat it once in a while ;) Also because he is the BEST dad ever!!!

Kirsten

my dad is such a great guy.
i didn’t always think this (the first 20 or so years of my life) but now i really appreciate him and all he has done for me, my mom and 5 siblings.

he is the hardest worker. he was laid off at age 63 2 years ago. he hasn’t been able to find a great job since then but everyday he WORKS. he volunteers at the temple, helps out everyone in the ward and helps my brother with his growing business (which thankfully gives him an income as well)

he’s a great example to me and let me tell you- this man can EAT. he’d love the cookies :)

rebecca

handyman heaven is so cute!my dad deserves this because he always tries to help my sisters and i with our little projects but he is worse at then we are!

Oh- I wish for my husband to win. He saved my life and my daughter’s life. If it wasn’t for him (and a lot of doctors!)we wouldn’t be here. He is so incredible. I know that I have one of the most amazing husbands around and my daughter is ONE LUCKY COOKIE for having him as her Daddy (pun intended!)

Jess Lane

My hubby is incredibly imperfect – loud, annoying at times, can be insensitive, unorganized and scatterbrained. He’s also loving, sweet, hard working, supportive, complimentary, ambitious, careful and the best father to my two little ones that I could ever hope for. He’d even share these cookies with his two sweet girls (well, make that three!)

tara

my husband is a hardworker. so much so that he works his little tail off to get his work done as quickly as possible to get home earlier to wrestle with my son and dance with my daughter. he takes them out to ride their bikes while i prepare dinner almost everynight, giving me the much needed break at the end of the day. he also has a “thing” for mrs. fields. he NEVER has a birthday cake, he always has a birthday COOKIE, and only from mrs. fields. i think it would make father’s day extra special for him if i surprised him with this little package. maybe i’ll get it anyway!

Jill

My husband works about 17 hours a day almost every day to make ends meet, but when he comes home he still makes time for the fathering even though he’s tired as dog balls.

Plus he loves cookies.

Jenn

My dad deserves this but I am going to nominate my sons dad because:

1. He deserves some cookies for playing baseball for hours (and hours and hours and hours….)on end with our toddler.
2. He’s a GREAT at killing spiders, mowing the lawn, & opening jars.
And finally,
3. Because he’ll share them with me & Jax :)

Jenn S

My dear hubby deserves all the cookies in the world. We depend on him so much more on so many levels ever since our youngest was born with a birth injury (almost two years ago). He is always there for our five year old when it comes to weekend breakfast, building monstrous lego sets, explaining how cars work and teaching him to swim. From tickle fights to fixing everything that breaks around the house…to the even bigger battles with our insurance company, he rises to the occasion every time with love, a sense of humor and a deep devotion to our kids.

Happy fathers day to the men in your lives!

leni

no matter how much work or how many obligations he had, he always made his children a priority. he found time to be at EVERY soccer and softball game I ever played growing up. i should mention that i played both competitively (soccer for 15 years and softball for 6 … we’re talking over 10 tournaments and 75 games each year!) he took me to my practices (even when i was old enough to drive). he’s provided me with undergraduate and graduate school education. he’s been the most supportive and loving father anyone could ever ask for. i am truly blessed to be his daughter.

jenni kaufusi

there are way to many things i can say about my dad, he is a great guy. He is always trying to help all who are in need & he is a Great dad and grandpa. I just love him and he would love those cookies.

kelly o

My dad just completed his first triathlon and I’m so happy for him!

Casey

My dad definitely has a sweet tooth (it shows), but gosh he deserves any sweets he can get his hands on. My dad helped my mom raise me and my 4 brothers and 2 sisters and did a wonderful job! And now whenever I see him with my own daughter (who is now 6 months old)it brings back so many great memories of living in a large family with amazing and loving parents.

Heather

I have a wonderful dad, I love him oh so much. My dad’s mother passed away a couple weeks ago and I think he would really appreciate some sweetness in his life. He’s doing okay but cookies and chocolate would definately lift his spirits, and fill the tummy.

Meghan

I have a wonderful husband that has the biggest sweet tooth. He hasn’t been a dad for long, our son is 5 months, so this is first Father’s Day and he is looking forward to it. He has really impressed me and others with his natural ability to love and take care of our son. In fact, he is the primary caregiver at night while I work and he does such a wonderful job. I know he and my son enjoy their daddy and son time while I am working. These cookies would just be a perfect gift for him.

Katie

I grew up eating cookies and milk with my Dad. He so would love this!

Amber

My Dad is not only my hero but the hero of so many. He has been a firefighter and paramedic for almost 30 years and absolutely loves what he does. Recently he was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and has had to take a leave from work and he wishes nothing more than to be out saving lives. As a man who LOVES cookies, a gift like this would lighten his spirits and put a much needed smile on his face.

Callie

My husband definitely deserves a sweet break! He works 6-7 days a week 12 hours a day just to get us by! He gets no time for himself. With 2 kids and one on the way times are really tough. This would really surprise him, otherwise he’ll just be getting a card this year. He is one great father!

Chatelaine B

My Dad is our very own McGyver, he’s our cookie monster, he’s our shoulder to cry on, our voice of reason, our backup when asking Mom for something, he’s mister fix-it, he’s the teacher of life lessons, he built the family home, and taught me how to renovate my first and I will always be Daddy’s girl. I <3 my Dad.

Diane

My husband is a great dad. I love how our daughter giggles when she spends time with him.

aleena

my dad deserves this sweet treat because he is the sweetest man I’ve ever known. He will do anything for anyone even if it means giving his last penny. He always worked long hours and drove long distances to take care of his kids. When my parents got a divorce, he stepped up and took full custody of us and did anything to make ends meet. I think its time he gets a little sweetness back now that were grown and enjoy the sweet life.

Katie

I would love to win something to give my husband for Fathers Day this year. In 2008 he was laid off and we lost our home and our cars. My husband and I decided the best thing for our family was for him to go back to school and train for a different career. He is a full time student and is doing so well in school and unfortunately because of me being the only one working we dont have any extra money to do anything for Fathers Day. He is a wonderful husband , father and man and he goes out of his way to try and help others as much as he can and I would love to be able to show him how much we appreciate him and how proud of him we are this Fathers Day.

Trudy

My dad deserved the Handyman’s Heaven because he truly is the handiest man around! He comes up with many solutions for around our house!

betsy

because he lives way up in the mountains in wyoming, and needs a sweet treat!

Heather Feather

My dad deserves the gift because he is a sweet man. His favorite cookie is chocolate cookies, he loves anything chocolate, and he loves nuts. I mean, I never knew there were other kinds of cake, ice cream, or cookies besides chocolate until I went to college and started shopping for myself.

Katie

My sweet dad deserves this gift because on Valentines Day he sends my sisters and me Mrs. Field’s chocolates (they come in an awesome heart-shaped tin!). And because he always seems to call when I need him. Fatherly telepathy.

Amanda

My dad is finally getting his life together. He bummed off me for five years and I had to quit enabling him to be unemployed. I’m proud that he’s finally got a job and bought a used truck.

Loni

My father is my GREATEST example! He is the MOST selfless, non-judgemental, thoughtful, giving, warm-hearted and KIND person I know!! He really does deserve ALL the best things in life! :)

Maegan

I like reading the previous comments. So many good men. I’ve been blessed myself to have MANY great father figures in my life. Not sure which one I’d give it too. Either my hubby, who is most certainly my teammate in loving, chasing, correcting, teaching, and playing with our children. Or my own daddy…really choking up here now…is my hero. He’s been living with ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease) for over 3 years now (already far out living his prognosis) and is, what can a I say, A warrior. I never thought I was anything like my dad, but as I get older I’m discovering how very much like him I am… hopefully I can live up to being a warrior too! Man I love them!

Happy Daddy Day to all those REAL men out there!

DixieJo

Tough call.
My dad is the kind of dad that raised me to know what kind of man I wanted to marry.
My husband is the kind of dad that I hope my boys will grow up to be like.
I could give you the details of either one of them and go on and on about them. But truly, is there any better thing a mother can say than that they are men I hope my own children can be like.

tvmom

my husband just became a dad of 2, so he totally deserves this!

Brooke

Because my dad is amazing and I don’t know ANYONE who loves cookies as much as he does!

Alisa: a pina colada

My dad is so thoughtful and giving. I’m amazed at what he does for others!

Tara

My dad loves cookies! This would be a yummy gift for him!

Andrea

Would love to win for my husband….I asked him what he wanted fo rFathers’ Day and his response was “A cow” in true cattleman form. Please don’t make me have anymore cattle in my life than I already do. cookies seem better!

Peggy

My dad at 85 and is still the best dad on the planet. He still takes care of everyone around him and he is the best example of a super dad. I’m so grateful that my children and grandchildren get to watch him show the way. He has amazing enthusiasm for life and learning. He has been attending the university with his buddies for about 15 years, you would think he would have a degree by now. He retired as a pediatrician and showed us that you never retire, by serving a humanitarian mission in Russia at the age of 70.

Steph

My boys would love to give their dad a sweet treat.

kate skogen

my husband loves cookies! what a great giveaway!

Louis

I would like to win this to show my appreciation for my husband, who is a wonderful father to our 2 little princesses. He is a hard worker, good listener, best friend and so much more
