Win! Desk Toys for Dorky Dads Ended 6/15
Our generation has produced a flock of men who are brilliant at understanding the most detailed nuances of technology while still remaining a silly 13-year-old. And, many of us call this new breed of man our husband and the father of our children. With Father’s Day right around the bend, June 21st, here are some desk toys for dorky dads who take play time at work as seriously as the bottom line. Playing is how some of the best ideas are discovered, right? And, to sweeten the deal I’m actually giving them away! Yup, you can win almost $70 worth of desk toys and games that just might give your guy his next big idea or at least make his work day more fun. Enter below or on the MetroMomClub.com home page.

Oh Snap! You’ve never had so much fun being stressed out. This game uses a spring loaded tension bar to make collecting pieces from the game board trickier than meets the eye. If you cause the bar to “snap” forward, you lose your turn and don’t get points for the piece that you removed. The bigger blue pieces are worth the most points but pose the biggest risk. This game not only challenges how you work under pressure, but also your comfort with taking big risks. So, it’s pretty handy to have around at the office and for those usually boring hiring interviews. $34.99
Flingons are addicting magnetic little doo dads that make building seemingly impossible structures and shapes simple. These are awesome for guys who fidget at meetings and do their best thinking while doing something else. With 6 red and 6 blue, office competitions will no doubt ensue, too. They claim that, “This flingable, flexible magnetically-connectible fidget set will help fight off restlessness to promote focus, stimulate cognitive function and spark new ideas. ” Maybe I need these, too? $29.99

Hi there! I tried to enter the giveaway, but every time I try to put in my information, an ad comes up and blocks me from doing so/
Yikes! I’ll try to get it fixed. There shouldn’t be any ads popping up at all. Thank you for letting me know!
