***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Thanks to random.org’s trusty randomness, we’ve got our winner and it is… Gretchen B (whose husband is “a mastermind with wood. He can make almost anything, at times he has surprised himself at what he canters up.”). That sounds familiar. Congrats Gretchen!
Sorry this post is a few minutes late (380 pages of book proofing = crazytown). But Happy Almost Father’s Day everyone! To help us celebrate, Home Depot is giving away an $100 man card, er, gift card so one lucky reader gets a fast and easy way to show their handy hubby/dad/uncle/brother/grandpa/neighbor how much they care… or how much they really want them to finish that project. Home Depot’s also throwing in a RYOBI 18V ONE+ Lithium Ion Compact Drill Kit (valued at $150) because no tool collection is complete without a power drill and driver. Plus this one weighs less than three pounds and the battery lasts four times longer than your everyday battery. So guys, I’ll guess we’ll all have to come up with another excuse to take a break from our to-do lists.
- PRIZE: A $100 Home Depot gift card and a RYOBI 18V ONE+ Lithium Ion Compact Drill Kit
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what’s the “manliest” quality of the person you’re celebrating this coming weekend. Do you admire your dad’s ability to fix anything? Do you just love seeing the father of your children with a little bit of stubble? Or maybe the way your brother plays with your nieces earns him major guy-points in your book?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 13th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
- 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 winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Home Depot.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad restored a 1966 Corvair convertible for me when I first started driving. It was amazing to see him do it singlehandedly and we were really close during that time. What a gift!

Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my dad is his ability and willingness to help with any household task (and to let us borrow all the tools we need!)
schmei says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is a true man’s man: he can singlehandedly load all our furniture in to a truck, drive it to our new house, and then change the baby’s diaper when he gets there. He’s pretty awesome.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Celebrating my dad, who has the innate quality of being able to visualize and then build just about anything you could want made of wood. It never ceases to amaze me and make me jealous.

samantha says

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love how my husband wasn’t raised doing DIY/handy things around the house, but is taking it upon himself to just figure it out and learn on the job! It’s pretty manly! :)
Vonda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My Dad can do projects without referring to google! Now how awesome is that? No books, no Google, just tinkering; too, bad he doesn’t know the name of the tools, they’re all thingamajiggers.
Grace says

My husband’s manliest quality is his ability to fix almost anything.
Brandy Shuman says
Happy Father’s Day!! This weekend, I am celebrating my new husband. From the moment we began dating, he took my daughter in as if she were his own, and he has been the BEST father any child (and mother) could ask for! If that’s not “manly” I don’t know what is!!
Alice H says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” •BONUS QUESTION: He is the BEST lawn boy I have ever had :-)
Thanks for the giveaway!
JezabelleDisreali says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I love that my dad helps with the plumbing. We just bought a new house, and the plumbing is quirky at best hysteria inducing at worst. And my dad is always there to come over, pick me up off the floor, and get the pipes going like they should.
Rebecca says
Happy Father’s Day! I celebrate my dad this weekend, a wonderful man!
Cheryl says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! My husband’s manliest quality? Being able to keep it together when the baby is screaming, the toddler is bouncing off the walls, and the teenager is rolling her eyes. When we had our last little one three weeks ago, I was in the hospital for two weeks after and he took care of all three girls by himself. I am so proud! Poor guy though, he’s surrounded by females and that alone makes him the man of the house!
Kelly says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is the way his eyes light up when he sees our son running to the door to greet him after work.
Natalie says

Christina W. says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband is manly enough to help me wash dishes! :)
emily jane says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing my dad has done recently was buy a croissant at starbucks and lead a group of 20 ducks and their babies from busy streets back to their pond : ) he even stopped traffic to lead them across the street! does it get any manlier?!?
Trish says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my dad and husband get along so well together.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how easily my boyfriend’s heart melts when our 3 year old son says ‘I wuv you Daddy!’
Marcela says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is definitely a Mr. Fix It and can fix just about everything…seriously. He goes from home improvement guru, to car mechanic, to landscape architect. I love it!
rachel says
Happy Father’s Day!!
The manliest thing about my dad is that he can fix anything even if he’s never attempted it. Also, because he’s a 3 time cancer survivor.
Nikki Kelly says
Happy Father’s Day!
Emily says
Happy Father’s day!!
My father can always admit he’s wrong!!!
britwash says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! The manliest thing about my hubs is his manly arms while swinging a hammer. Slightly shallow of me but the are the icing on the cake of the overall package. :)
stefanie says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband is such a handy man!
Lindsay Huff says
Happy Father’s Day! The maniliest thing about my Dad is that he can fix ANYTHING. He’s never worked in construction, yet he can build anything. If there’s something he wantes to make, he’ll figure out how to make it. Because of him, I’ve got custom coffee tables, bookcases, built-in’s, etc…
susan says
Happy Father’s Day…..My honey’s best trait is his heart of compassion. That is why he is a wonderful father. We have been able to welcome 2 boys,with down syndrome, into our family through adoption. This never would have happened if he wasn’t such a caring guy.
Chaya says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad can fix anything.
Sara W says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is the best dad in the entire world, he can fix anything, give advice on just about anything, and knows when you need a hug to get you through the day. There is nobody in the world more important to me than my dad.
