***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 can literally fix anything! When my parents bought their house almost 21 years ago it was a ghost house, but today it’s absolutely stunning and beautiful!!
Gina says
Happy Father’s Day!
Brenda says
Happy Father’s Day!
I admire that my dad is good at fixing almost anything and if he can’t he gives it his best try.

Debbie Flowers says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband knows so much about everything: auto mechanics, electrical, A/C, plumbing, general construction, and even taught himself computers. I love my handyman. And he would love this drill!
Kelsi says
Happy Father’s Day!! ((Can I mention that I feel weird saying that!? It’s not really a day celebrated hard core around here…)) Being that I’m a sole parent, I definitely have to give a shout out to my little brother who has stepped up and taken over the role of el parental. He launches my son around in the pool, teaches him tricks on the trampoline (and all of the other “boy” stuff that I fail at)… He even allows my son to call him “daddy” interchangeably with “uncle”, which is pure awkwardness in public being that we look like siblings. :)
Nicole F says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my father does NOT know how to turn a computer on, let alone use it, but CAN run two very succesfully businesses. That are, which I might add quite far from his house and one another!
Hannah Bowen says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my dad is he juggled being in the Navy for 30+ years and was still an awesome Dad even when he was away from home!
Beverly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
We will be celebrating this year, hopefully with the birth of our first child! My husband’s manliest quality is how he has taken care of me during this pregnancy and how excited he is for his new son.
Laura McQ says
Happy father’s day! The manliest thing about my husband is his power tool collection. Doesn’t matter what he does, he wants it!
Candace says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is the pragmatic problem solver that’ll just keep trying and trying and trying until he solves the puzzle (even if a lot of sweating and swearing is involved, it’s still inspiring)!
Canela says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband ALWAYS thanks me for every single meal, be it Campbell’s Soup and grilled cheese sandwich or a paella made from scratch.
Carol says
Happy Father’s Day! My father has passed but the manliest thing about him was how hard he worked for his family. He was a carpenter and mail carrier. My husband is an amazing guy and like my dad, the manliest thing about him is how he works in the garden, does woodworking on the side and can fix stuff in the house! Love it!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is one of the most amazing men I know. Not only can he fix almost anything imaginable, he’s such a great support system. Through all 23 years of my life, he’s been there supporting me and making sure that I am safe and secure. He also put my mom through college right after they got married. He’s the best!
Annie in Indiana says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love how my husband can tackle the toughest of projects (like straightening our leaning 1930’s garage) and come home and snuggle up with our four little ones. He’s a great dad, and I’m grateful he’s all ours.
Stacie says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad has a talent for woodworking and loves spending time in his wood shop. AND, he’s also a dad who cooks great food and actually prepares more family dinners than my mom!
Billie McIntosh says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” In my opinion my husband is manliest when he is acting like a little boy with our 3 daughters and soon to be adopted 11 year old son.
Erika says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is the best. He used to put my hair in pigtails when I was a wee-one and get me off to school. His DIY skills are a little on the fritz though…we’re still waiting for him to put a small piece of flooring in 10 years later! :) This could be his motivator!:)

The manliest thing about my dad is when he’s holding a shot gun! Doesn’t get much manlier than that!
Liz says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad can fix anything!
Renee says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I’ll be celebrating my one and only dad! And I’d have to say his “manliest” quality would be his ability to handle conflict. He’s always been so cool, calm, and collected.
Sarah P says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My man can fix anything!
debi says

I love that mine can do the “manliest” of things yet he still screams like a little girl at the sight of the tiniest spider!
