***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! I love how my dad seems to know everything about home repairs and then dryly explains that you learn these things when you are poor and things break.
Melissa says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
I love that my hubby is a wonderful daddy to our children! He might not be Bob Villa when it comes to home repairs, but he is willing to try and learn.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My father is super manly because when I was younger he was a constant real-world example of confidence. He ignored his teenage daughters’ embarrassment, and paraded around outside mowing the lawn wearing tiny short shorts and a mesh tank top.

Shanna says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I think the greatest things about my dad are how resourceful he is, how he always helps me out even financially when not even asked (such as fixing my car for free since he’s a mechanic), and appreciating the small things I give him in return since I’ll never be able to repay him for all he’s done.

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”

Happy Father’s Day!
I admire my boyfriend’s ability to fix anything on a car! He will take it to a body shop if he feels it’s too time consuming, requires more than 1 person (I’m typically useless), but if he had the time he could do it himself!

My husband is really great at throwing balls and has given me some great pointers on improving my throwing arm (I can only throw balls like 5 feet, it’s embarrassing).
Shannon says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband I think is that he is so smart! He has retained every single piece of history that he has learned and can answer any question you ask him. Total opposite of me!

Cory says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
We’ll be celebrating with my maternal grandfather who helped raise me – he’s the manliest of men: a Renaissance Man. He pretty much built his house in 1960, he created a personal SCUBA suit before SCUBA was a thing, he was an electrical technician in the Navy Reserves, co-owned a tile contracting firm for several decades, and co-owned a 100+ year old hotel/apartment building for several decades. There’s not a DIY project around that he hasn’t tackled. And, at 76, his favorite activities are biking, kayaking, choir singing, and amateur astronomy.
Jennifer Norman says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love the way my man is a fantastic Daddy!
Nancy S says
Happy Father’s Day!
This may sound a little cave-manish, but I love the way my husband “protects” his family. He is a wonderful father too, but deep down I’ve always been attracted to the he-man in him!
Kate S. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband always eagerly tackles whatever home project I suggest and works hard until it’s done–I love that about him.
