***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 manly dad is my go-to guy for all things electronic/computer-related.
Jenn says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad’s super manly. He can fix anything from a broken winch on my jeep, to hooking up an oven on our porch when ours crapped out mid thanksgiving dinner preparation to building multiple dog doors for our crazy mutts. He does it all!
Jessica Willis says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is his awesome knowledge of everything. I haven’t encountered one time in my life where his thoughts or intuition on something was wrong! Which can be both a blessing, and a bad thing for me sometimes haha!

I love that my husband is secure enough in his manhood to shamelessly admit that he watches General Hospital and enjoys “girly” drinks like wine coolers when he’s not drinking whiskey.

Happy Father’s Day – to the best Papa in the world (per our 8 year old)
Autumn Watt says
Happy Father’s Day! My papa is the best. He has the ability to turn any project into somethig wonderful. If he does not have the tool needed he tries to make it first before ever going to buy it. He is wonderful. As for my husband, well he is a great father and so fun to love!
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest quality in my father is his NEED for grilling. When it rains, he sets up in the garage near the open door. When it’s hot, he runs in and out of air conditioning. When it’s snowing? Yep, he’s still out there!

Happy Father’s Day!
I love how much my husband loves my son!

Krista says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is kind of like Tim the Toolman Taylor :)
Tirzah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! One of the manliest things my hubby does is scout around for the very best parking space in a lot. This usually involves stalking people with our car. Also, he cooks all the meals for our family of four. Very manly!
Rachel says
I love my brother in law so much. He is a crazy, loving, adventurous dad to my nephew and niece. I hope some day to have a husband that is half the dad he is. :)
Kate says
While my husband is not yet a father to a human child, he babies our dog Gus like crazy.
I find it “manliest” when he’s out cutting down trees and chopping the trunk into managable pieces for the fireplace. It’s so impressive, and such hard work! I tried using the axe once to see how much damage I could do to the piece I was trying to chop – turns out not much at all! I was lucky if I even hit the piece of wood!
Nick says
Happy Father’s Day!
sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The fact that he’s not afraid of anything!
