***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 it when my husband (father to my daughter) yells at the TV during football/basketball games. I just love how passionate he is about the game and I can’t wait to see what he is like when our daughter is old enough to play sports.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is the best! He fixes everything!!
LeAnn says
Happy Father’s Day! I admire my husband’s patience! I’m aspiring to be more like him as he always takes a step back, assesses & then acts. Not so for moi…
Allison says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is the way he plays guitar :) He’s a lefty, but you can hand him a right hand guitar and he’ll just flip it over and play the chords upside down.
Mandi T. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love my husband for his attention to detail with every DIY project!
julianne says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing my husband does is read to our daughter after a long day of work, even before he’s taken off the suit.

Julie says
Happy Father’s Day! I think the manliest thing about my husband is his excitement over our baby boy that we are due with in just 7 weeks. I thought I might swoon when he was trying on the baby carrier=)
jen says
Happy fathers day! Will be celebrating with my husband who is manly in doing things around the house but tears up when he thinks about our daughters leaving home. They are two and four!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Growing up my father was never around and now that he finally back in my life… we’re slowing, slowing getting to know each other
Lynn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband’s “manliest” moment isn’t when he’s working out or working with tools or fixing a computer. It’s the moment when he rocks the kids to sleep in his arms or changes a diaper. I fall in love with him all over again.
Sonnet says
Happy Father’s Day! The greatest manliest quality about my father is his reliability and desire to always pitch in to help with his knowledge and experience.
Steffi G says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband is a handy guy who can fix almost anything and is called upon to do so quite often!

Happy Father’s Day!!!!
The manliest quality in my husband is his ability to provide for this family of seven on a single income–no small feat these days!
Brendan says
Happy Fathers Day!
Stacey Cucuzza says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I think my husband is at his manliest when he’s on the floor playing with our 1 year old and 3 year old. Something about a grown man laying on the floor playing with a dancing toy puppy just because his kids laugh at it does it for me every time.
Mali says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing my husband does is reading every night to our almost one year old son and acting out every single character in the stories. Makes me fall in love more and more each day…
Kimbercrafts says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! This will be my husbands first “unofficial” Father’s Day (we are expecting a baby girl in the fall). I’d say his manliest quality is his incredible work ethic to help provide for our family!
Robin G says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My husband is handy when it comes to fixing things around the house!
Megan says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! The manliest thing about my man is he is quite good at learning and tackling new diy projects around the house.
Sarah T. says
Happy Father’s Day!! There’s nothing more manly than my husband when he spontaneously plans an afternoon out with our little boys and myself, simply because he loves being with his family.
Larissa says
Happy Father’s Day. The manliest thing about my step-dad is the way he says, “I love you.” When I left home for college, there were few words. But, he did pack me a collection of his favorite, worn hand tools. That said more than three, common words.
Katie N says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is my hero… there isn’t anything he can’t do and I’m proud to be his daughter.
Jenny says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is his love of power tools! A close second is not caring what a big pile of squish he becomes when our one year old daughter is around!
nic says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
my man
is an amazing dad!

Jennifer B. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My man opens tough jars for me. He’s pretty sweet. And manly. :)
Kimberly says
Happy Father’s Day! The best thing about my dad is his patience from being stuck in a house full of girls!
Gennie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband is his muscly popeye arms.
jeanie says
Happy Fathers Day!!
My hubby is more patient w/ son’s quirkiness than I am. That’s manly because love is patient whether a man or woman. An excellent quality for us all.
CamilleAZ says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love how my fiance can fix just about anything and knows so much about home repairs, car/motorcycles etc. and just what a great dad he is to his son!
Lori says
My husband isn’t a father yet (except to our cat), but I love that he is a self-taught handyman. His father wasn’t much of a do-it-yourself kind of guy, but through years of watching This Old House and the DIY channel, he seems to know how to fix everything!
Andrea says
Happy Fathers day! My handy hubby can fix just about anything but his manliest quality is getting up with our child in the middle of the night even when he has a tough day of work ahead of him.
Kate says
Happy Father’s Day! I’ve always been jealous of my hubby’s natural sense of direction.
