***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 that my dad is a master furniture builder. He loves making things for us, and well, I love him making them!
jaurie says
Happy Fathers Day!
My hubby is manly for many, many reasons, but I think his manliest quality is not being afraid of tackling dishes or laundry when I need a little extra help around the house.
Rebecca Torres says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My husband being a typical Alpha male, does not take to being told what to do very well, but when I ask him to fix something, he is all over that like white on rice. Leaky pipe under the kitchen sink? check. Tear out a wall and replace floor tiles? check. Build closet shelves? check. Put up a fence? check. I could go on and on, but I won’t. ;) I know I can always count on my manly man to get the job done.
Jenni Rigdon says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Love to see my husband with my son!
Jayme says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! This is my husband’s first father’s day, and he worked soooo hard working on our fixer upper house before the baby came including doing ALL the painting and heavy lifting since I was pregnant. He’s the best!
Cherelle says
Happy Fathers day!
Rebbie says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad can fix anything car or house related. I don’t ever remember having anyone else fix anything as a kid, so now it really bugs me when I have to pay someone to do something like that.

Jess says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband’s manliest quality is his ability to take apart any engine and fix it.
Cherie says
Happy Father’s Day! My father-in-law has been incredibly helpful to us this year in prepping for our major home reno project.
Alyssa Strauss says
Happy Father’s Day!!
The manliest thing about my Hubby is when he tries to do everything himself just to make things easier for me. No matter how hard I try to help he doesn’t want any. Wether it be with things around the house or something to do with our daughter, he wants to do it.
Stephanie Smedberg says

Megan Eagan says
Happy Fathers Day! The manliest thing about my husband is the way he is so hands on and sweet with our 7 month old son. He is such an amazing dad!
Adrienne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my significant other — which I actually had NO IDEA about after until we moved in together — is that he knows how to use all sorts of power tools as a legacy of a childhood helping his grandfather and uncle with construction projects! It’s been fun to watch him acquire his own set of tools over the years, and see him do projects around our place. But I would like to upgrade to this drill…
kristine walker says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that it drives my husband craaaazy when other dads say they’re “babysitting” their own kids! Hahaha. He always sees spending time with our son as a great oppurtunity!
Cindy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Hmmm, my hubby’s most manly quality is his ability to laugh, be silly or even cry without! He’s considerate! He cooks! He cleans! He fixes things! And – this is a biggie – he is my go-to electronic gadget fixer!
Happy (early) Father’s Day to you, John! May you have many, many more. :-)
Eileen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
If you’ve ever watched “Parks and Recreation,” my dad IS Ron Swanson, right down to the mustache and haircut. He’s had a mustache since he was old enough to grow one (15 years old).

Erin says
Happy Father’s Day!! The manliest thing my husband does: work hard in a job he doesn’t dig to give the kids and I days filled with each other. Are there Father’s Day wishes? Because I wish him the job of his dreams someday.
Jessica says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my dad can fix anything. Anytime I have something that goes wrong, my first call is always to my dad. Thanks, Dad!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! The manliest thing about my dad is how he always takes care of me. :)
Danielle R says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is his amazingness at being a father to an only girl. He was never “too manly” to have tea parties or play dress up, or now as I’m older, go with me wedding dress shopping.

Kelly D. says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband and I are expecting our first baby in about a month, and my husband has been on this amazing and tenacious craigslist and antique store hunt to find the perfect rocking chair for us to use while we soothe our baby to sleep. He also looks pretty great when he smiles and practices tying on the Moby wrap around a practice doll from our childbirth education class.
Stephen Wirtz says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My Dad needs this so he can stop borrowing mine!

I love that my husband has been such a great example for our children.

happy father’s day!
The manliest thing about my husband is the way he takes care of us…like the time we were hiking and he picked up a tree that was blocking my path (this was the moment I knew I’d marry him!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband can fix (and sometimes build) just about anything he sets his mind to.

Happy Father’s Day! My dad is fearless. He may not be 100% sure how to do a project, but he isn’t afraid to try, fail, and try again. I wish I was more like that.

Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is seeing the look of pure happiness on his face when our little man gives him a hug/kiss. So sweet!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
Stacy says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
We seem to be live a DIY lifestyle. Isn’t it perfectly normal for the tool bucket to life (somewhat permanently) on the dining room table?
Let’s just say that last weekend my husband decided removing our old chimney (which we no longer need thanks for a geothermal HVAC upgrade last Fall.) Just a ‘quick project.’ HA!
Whosthatdog says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Love that my partner is great with our new baby and will take a crack at fixing almost anything!
Kristen says
Happy Father’s Day! The “manliest” thing about my dad is that he can fix anything around the house or in the yard. He has taught me how to paint like a professional, to install wood floors, and to fix up the yard!

Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my husband is willing to take on anything I ask him to, and is even willing to ask for help if he needs it!

Heather Z says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I just met my dad two years ago… so I’m still getting to know him, really. But his most endearing quality is his sense of humor. I like to think its genetic :)
