***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.

The manliest thing about my husband is underneath all his tattoos and heavy metal rocker voice, he is the most caring, thoughtful husband, dad and uncle. He tells the best kid stories and makes everyone laugh and squirm with delight!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Unfortunately, my father passed away tragically on a family vacation several years ago. If I were to win this giveaway, I would continue his artistic legacy using these tools and the whole work bench full of engraving tools he left behind. :)

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love the way my dad can just come near any broken electronic item and it will instantly start working perfectly. It’s like he’s got some sort of magic electric powers. Or something like that.

Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is a puppy-daddy (no human children for us yet), and his manliest quality is the pride he has in his newly-grown beard. He can’t get enough of looking at it in the mirror, trimming it, stroking it and telling his friends about it.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! – The manliest thing about my husband is that although he doesn’t have a DIY bone in his body, he’ll rely on youtube videos to fix things on our vehicles. No questions, just youtube.

Happy Father’s Day! My husband is a man of all facets and has quite the imagination to go with it; from painting, to gardening, to pergola building, to demolition, to reconstruction a red radio flyer tricycle for our son’s upcoming 2nd bday. He really can do it all, or teach himself to do it all :)

Happy Father’s Day!!
Well on a superficial level I LOVE my husbands big broad manly shoulders. Wow. And on a more personal level I love the way he plays with our son. He is so, so good with him and they both laugh and giggle and carry on and its my favorite thing in the world to listen to. Might not sound manly but theres nothing stronger than gentleness. :)

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is “da man”. Not only can he fix anything, but he has a workroom that has everything in it that one would need to replace parts of anything. He’s better than the hardware store!
Chris says
Happy Fathers Day!
What I love most about my Dad is is my role model and I’ll be lucky if I can be half of the man he is!
Happy Fathers day Dad!

My dad and my husband are awesome dads. Patient, loving, funny, throw a kid in the air at the pool kind of dads. I could not ask for better from either of them!

The manliest thing about my dad is how much he appreciates my mom. And how much he complains when we go shopping…

Brit says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My hub’s manliest quality is the way he melts like a big bowl of ice cream on a hot summer day when he looks at our daughter. He couldn’t be softer. :) It’s just the best.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
The “manliest” think about my husband is that he’ll pretend to hit baseballs and run bases with our five year old.

BeccaK1 says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad’s “manliest” recent boast is that he built a storage shed from scratch out in the back field. Including foundation, siding, and roofing – way to go!
