***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 Fathers Day!
The manliest thing about my husband would have to be his race car. Everything about that car screams MAN. That and the way he “rough houses” with our little boy. Its so cute.
Kim Serozi says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest part about my dad is that he can pretty much make/fix anything. My husband is a manly boy scout.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my incredibly talented husband is his demolition skills. I loved watching him smash our old horrible looking cast iron tub into smithereens! :)
Ashley says

The “manliest” thing I admire most about my dad is his willingness to sacrifice for his family’s betterment.

Suzanne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love my husband’s willingness to tackle DIY home projects even though he knows it means he’s doing 90% of the work while I pick out paint colors.
Karen T. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
Oh my goodness, where do I start?! I love my husband’s stubble and how it never quite fills in all the way. I love that he can cook like nobody’s business, without even using a recipe! I love how he can fix anything (house, farm equipment, ANYTHING). I love watching him wrestle cows to the ground (not for fun…if only there was a way to communicate with them so they would know that we’re just trying to help!). I think what I love most is seeing him play with our new baby girl, the way she laughs at his funny faces and noises, and how he is so protective of her.
Sara Dean says
Happy Father’s Day! We will be celebrating my husband’s first father’s day this year (after celebrating my first mother’s day, obviously). I think the manliest quality is the way he wears clothes with holes in it (shorts, shirts, underwear). Seems manly to me!
Tracy says
Happy Father’s Day!

That my husband is a Mr. Fix It!
DeNacho says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
the manliest thing about my daddy is watching him soften over the years. from a hunter who didn’t believe in owning a dog that didn’t hunt, to the guy that now will bring a stray home & try & find someone to help it out!
Catherine says
Happy Father’s Day!
Suzy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Lindsey d. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad does the manliest honk when he blows his nose. (He’s awesome in many other ways, but he still shocks me when he blows his nose!)
Karen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I don’t know what’s more manly…. seeing him with his nephews… or watching him help me with housework. He’s such a guy’s guy… so watching him do either one makes me melt. LOL
Liz says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Ironically, my husband James is at his manliest when he is willing to do or play anything with our daughter. Though he may be pretending to drink out of a Hello Kitty cup, change a gross diaper, or dress up in a frilly hat, he’s super masculine to us!
Lindsey S says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my dad is how he can fix just about anything, but knows when to call the professionals in. And I’m particularly impressed lately by the thought and care he’s putting into picking out the perfect song for the father-daughter dance for my wedding at the end of the month.
Jules says
Happy Fathers Day! My dad’s manliest qualities are his woodworking skills, and my husband is a total sports junkie and this one is weird maybe, but he’s a great driver, and always buys a manual.
Jen says
HAPPY FATHER’s DAY!!
My husband whose rough and gruff on the outside but a big ol teddy bear on the inside!
Krista says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is super handy and does everything himself. My husband on the other hand, it well… not so handy. I am the one getting the tools out in the house… I take after my dad!
Allison says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
How my husband fathers our kids. It’s the best.
Jen says
Happy Father’s Day!!
Kate Lau says
Happy Father’s Day!! The manliest thing about my husband is how he plays with our 2 boys. Even after a long day of work he will come home and have so much fun with them.
Keena Zitkovich says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
This is a great give away! I would give this gift to my dad, who designed and built the house I grew up in. If that isn’t a manly skill, then I’m not sure what is!
Thanks!
Andy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad loves his truck. That truck is what being a “man” is all about.
Mary says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My husband is so manly when he makes my crazy ideas a reality. He just cut down a kitchen cabinet to my specs to make my idea of a recycling center a reality. He fixes anything I break, and does the dishes after I fix dinner. He is amazing.
Rachel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
The manliest thing about my husband is how how great of a father he is. Whether it’s playing soccer with our son or letting our daughter do his makeup… he is such an active, caring, compassionate father- I couldn’t ask for a better dad for my kids! Love my man!
Steph R says
Happy Father’s Day!
Lindsay B. says

Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband isn’t afraid to show his soft side. Makes me love him even more!
Chelsea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
We are expecting our first baby in October and my husband believes that the best way to raise his kids right is to first and foremost love their mother. That’s my kind of manly.
Emma Lou says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
Amanda Spivey says
The manliest thing about my Dad is that when my children are with him he is so soft and sweet and loving. Just a great side of him. He really spends a lot of time doing things with my girls.
Crystal says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
He can make anything! All he needs is a picture and away he goes. This would be a great gift for my boys to give their dad!
Rebecca says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my husband stays home with our daughter. I cannot imagine how fondly she is going to look back on these days.

Happy Father’s Day! I love seeing my fiance play with my nieces and nephew! He’s going to be a great dad someday!
