***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!
Megan says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I love how there’s no job too tough for my husband. He’s very handy and if there’s something he’s not sure about, he teams up with his dad and they figure it out as they go. And I love that he appreciates my input and “allows” me to get my hands dirty too :-)
Doris Johnson says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is an AMAZING contractor. He does it all, and he does it well– floors (hardwood, carpet, tile), painting, finishing carpentry, building and installing things…. He did so much work in my house when my husband and I got married. I don’t know what I’d do without him.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband is how much he loves/isn’t threatened by having two little daughters and me in the house. When other men have given their condolences to him for not having a son, he thinks they’re crazy because he knows our two girls are SO FUN!

What makes my hubby manly is his amazing ability to design/create/build anything (with the help of google of course!)
Laure says
Happy Father’s Day. I was trying to think of a manly quality for my dad, but we’re talking about a man who stuck a metal-tipped screwdriver in a bulb socket. Twice. And has lit the kitchen on fire three times. So.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
ashley says
happy father’s day..
I appreciate that my grandfather (as I do not know my father) will always fix my car when I need it. Even the smallest things to the biggest, he will fix it and get it running again. I know nothing about cars so it is nice to have someone that will change your oil – and remember to do it when you don’t – whenever it is needed.
Rebecca S. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love my Dad, and appreciate how he was there for me ALL the time and provided for the family. He also is very handy and always willing to help me or my husband install/fix things.
Kelsey H says
Happy Father’s Day!!!! My dad is awesome at DIY projects and loves building things – the bigger the better. I have benefited greatly from his endeavors. Love him!!
