***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.

Callie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is manly enough to help my mom revamp shabby chic furniture for her side business. Not all men can handle glass knobs and purple paint, but he makes it look masculine … sort of.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad built a huge wrap-around deck in the back of his house, completely dug up the front stairs and deck in the front of the house, built multiple retaining walls and new stairs, and added about 20-30 different trees to the yard, all with no training and all by himself.

We paid off a total of 110k in student loans!!! And are buying our first home with cash… he really amazes me and has been a great model for me (a reformed shopaholic). He is overall an amazing husband and loving father, I am incredibly lucky!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I know that whenever I get in trouble, my dad is there to help me get out of it. Yes, I haven’t needed it since I outgrew teenage years so long ago, but it’s good to know!
:-)
Ruby says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband, who’s manliest quality is taking care of me & the kids, even if it’s in a non-traditional way. This past week he let me do the drywall project while he held down the fort with our 6 kids. Sounds crazy, but we both needed a break from the routine!

Happy fathers day! The manliest thing about my hubby? He knows how to do anything around the house, including diapers! :)
Eva says
Happy Fathers Day!! The manliest thing about my dad is that he is an old-world kind of man. He still sends my mom flowers for no reason after 40 years of marriage. After a long day at the office, he comes home and tends to his veggie garden. He makes his own wine (which is amazing), marinades his own olives, makes salame and sausages (not because he’s trying to save oney, but because he enjoys it and reminds him of his youth back in Spain). And best of all, he canfix and build anything around the houseor in the yard. From pouring cement, to building a fountain from scratch, to framing out an addition in the house. All this he does as a hobby, as in the day he is a businessman!! The fact that he is ALWAYS doing something, making something orfixing something is super manly! My om lucked out!! :)
Kathy says
Happy Father’s Day!!
I actually leave the manliest thing about my dad is that he is not afraid to show his emotions.
Erica says

katie says
Happy father’s day! My husband is truly a jack of all trades. He does everything well, from cooking to bathing the kiddos to running new plumbing through the house. We are very lucky!

I love my husband because he is willing to be insta-dad to our niece and nephew. Anytime they are around he jumps into the role with ease even though we have no children of our own.
Leah Morris says
The manliest quality my husband has besides his desire to start a family is his promise to install 16 sets of blinds and 3 ceiling fans the first week in our new house in August. We could really use a drill!

Happy Fathers Day!
This year I will be celebrating my father, my soon-to-be father-in-law and the “daddy” of my pups and soon-to-be hubby! They are all very manly in their own ways but most of caring for those they love!

Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my partner is the way he takes our of little ones with compassion, love, and dedication.
Lyn says
Happy Father’s DAy!
The manliest thing about my late father was that he wasn’t ashamed to teach a GIRL about tools and painting. There are so many females who have never done anything handy and don’t think that they can. I’m grateful my father didn’t put those limitations on me, especially since it was in the 1950’s so pretty radical at the time.
Jamie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love to watch my husband doing yard work with our 3 year old son. He’s so patient with him and they have so much fun doing a ‘man’s job’. :)

Happy Fathers Day!
Years ago (almost 50 now) hubby told me he loved me and that he would give his life for me if he ever had to. It is the same to this day, he would give up his life for me……that is true devotion. I would do the same for him.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY… My hubby is an awesome grilled/gardener!

Happy Father’s Day!
My step-dad knows how to fix (almost) everything. For all the things he’s not sure of, he fakes it really well and looks like he knows what he’s doing. This includes house AND life problems :)
