***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! The manliest thing about my dad is his problem solving abilities. We just moved into a 1920s house and are quickly discovering many quirks. A phone call to my dad always results in advice and often a visit from him to help out!
Elise says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is that he always considers my point of view and really listens to what I have to say.
Monica C says
Oh this would be a difficult decision between my wonderful husband or my dear little brother. My brother is single and says he doesn’t want any kids but he treats his twelve nieces and nephews like they are his own. On the other hand, my wonderful husband and father of our two young boys is my best friend. He is an unbelievable role model not just to them but to several of the neighborhood kids. Maybe, they could split it! Thanks! Happy Father’s Day!
Jenna says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is so manly when he play with our kids!

Happy Father’s Day!
Everything about my husband is manly! Especially when he is doing dishes, folding laundry, grocery shopping, changing diapers, reading bedtime stories, lending a supportive ear/shoulder, and making our two boys eyes light up when he walks in the door!
Sara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I am so thankful for all the handy men in my life. I grew up assisting my grandfathers, dad, and uncles with many fit-it projects. I find great satisfaction in being able to fix so many things myself- and way more than my boyfriend, but don’t tell him that ;-)
Lauren says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” What I find manliest about my husband is watching him throw his manhood out the window for our little girls. It’s when I see him doing the hula hoop, using a hair straightener or squeezing in a little Dumbo plane ride because he can’t resist ” puh-lease daddy”
Kelsey says
Happy Father’s Day!
I just love my dad :)
Jami says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad’s manliest quality is not being afraid to hang with the girls–his wife and four daughters, that is.
My man’s manliest quality is not being afraid to hang with the girls while also giving my dad the son he never knew he wanted. They’re both the best :)

My dad can fix anything. And he’s also good at reading directions.
Jessica says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my dad is how he is good at everything he does. Same with my hubby–what is it with men instinctively knowing how to do everything?!
Anna Toomey says
Happy Father’s Day! We are celebrating our first Father day this year, as I am due on aug. 9. I love how he comes up with some project to build, and actually does it. So many people just talk about what they could do, but my guy get’s it done. I also love seeing him build his tool collection, we live at home depot, the clerks have literally seen my belly grow as well as my doctor has!!
Abby Walters says
Happy Father’s Day!!!!
Celebrating my father, he is the manliest man I’ve ever met. Raised me since I was nine, and has never had any qualms with stepping up to the plate. He works hard every day to be the protector and provider.. If there was a zombie apocalypse, he’d be the first person on the way with all the supplies and weapons needed to kick butt. Haha
Katie says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband tries so very hard to do repairs around the house, but it usually falls onto my father’s “Daddy Do List” when he comes to visit. Bless my hubby’s sweet heart. He does try!

Brooke says
Happy Fathers Day! My husband and I are lucky enough to have 3 dads who are so incredibly helpful threw the process of us buying our first house and fixing it up. I have no idea what I could ever do or give them to show how appreciated they are.
Jen R says
Happy Father’s Day! Love that my dad knows how to fix just about anything.
Charlene says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest quality that my dad exhibits is being able to throw pretty much anything over his shoulder and haul it around like nothing. Some examples: Children, Lumber, 2 car garage doors… It’s ridiculous.
Melissa says
Happy Fathers Day!
christine says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
I love that my dad is so handy! But sometimes it goes a bit extreme! He always seems to start his biggest projects right around big life events! His latest… pulling down all wall paper in house and repainting 2 weeks before my wedding! :) I love him regardless!
Laura says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband and I are expecting our first child and I’m going to surprise him by celebrating Father’s-to-be Day! I love that he is just as crazy about DIY decorating our house as I am and he allows me the freedom to change my mind about house decisions as often as I want :)
