***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!!
My husband’s manliest quality is he’s willing to learn to fix things even though he didn’t learn growing up.
Angela says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
Manliest quality: when my man plays with the kids at our church. So cute!
Jeannette K says
Happy Fathers Day!
I love how my husband is with our kids, he is truly crazy about them and enjoys their company. He is a kind and loving husband so I am a lucky girl.
Alexandria G says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
Dawn says
Happy Father’s Day!
I seriously just told my husband that he is the genetically-engineered offspring of Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford, so I have to say his jaw-line with stubble is my favorite father-part.
Donna says
Happy Father’s Day!
My father is no longer with us, but I remember all the unselfish things he had done for us. My husband has and is still doing the same thing for our children and their families. Happy Father’s Day Tom!!
Beth F. says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is that he is perfectly content to let me do most of the home improvement projects around the house! He helps out by cooking and cleaning up. :)
Paige says
Happy father’s day!
Valerie says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
My father is the greatest man I have ever and will ever know – he is intelligent, compassionate, empathetic, practical, ambitious, dedicated and genuine. I think all of the rolled into one person is pretty manly!
Jeff Patterson says
Well I’m celebrating my Dad because he survived not one but TWO plane crashes. So I’m just lucky to be here since these accidents occurred before my birth. My dad doesn’t remember the incidents but my second cousin told me about the second accident when my father and grandfather crashed a plane into a wooded area. My grandfather carried my dad (who was a teenager at the time) to a farmhouse and when the door was opened they fell through and collapsed on the living room floor.
The story is crazy but true. My grandfather helped train pilots for WWII and they lived near a local airport just north of Pittsburgh in Butler country. Thus, I’m celebrating my Dad and Grandfather’s ability to persevere.
Hope everyone has a great Father’s Day :)
AlyB says
Happy fathers day! My husband is amazing at figuring out how to do things, like excavate a backyard patio by hand, build a shed, refinish beautiful antique doors for our house. Man, that guy can git ‘er done.
Tara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband has talked me into countless DIY projects that I thought were too big for us … with huge payoff! And he’s a great dad to our 13 month old :)
Bekki says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
I love that my husband is mister tough and dirty plumber by day, and soft, squishy, loveable Daddy when he’s home. The guys at work would never believe it!
Ashley says
Happy Fathers Day! I think being a great dad is super manly.
Rachel says
Happy Father’s Day!
There’s nothing more manly than being a family man. My husband stays at home with our kids 2 days a week while I am at work, works hard at his job day in and day out, and still has time for projects around the house! He deserves a wonderful Father’s Day!
Mandi says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!
I don’t have a Dad, but I am lucky enough to have an Uncle Kenny! HE is the manliest man I know. He can fix anything, and make the most beautiful furniture I have ever seen. He’s the bees knees!
Holly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my husband and 6 month old daughter smile at each other when he walks in the room. True Dad love!
Weezie says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband can fix anything–he takes his time taking stuff apart so he can fix it and put it back together. Two weekends ago he fixed a duette shade that would not raise or lower. He’s awesome!
Katharine says
Happy fathers day!
My husband does all of the work on our cars. It’s fun for him and saves us a fortune.
Carrie P says
Happy Father’s Day! Our dog is giving her “daddy”, my boyfriend, some car stuff to celebrate. I love that he keeps both of our cars running perfectly, fixes anything in the house that goes wrong, and that he loves the dog like a daughter.
Monica Gerlach says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! The manliest thing about my husband is that even though he is gone the majority of the time (active duty Navy) he does a great job of balancing the time he’s at home between his family and his projects on our house. He has missed over 6 months of the past year but still found time to build a retaining wall, backyard fire pit, install new garage doors, paint multiple rooms in the house, build basement storage, and much more!!
Isabel says
I was blessed to have 2 fathers. The one that Raised me and the one that gave me life. Even though I would love to win this I will not give it to my father if i do, I’ll keep it for me!!! it’s a beauty! plus a gift card to home depot will be great since my husband and i just moved into our own apartment for the first time.
Katie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! Seems like he can do/fix pretty much anything around the house!!
Meghan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
We’ll be celebrating my husband’s first Father’s Day with our 5 month old son. The manliest thing about my husband is watching him help with our son and talk and dream about how he’s going to raise a man.
Lindsey says
Happy Father’s Day! I love hearing my husband singing over the baby monitor as he rocks our daughter to sleep…melts my heart!
Mike says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I admire my dad’s ability to be able to finish or help out with projects around the house even when the “right” tools or materials aren’t on hand.
Shelly says
Happy Father’s Day!!
My fiance and I need to finish our stairs-the stairs from our first floor to our second floor, where our bedroom is!! Every other stair is not screwed in and SOMEONE (not me) could use the motivation of a new tool and a gift card to get his butt moving on that VERY important project that needs to be completed!
Thank you!!
Mike S says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The Manliest thing about my dad is his ability to figure out any problem thrown at him.
Allyson says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I’ll be spending my weekend with my mom, but I guess her “manliest” quality would have to be her stubbornness and determination, which I was lucky enough to inherit. ;)
Jules says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. My dad has always worked hard to provide for his family. He’s 78 and still works part time and has a huge garden. I love him dearly.
Gina H. says
Happy Father’s Day!!
I love that my dad knows how to fix ANYTHING. Maybe someday I’ll know as much as him!
Julie Kelly says
Happy Father’s Day!
Faith says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is super manly when he builds furniture for me (or anyone else, but mostly for me).
Beth B. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! It has always seemed to me that my dad can do anything – from yard work, house work, fixing the car…to packing my lunches and helping me with spelling words when I was a kid. Gotta love him!
Amanda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband is when he took over all the housework…including laundry…while I was in graduate school! It made life around here so much easier!
Katie says
HSPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my dad always knows the cheapest and most efficient way to shop at Home Depot!
Gina H. says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad can fix anything!
KellyHGF says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad can grow a garden in the worst conditions. And, if its good soil and sunny, his garden RUNNETH over!
Melissa B. says
Happy Fathers Day! The manliest quality about my pops is his ability to grow a killer mustache!
Krista says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my husband is willing to learn how to do projects around the house rather than just paying someone to do them. And I love that my dad is often the one to help show him how!
Laura O says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY: As for my husband, I love the way he can make my son laugh until he cries. Their bond is beyond my comprehension and I’m a better person for being able to witness such love.
As for my father, I think the manliest thing about him is his endless need to support his family. My father will work tooth and nail to provide for his family. My father always makes sacrifices for “his girls.” He is amazing.
Kristen says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my dad is his ability to fix things without directions (and to somehow know how to fix pretty much anything)!
Brianne says
Happy Father’s Day Ya’ll!!
The manliest thing my father does is how he can fix or build anything and he doesn’t mind teaching my less-than-handy husband.
Kelsey says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! The manliest thing about my hubby is that he doesn’t mind being “unmanly” while playing with our daughter!
Lindsay says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is the fact that he’s a solid rock for our family. No matter what we’re going through (having two houses on the market for 8 months, having a wife on bedrest for 3.5 months, having a preemie in the NICU for a month…) he stands strong and carries our whole family through. We love him so much, and we’d love to let him go roam around Home Depot for Father’s Day! :)
Rosheen says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is how much he loves our daughter.
Sandra says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! It’s really manly the way my kids daddy is totally obsessed with sports… esp. Alabama Football.
Kelly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! This year will be a little more sentimental than years past. My grandfather passed away a few months ago and it has broken my father’s heart. So we decided to throw a picnic…calling all dad’s (and their families)!!!! We figured the more love that surrounded my dad this year the better off he will be!!!!
Cheri says
Happy Father’s Day! I love my husband’s willingness to tackle just about anything…and he does look very sexy with a close-trimmed beard. :-)
