***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.

The manliest thing about my husband is the way he confidently shaves with a straight razor!

Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is a true Renaissance Man! He bakes, gardens, reads, refinishes, trims, hammers and tinkers. He doesn’t drill often for lack of drill, so a drill would be an amazing Father’s Day gift!
Ellen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! The manliest thing about my dad and my new husband is how they are rough & tough on the outside, but their loved ones get to see a completely different side of them.
Katie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! … the manliest thing my husband does for me right now is complete and total support in the trials of trying to become parents. He may not be a father yet by blood but he is going to be a ridiculously great one if the way that he treats the kids in my family and the students he teaches daily is any indication.

Happy Father’s Day. I love it when my husband cooks and when my dad cries!!

Happy Father’s Day!!
My Dad’s a pretty manly guy – he was a Marine and served in the Vietnam war, and he can fix pretty much ANYthing around the house himself. Plus he’s a romantic at heart, always doting on my mom, which is super cute! I really look up to him :)
Noreen says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband (a soon to be dad!) has all these random skills he occasionally busts out. Like when we moved into our house and poured a perfectly level concrete slab. No big deal.

Marie says
Happy Fathers Day! The cutest manliest thing about the hubs is how excited he is about celebrating his first father’s day!
Jeanne says
Happy Father’s Day! Growing up, there wasn’t a thing my dad couldn’t fix or do. Handymen? Electricians? Not in our house. It should come as no surprised that I’ve been married to a man exactly like my father for almost 3 years now. I’m such a lucky lady!
Tracy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! The manliest thing about my husband is his engineering brain and his ability to fix anything. Being a girl who doesn’t appreciate dirt and sweat, I love this a lot.

Aimee Freed says
Happy Father’s Day!
My hubs’ manliest quality is his service to our country in the Air Force. He doesn’t have to do it… he does it because he wants to and because he thinks it’s important. Love that man.
Sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my husband enjoys fixing things and loves tractor pulls, but will also have a tea party or make bracelets with my daughter!

Kerry says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I am celebrating my husband’s FIRST Father’s Day (his fatherhood is two months old) and his manly ways are always charming for me, but, drill related, when we were putting up the shelves that grace the walls of our daughter’s room, he was SUPER concerned about them being as safe and stable as possible. It was so cute to see him step into fatherhood in this moment (it was before she was born). No matter how frustrating it was getting the shelves up with our horrible old drill, he persevered and the shelves look great now (and are stable enough that he can do a pull up on them hahaha). Needless to say, this prize could come in handy for any other jobs that come along! Thanks guys!
Jenna says
Happy Father’s Day! This weekend we will be celebrating my husband. He melts my heart when he plays with, hugs and loves our daughters. That might not seem manly but to me it is the best. and he golfs.
Meg says
HaPPY fATHER’S dAY. He’s unselfish – best quality ever in a man!!
KG says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I am blessed with the absolute most amazing dad. Hard-working, tough, responsible…but caring, gentle and very loving. Now THAT is a manly man!
Megan Carlisle says
Happy Father’s Day! My husbands “manliest” quality would be his Mr. Fix-it’ness. There isn’t a DIY thing the man can’t do…and do well! From ripping his own trim, to rewiring our house – the man is a genius! (PS – Don’t be scared! He’s was a nuke electrician in the Navy, everything is safe on our home front!)
Bianca C. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My grandfather is basically my dad, I love him to death, and watching my grandmother and grandfather together, who have been married since they were 18 and 20 (respectively) and have loved each other every moment, with 6 kids and countless grand kids :) he has shown me how a father should be, in every aspect, and I am simply grateful for him being there for me in everything.
Jordan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad passed away a few years ago, but he was the manliest because of how hard he worked for his family!
My hubby is not yet a dad, but I get glimpses of how compassionate and silly he is as a “father” to our 2 pugs!
Rebecca Melton says
Happy Fathers Day! I love when we take family vacations and my husband grows his beard out completely. :)
Rosie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad’s fishing stories!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! MY DAD IS THE BEST AND CAN FIX EVERYTHING!
Brian says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad can ALWAYS figure something out… whether it means going to the library to get a book, looking on the internet, or he just already knows. He finds out somewhere how to fix that widget!
Christi says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is how he loves hanging with our boys — playing soccer, fishing — all of their favorite things :)
Kimberly Jane says
HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is his ability to fix anything! He also has no shame in buying feminine products for my sister and I (especially if they’re on sale) Even though I’m almost 30, I’ll always be my daddy’s little girl.
Nina says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is how he transforms from an executive in a business suit into a weekend DIYer who isn’t afraid to get dirty!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! This gift is for my hubby from our 8 month old son. The manliest thing about him is that he not only serves our nation in the Army, but he can fix anything car/motorcycle related!
Sarah P says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
For the past two months I’ve watched my dad recover from a stroke and staph infection. I have seen how much courage and determination he really has. We finally got to go home this week! Plus my dad’s birthday falls on Father’s Day this year, so we are having a huge celebration!!!
Sue says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my Dad is that he taught me how to take care of my house, take care of my car, and take care of myself. I like that I can wear bright pink nail polish and heels to work, and then come home and tackle DIY projects at home on my own! Very empowering!
Meghan says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! My dad is the manliest because he would do everything and anything for me and our family!! Taking care of your family is the biggest thing a guy can do to be manly!
