***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!
Jen says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is his ability to give our son a bath and check the baseball game at the same time. Love it!
Casey says
Happy Father’s Day! Among my husband’s many manly qualities, the manliest (to me) is his massive collection of useless wires/cables. Also, he makes my breakfast, packs my lunch and cooks dinner every single day – very manly indeed!
Stephanie R. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad can build anything! He’s constantly making trips to Home Depot for supplies.
Aimee says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is how he obsesses over the lawn, garage, and basement. Who cares how much junk he piles on the kitchen island! ;-)
Emily says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
He is Mr. Prepared!
Kayleen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my husband can fix just about anything, build furniture, do the yard work, and still helps with all the “inside” chores! AND, his drill broke this weekend…he really needs a replacement!
Cathy says
The manliest thing about my husband is he doesn’t care about being manly or how manly other people think he is. I love his confidence!
Jonelle says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
My husband isn’t the handiest of men, but he really does try with everything he does. I also love watching him with our daughter – melts my heart every time!
Stacy says
Happy Fathers Day!
My husbands most manly quality is his ability to pick up the phone and call someone else to do the work.
Alexa F. says
Happy Father’s Day!
Oooh!
We just became parents of two young ducks and we’ve been designing and building their duck house and pen and this would be VERY handy. Seeing my fella cuddling with a cute duckling? Adorable! Seeing him walk around the yard with two rapidly-growing ducks at his heel? Super cute!
Nicole Puckett says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
My husband is manly in every way I can think of… but mostly in his desire to take care of his family, who love him very much
Alissa says
Happy father’s day!
My Dad is a total provider, always looking for ways to help my sister and me. The first time my husband & I had him over at our new house, he was coming up with ways he could help us make our tiny little yard area into our own little urban oasis (he owns his own landscape/irrigation company). I think he is more excited about it than we are!
Felicia Adams says
HAPPY Father’s Day. The manliest thing about my father is that he can cook absolutely anything in a dutch oven. He is amazing.
Jess says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad always has an idea about how to fix something!
Chelsea says
Happy Fathers Day! My dad just moved into a new house and needed to build himself a 1 car garage to keep all his tools… The next weekend when i came over it was done.
Jessica says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I can’t wait to see my hubby become a dad when our little man gets here. His manliest quality? His DIY skills. Also his stubble. I love it ;)
Liz says
My dad is a whiz at woodworking.
Kathy says
Happy Father’s Day!!
I love the way my Dad could and can fix anything! And I’ve felt that way since I can remember :).
Sarah E. says
Happy father’s day!
My dad’s manliest quality is his no-shame attitude toward baking. The man has a famous biscuit recipe (to die for if you’re a southern girl like me) and makes a mean apple crisp. He also will whip up a batch of cookies or blueberry muffins whenever you ask, as long as he gets to eat at least half of them! Just reading this, it sounds pretty girly, but my dad owns it and is proud of his skills in the kitchen. Super manly if you ask me!
Kelly L. says
Happy Father’s Day!
We’ll be celebrating my husband! Our 4 year daughter thinks he can fix anything and she’s right! He’s such a smart guy and if he doesn’t know how to fix it or build it or wire – he’ll research and study it until he figures it out! I love him for that and many other reasons…and I love that our girls think he hung the moon!
Thank you for what you do!
Jennifer S. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
This Father’s Day I want more than anything to make it super special for my Dad. He has always been there for me and my brothers, he’s the best Papa to my kids and I love him with all my heart. He’s battling throat cancer and it’s been so hard on him and my Mom. Earlier this year part of their fence fell down during a storm and this would be perfect for my brothers and I to use to fix it for them. I love you Dad!
Jennifer Roberts says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband has been a home improvement rockstar these past few days. We are trying to get our home on the market ASAP, and just as we were getting started with painting, I came down with the flu. He has taken over, and the house is looking great.
Sara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Robin says
Happy Father’s Day!
What I miss most about my dad is his child like excitement over all things Husker!
Jennifer says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is NOT handy at all, and would much rather hire someone to do everything! However, my husband who is a ‘father-to-be’ come November is the handiest! I’m sure this would be a welcome addition to his tool shed!
Meg says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I’m celebrating my dad who taught me how to properly swing a hammer and hold a paint brush.
Melanie W says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to my amazing husband of 12 years! The manliest thing about him is his ability to stay calm and think clear even with 5 kids while he is in dental school. He’s made a lot of sacrifices for our family and I’m proud of him!
Justine V says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is my hero – and is more than willing to drop what he’s doing to help me with my latest DIY adventures with my house. I consider myself lucky to have such an awesome dad!
Molly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Manliest quality about my dad? It’s probably that he always wanted me to be able to do anything I want (sports, dance, school, etc).
Karyn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My hubby lives and breathes sports – from his work to his hobbies!
Jackie says
Happy Father’s Day!!
The manliest quality about my husband is his ability to “try” and fix just about anything, and he is pretty good on the grill too!!
meerasedai says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Claire says
Happy Father’s Day!! The manliest thing about my husband is that he’s willing to tackle any DIY project with gusto as well as play on the floor with our 9 month old. So sweet to watch!
Nichole says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband’s manliest quality: being the kids’ and my protector. My Dad’s: showing he genuinely cares about what’s going on in my brothers’ and my lives. My father-in-law’s: giving the shirt off his back if someone needs it.
Karla says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My father loooooooooved cooking and shopping? Manly? I think so!
Jenna says

Happy father’s day!
My dad is a human gps!

My hubby can put together anything!!! :)
Rebecca says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
No celebrating with “father’s” in my life this weekend, but thanks for the reminder to send out cards to my dad (who is actually in Germany&Italy so he’ll get it in 2 weeks), my grandpa, my godfather (who coincidentally is also in Italy but will be back soon), my brother and my cousin’s husband who is a new dad.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY
My husband manliest quality is when he kisses our boys. He melts me everytime
MJB says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband will brave the coldest days (in Minnesota that’s saying a lot) to warm up the car or run an errand for me. He even walks out in the snow barefoot to get the paper or bring out the trash.
Jamie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Marcie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband rates as pretty manly in my book by being a great father, a wonderful husband and all around handyman. He’ll do anything from washing dishes and cooking to fixing cars, doing home repairs and carrying heavy boxes up four flights of stairs to dorm rooms (and down again at the end of the school year)! Our family is very lucky and appreciative to have him.
Jessica says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my hubby is the way he tinkers and can fix anything. Anything, really. He’s always got some tool/glue/spare part that’ll do the job.
Jacob says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Jenni says
happy father’s day!
Julie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! The most admiring quality about my dad is how he taught his daughter (me) math and intelligence from day one (not to brag though!). Thanks to him, I am a strong woman and know that I can hold my own intellectually anywhere.
Michelle says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my dad is that he can fix just about anything. He took apart and reassembled anything he could get his hands on as a kid. He is especially good at fixing cars.
Jennifer says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
I love that my Dad raised me to be anything I wanted even if it was manly. I decided to be an Engineer, which is just fine with him!
