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)

He looks manly/studly/handsome in his uniform!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! This is my brother’s first fathers day and I am very proud of him for stepping up to take care of my beautiful niece!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I lost my father a few years ago, but am grateful to celebrate with my boyfriend’s wonderful father, with whom I love to play golf! :)
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my dad is always able to fix a problem around the house.
Happy Father’s Day! My husband isn’t a dad yet, but he can grow a mean beard!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My grandfather is the kindest person that I know. He is pretty handy with a drill too! If i win he could be albe to help me be handy around my house!!
Thanks!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband is my “doggy daddy” and he’s pretty great at fixing stuff around the house. But I think his manliest quality is actually his love for our two chihuahuas. It takes a real man to love/care for two 7 pound, white, very dainty dogs :)
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is so great around the house. He’s an architect and even if he doesn’t know how to do something at first – he dives right in and figures it out. And he takes his time learning along the way, so it’s always done correctly. I feel lucky to have a handy husband!
Happy Father’s Day!
I most admire the manly quality of patience!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is the greatest fix-it man in the world. Even now he drives 500 miles to help me fix things in my house :)
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
On Father’s Day I celebrate my grandfather and it’s his kindness and patience that I appreciate the most.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I seeing my husband right after he finishs a run – completely sweaty and gross!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my dad is good with his cars and he can build so many things. I wish I could do that : ) Sure would make my life easier! tehe.
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” My husband’s manliest quality as far as I’m concerned is how he has no qualms about doing the dishes after I’ve cooked the meal!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest part is my step-dad’s station at the grill.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I admire the “never give up, it can be done” attitude that was always displayed while growing up.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
He is amazing dad. He is patient, funny, and has a heart of gold. Plus he is super handy and creative. I could go and on and on about my awesome dad.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love the way that my husband can be a manly man, but still gentle with our toddler. It makes my heart melt to see them snuggle together reading books!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!
I am in total awe of my dad’s ability to fix and solve anything. Anything!
And I seriously can’t believe I’m the first to comment lol
Happy Father’s Day! No kids yet, but I love my husband’s home renovation talent. Currently finishing renovating our kitchen – tour down a wall, expanded another opening, and is adding a completely new kitchen!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my hubby is patient (much more patient than me) – it makes him a great project-do-er and a great daddy!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The first manly thing that comes to mind about my husband is his work ethic – he has worked some difficult and crummy jobs to contribute to our family’s stability…and it’s finally paying off!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Manliest thing my husband does is figures out how to fix ANYTHING even though he never grew up learning how to do all of that. Right now, he is in the middle of a bathroom remodel. Other fun fact is this is his FIRST father’s day. Our little one is due the 20th, so hopefully, it will be a great day for him!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My guy’s manliest quality is being such an amazing dad! Nothing says “real man” like a guy braiding his daughter’s hair or cuddling his little girl!
Happy Fathers Day!!! I love it when my husband is working with power tools!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The best quality of my father is his loyalty. A great quality he passed on to all 5 of his children!
Happy father’s day! I’d say the manliest thing about my dad is that when he injures himself every time he tries to do something home improvement, he rarely cries:)
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is the “manliest” man I know because he loves his wife more than anyone else!
Happy Fathers Day!! The “manliest” quality of my dad is the fact that he has volunteered over 40 years for the local fire company, and to this day still is one of the first to show up and last to leave a fire scene.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband’s manliest quality is all his hair all over. Nothing is more manly. ;)
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love how my dad always tries diy first.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love the way my man has a heart for Christ.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My father in law, Daddy John, is the hardest working, most loving, down to earth man I have ever known. He set the bar high, and for that, he is amazing.
(Happy Father’s Day to you, too! Clara has a great daddy!)
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad has his manly moments, but I guess the most recent one was when he tore out my parent’s old kitchen counters himself…shaving several hundred dollars off the cost of the new granite counters he had installed for my mom’s birthday :)
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I just learned that my husband changed is weekend plans to help me set up a party I was hosting at our home. Anytime I need help, he’s always there :-)
Happy Fathers Day!
Well, he has a penis. That’s pretty “manly”. I don’t really go in for gendered characteristics so that’s all I can offer.
happy father’s day! my husband has turned into quite the handy guy since we bought our first home that was in major need of some upgrades.
Happy Father’s Day!!
The manliest quality of my Dad is how unabashedly he loves our family!
“happy father’s day”. The manliest thing my husband does is just to love me and the kids with all his heart.
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is severely lacking in the diy department, but is a fabulous gardener. My DH, on the other hand, used to be a crazy diyer before kids and burn-out. Something about re-wiring, re-plumbing, installing new windows, new kitchen, new bath, etc. may have had something to do with the burn-out.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Seeing my husband dance around the kitchen with our daughter…..it’s so sweet.
Happy Father’s day!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Happy Father’s Day…I like his beard and the fact that he wears chacos as long as he is not at work :)…o and that he bought a matching pink pair for our baby girl!
Happy Fathers Day! The way my father plays with my nephews earns him major man points in my book!
Happy Father’s Day!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My Dad is really great at fixing just about anything, building things and just plain good to have around because he’s always willing to help!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
