***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!!!
Jessi says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My hubby isn’t a father, yet (except to our pups!), but whatevs…. he counts! His manliest quality that he works 12 hour days at his suit-and-tie job and then comes home and turns into Mr. Blue Collar– mowing, building, repairing, etc.. Best of both worlds. ;-)
Carrie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. My dad is a DIY pro (and has been well before DIYing was cool :). He’s gutted and completely rewired (yes, to code!), drywalled, and plumped every house but one that he’s lived in.
Ryan says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The manliest quality about my hubby is what a great father he is to our little boy!
Doug says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I LOVE my dad, He turned 80 this past year but still can do a bunch of stuff around the house. He taught me all I know about being frugal and fixing stuff myself! Love you dad!!!
Gretchen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Love his care for our yard, always wanting to get out and cut, water, weed. Looks great!
Lauren says
Happy Fathers Day! My dad is manly becuase he GETS THINGS DONE! No procrastinating for him! If it’s broke, fix it! If you don’t like it, change it!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My dad owns a contracting company and has been a whiz helping me makeover the condo I recently bought. Hardwood floors go in tomorrow!
amy c says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
my dad is super handy, fix-it, builder, etc but i think the thing that makes him most manly is how great a dad he is.
Sarah S. says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad can pack cars, moving trucks, suitcases, etc like a mad man! Over the many years of moving around (2nd generation military family) I’ve watched him refine his skills and it still amazes me how much he can fit into one car.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Yesterday we had a party for my dad’s 80th birthday. He wanted to give a speech. In it he went one by one through his grandchildren who had special honors this month- making them stand up and singing their praises. Then he went through all the recent birthdays. And on. The way that man loves his family and enjoys them and is proud of them…. that’s the manliest (and most inspirational) thing I could imagine.

Happy Father’s Day
Karla schaitberger says
Happy fathers day. I am hoping gifting tools will help my husband finish the honey-do list!!!
kariskari says
“Happy Father’s Day!”
My grandaddy’s handyman abilities. He can fix–or rig–anything.
Julie says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest physical thing about my husband is his deep voice. So sexy, though I’ve begun to take it for granted over the past 10 years!
The true manliest thing about him is how adoring he is of our 16 month old daughter, and how he will do anything for her, and how his patience has grown immensely since she was born. It takes a real man to make damn good pigtails.
Samantha says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
One of the best things about my dad is how well he deals with being surrounded by women on all sides (even the dog’s a girl). He is awesome at understanding us strange creatures, and doing all of the man jobs (such as bug slaying) by himself.
Sami says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My honey and I do not have any kids yet. But the other day I said “my kids” (as in talking about future kiddos) and he corrected me and said “you mean our kids” It melted my heart. So I’ll be celebrating having a partner who is equally committed to having a family…one day :)
MaryKate says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is an amazing father to our girls! We are so lucky!
Emily says
Happy Fathers Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is his love for all sports. His job does allow him to keep it casual so he always has a little bit of stubble which I think is pretty darn cute…..
Andria says
HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY! I love that my husband is not only amazing (especially with fixing and building things), but that he’s happy to teach it all to me!
Phoebe says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is his support and love for his daughters!
Raeann Munoz says
Happr Father’s Day!
THe quality I admire most in my dad is his work ethic. He has always been the hardest worker I’ve known and I try to take after him in that aspect.
Sara R says
Happy Father’s Day! I used to admire how manly my husband was cause he was so handy around the house and could build anything….now he melts my heart every time I see him playing with our 11 month old.
Courtney says
My dad can fix anything you put in front of him!
Sarah J. says
Happy Father’s Day!
It’s got to be the DIY gene ;)
Kristin R says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband’s mustache is pretty manly… and I love watching him mow the lawn!
Steph B says
Happy Father’s Day! Love that my hubs is a master griller, and always has time for our little guy!
Kristy B says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad’s a pilot–and there’s nothing manlier (or cooler!) than flying airplanes!
Sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My Dad is still one of the strongest people I know.. just don’t tell my husband that!
Jamie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is he can fix anything!
Faythe says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is the knower of useless facts. He is also the best husband and father in the world.
Kati says
Happy Father’s Day!! My husband is a technician, and can fix about anything, but I love how he can sit there and get his hair brushed and nails painted by our daughter!
Courtney says
Oops- I forgot to say HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Laura H. says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband who’s growing the best backyard garden this year! Thanks to his knowledge we’ll be enjoying lots of homegrown food this coming summer and fall. :)
Sarah S. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My husband is amazing, he can memorize all the boys Beyblades and their special moves and then transition right into braiding our daughter’s hair. I love that man!!
Katie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad can fix anything!
Nikki G says
Happy Fathers Day!!
I’m so impressed with my hubby’s ability to fix things and do projects around the house. He recently renovated a bathroom, to include tearing down and rebuilding walls, cutting into and re-pouring concrete after moving the toilet drain and installing a shower drain, building a shower base, tiling, drywalling – everything except installing the glass shower doors (which we left to the pros since they were so expensive and we didn’t want to break the glass or something)!
Elizabeth says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Sue says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband opens the car door for me and walks on the outside (closest to the moving cars) when we’re in a parking lot. So sweet!
Heidi says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
Love my husband’s way with little kids. They’re just drawn to him.
Celine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Natalie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest quality of my step-dad is his ability to grill! haha :)
Katie Rose says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is the kind of guy who always seems to know how to do everything! He never has to look up instructions online or ask anyone else for help. Refrigerator not working right? Bushes refusing to flower? Don’t know what stock to invest in? Somehow he just knows!
Shannon says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! He’s just the daddy best ever.
Britney says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband can fix anything…or at least find out how to fix anything from the internet! :)
HeatherL says
Happy father’s day!
I love that my hubby is manly enough to mow the lawn, fix things around the house, etc. but is such a good and sensitive daddy too :)
Lindsay says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is that he is incredible at what he does but is so humble about it. That’s hot!
