***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!
The “manliest” thing about my dad is how he can use non-tools as tools (ie: meat cleaver to hack through some bushes, ha ha!)
Haley says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad’s manliest quality is his ability to show affection to his children and grandchildren. He is a big southern man’s man but when it comes to his family he melts. I am blessed to have such a wonderful father.
Sam says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
My husband rocks a very manly beard, AND h always take out the garbage for me.
Jessica says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Melanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
He’s big and tough and burly… but gentle and sensitive enough to gather up and raise baby ducks until they’re big enough not to be snacks for sea gulls. Love that combo.
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband becoming a first time dad!
Laurel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!

Katie says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is an amazing dad, which makes him the best kind of man there is.
Shelley @ Green Eggs and Hamlet says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I’ll be celebrating my dad and his manliest quality is probably his lifelong commitment to exercise. He’s 63 and still runs 5 miles per day. Go Dad!
Deidre says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My father was a SWAT cop. Major cool dad points, just not with my high school boyfriends.
Karen C. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my husband makes our little girl laugh!
Jill L. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! I have two men I will be celebrating in my life…my husband, who is 3 months away from being a first time father. His manliest trait is he can fix anything. The second is my father, who’s manliest trait is the fact that he would do anything for his kids and grandkids.
taysha riggs says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The “manliest” quality of my Dad is his car knowledge… as a kid I never visited a car wash or saw anyone else have their head under the hood of our cars… darn me for moving 3k miles away from that knowledge…
Amanda S. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my father is how protective he is of his family.
Kari @ Human, MD says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is VERY… he can fix or build anything!
Christa Aaron says
Happy Father’s Day!
Kathy Z says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is his drive. He’s always been a hard worker and at 59.5 sometimes still pushes himself for 24 hours of work. He’s a full time+ electrician and keeps 500 bee hives in his “spare” time.
Sabrina says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband certainly sweats like a man.
Christina says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband really can fix things, not quasi-fix things. I love it.
Pam says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
It’s my husband’s FIRST father’s day! I think one of the manliest things he does is that he cooks dinner so I can spend more time with our son after a long day of work! He’s the best!
amy says
Happy Father’s Day.
I admire my dad being able to take anything and make it fun. My sister and I especially love reminiscing about past road trips with the family. There was never a dull moment with dad at the wheel.
kathy from ct says
Happy Father’s Day
He can fix anything – from a broken heart (2 daughters) to a squeaky door.
Anna says
Happy father’s day!! Not only is my husband the love of my life, but he is awesome about cleaning around the house, which always earns tons of bonus points for him with me!
NIcole says
Happy Father’s Day! Even though my hubby and I don’t have children just yet, he’s the best Dad to our two adorable dogs! Seeing the love he can show those furbags really melts my heart. Our future babies will be on love overload :)
Kylie m says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
I love how wonderful my husband is with our son. He is such a great Dad!
darla says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manly thing I appreciate about my husband is he is very tenderhearted towards kids. When they are brave or hurting, he is always touched by them. I think a man has to be very manly to allow others to see his tender emotions :)
Arli says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my dad is that he is never scared to be his unique, slightly different-from-everyone else (and the norm) self. He just marches to his own tune and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. But he is one of the most thoughtful, kind,generous and genuine people I ever came across.
Mary says
Happy Father’s Day!! My husband is handy, great with the kids, and has an amazing sense of direction–he is never lost!
Christen says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!! probably what I love most about my hubby is his willingness to tackle any project I throw at him:) If he doesn’t know, he doesn’t back down:)
Ryan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY My husband can fix anything I break : )
Alison says
Happy Fathers Day!
This year, I’m celebrating Fathers Day, for myself. I’m a single mother, who has no manly man in her life. I have a stepstool, a small set of tools, and have had to get rid of my fear of bugs. I do it all, baby! I’m proud of myself for stepping up to the plate, doing what needs to be done, and teaching myself new skills. I’m pretty awesome, and I could really use an awesome drill to round out my awesome tool box! Happy Fathers Day to everyone who rocks at parenting, no matter what gender you are!
Allison B says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband took our yard from brown to very green in just two weeks! I also love that he plays with our little boy like he is his best friend!
Christine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest, and what I consider the sexiest, thing about my husband and father to my three children is his ability to be the most patient and caring father I know. I am not close to my father, but seeing my husband interact with our two sons and daughter is priceless. Our daughter truly is ‘his Daddy’s girl’.
threadbndr says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
My son is such a great dad. He’s so patient with the little man (who is turning three this month). I can remember my son at that same age following my dad and husband around – now he’s the one with the pint-sized shadow.
Sarah says
happy fathers day!
I WISH I was spending father’s day with my dad, but with 2,500 miles between us there will be no such luck :-( That being said I’ve never met anyone who works harder than him (ahhh… the life of a farmer)
Megan G says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The manliest quality of my husband is his insane knowledge of cars. Considering I don’t know anything about our vehicles, I am so glad he is in my life to fix everything!
angela says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my dad is willing to take on any project that needs to get done, whether it’s at his own home or at one of us kids’ house.
Kerry says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s “manliest” quality is that he knows how to do EVERY home improvement project/repair that I’ve suggested as well as many other projects that I am not even able to define!
Sara says
Happy Fathers’ Day!
I love the way my husband reads to my son.
Kim @ girlevolving says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband always protects me and looks out for me.
steph says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband can grow a beard faster than a chia pet.
Mary says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! Maniliest- has to be when my dad fixed my car Macgyver style, with his shoelace to get me home (a 7 hour drive) and seeing my hubby wrestle with our little boy. Covers everything!! Thanks for a chance to win, and Happy Fathers day to YOU too John!!
Christine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my dad is his ability to provide for our family. He would love this prize!

Catherine M says
Happy father’s day!
Audrey says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Mimi says
Happy Father’s Day. I’d have to say my husband’s manliest quality is how he is a great role model for my girls putting God, family and country first. :)
Roxanne R. says
Happy Father’s Day!
Both my father and father in law can fix ANYTHING. It’s pretty amazing, actually.
stephanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love my husband’s guitar skills, DIY mentality with things around the house, and how hardcore he is when it comes to athletics.
