***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!!
I looooove that my dad has always been able to maintain and fix our cars. I have never taken my car to a mechanic because my dad loves to work on them. My son, who is 6, loves to “help” him now, which makes for great bonding time between the two (:

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband and father of my children is his ability to stay calm when danger arises. Case in point, we got into a huge car accident last summer and my hubby kept all of us calm and laughing even as we dangled upside down until help came.

The manliest thing about my husband is his new found love of woodworking. This would be perfect for him.
Chelsea says
Happy Father’s Day!!
My guy’s manliest quality would probably be that he is unbelievably willing to go out of his way for me. He works so hard, but is never too tired to surprise me at work with dinner or write me a sweet note. We’re having our first baby next January & he’s keeping me calm & peaceful (as much as I let him) for all the first-time parent jitters.
Elizabeth says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
This is my husband’s first father’s day (our son is 2.5 months old). I love watching him work around the house – he’s very handy!
Melissa Breau says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest trait of my guy? Definitely that he lifts heavy things for fun. And by heavy, i mean he competes in Strongman, so lifting cars, heavy stones, etc.
On anther note, this would be AMAZING to win because the his drill is dying. The battery now lasts about 5 minutes before it needs a recharge. So a new one is much called for and, since we JUST moved into our new place, money has been focused on other things….
Taryn says
Happy Father’

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Can my husband’s manliest quality be his amazing ability to snort/”hawk(hock?) a loogie”? Allergies are bad this year, and he’s sure good at doing that…unfortunately

Erin says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my dad and husband are how between the two of them, they can fix (or “fix”) anything in the house, yard, car, etc… Also, the vast wealth of useless knowledge is pretty great too!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that even though my uncle is a business executive making six figures, he has a passion for doing things with his hands and taking on DIY projects around the house. Hats off to men who aren’t too “big” to get their hands dirty!
