***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.

The manliest thing about my dad is is dedication to gender equality. He just sent me the Lilly Ledbetter book, telling me that it was an inspirational read. It takes a real man to understand and undermine the patriarchy, and being a father of daughters helps!
Vanessa says
Happy father’s day!!!
You know how in Six Days Seven Nights, Anne Heche and Harrison Ford are arguing about the landing gear, and she asks him if he’s one of “those guys”…those you send “into the wilderness with a pocket knife and a Q-tip and they build you a shopping mall”? Well my dad is DEFINITELY one of those guys!

jessi says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad’s manliest trait is his willingness to protect my mom’s honor, by scaring away the bunnies that eat her vegetable garden! Her knight in shining armor, for sure

Lauren says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad acts like a big goofball, but he always pays attention to what people like, then surprises them with it. This usually takes the form of cooking or baking for them, but I’ve gotten a couple of birthday presents that were things I had admired, but didn’t ask for. He’s happiest when he knows he’s made the people around him happy. :)

Claire says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is a father for the first time this year! Of course, seeing him as a daddy is just about the best thing ever. But “manliest”… I guess it’d have to be how much work he does around our house! Always tackling something new!… something you’re familiar with no doubt.
Carla says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love how my husband is trying to teach our son to apreciate music as much as we do. One day that kid will be at MSG yelling “Bruuuce!”
Kristen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Growing up, I loved that my Dad always tried really hard to make/build/fix things himself (even if he wasn’t that good at it!) :) But, he’s a hard worker, and is such a good sport, which is really what matters. I know he’d love this man card & drill!
Jackie says
Happy Father’s Day!! I love that my dad is great with yardwork! He still does mine once every couple weeks.
Laura C. says
Happy Father’s Day! I think the manliest thing about my dad (along with the other men in my life) is his innate ability to repair anything and simultaneous inability to find something that is literally right in front of him. :-) One of life’s greatest mysteries! Thanks for the giveaway!
Sandra says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Allyson M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband’s manliest quality- spending time with our daughter and being super silly! There’s nothing like watching your husband let go of the “office attitude” and roll around on the bed with your daughter! :)
