***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 love it when my hubby carries our daughter on his shoulders. I can’t do it (or am afraid to), but she loves it so much!
Christina Prehn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is his unconditional love and willing to do anything for his children! That’s a real man.
Meredith K A says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love how my husband can fix almost anything himself, including our new daughter’s bottles & diapers :-)
Laura says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is how he totally takes care of the food in our household. He’s an amazing cook (thank you Alton Brown!), and he feeds us and our two children both lunch and dinner every day. He works from home, so it’s not too hard. But I am a SAHM, so it’s extra sweet that he does it for us as it’s not my cup of tea.
Amanda says

I love my dad’s do-it-yourself spirit and that he teaches me along the way :)

CodyJ says
Happy Father’s Day!!
Hmm…My manly husband is a sucker for little girls…and that seems to be a quality lots of men share, so I’ll call it manly :)
Brandy says
Happy Father’s Day!
I have to give shout out to my brother. He isn’t a Father, but he’ll be a great one someday (even if kids freak him out a little now). He’s the most dedicated, determined person I know. Plus he worked for 5 years as a mover so he can lift ANYTHING!
Kristen T. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My manly man is always ready to explore…he will take the kids anywhere and loves to teach them about animals and animal tracks. My daughter is 4 and loves learning ‘tracks’ with dad!
Cady says
I would say my Dad’s manliest quality is his awesome grilling ability. Mmmmmm.
Cady says
OOPS! And HAPPY FATHER”S DAY!

Katie says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is the manliest when he is sporting the baby bjorn….so sexy.
Kate says
Happy fathers day!
My dad can do anything. I envy his generation that believes they can do it themselves. I recently lost my job so $ is tight and I’d love to be able to give this to him.

Deborah says
Happy Father’s Day!!! The manliest thing about my guy is his ability to customize vintage cars. He’s currently restoring and customizing a 1941 Ford Coupe and it’s looking amazing! I’m in awe of his skills when it comes to envisioning something, then cutting, welding, sanding, etc. to make it come to life.
Megan says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
He hunts;)
Melissa says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband right now is he has been spending weekends for the past couple months removing, fixing, and re-installing the transmission + related parts in his Camaro. Lots of dirty, greasy, hard work, but it’s finally done, so he’s super happy.
Thao says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
I love how manly my husband is when he would rather stay home to change the baby’s diaper and build Lego sets with our 5 and 9 yr old boys than do anything else. Despite growing up with an absent father, he is a great one to our 3 kids. We are so lucky to have him! :)

Kylie D. says
Happy Fathers Day. I lost my dad 2 years ago, but i will be celebrating his legacy and my soon-to-be-father-in-law this weekend at a family picnic. The manliest things about him include his genuine desire to teach his son all the things he knows, his handyman skills and the whiskey he sips from time to time.
Grete says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

dm says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
Kate S. says
Happy Father’s Day!! I love that my husband is macho enough to play with dolls with our little girl. He’s handy and athletic, etc… but seeing him drink fake tea makes him a real man in my eyes!
Mrs. Le Brell says

My dad is manly because he is an amazing emotional supporter to my sister and I!

Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is not only does he love his our child, he truly loves my nieces and nephews like they were his own children. He has such a big heart and it only continues to grow as our family does. Now that is a real man in my book!
Brittany says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad gets manly points for living in a house with three women/girls. Now since my sister and I have moved out it has decreased the ratio but I’m not sure how he lived with all of that estrogen for so many years!
