***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! My dad and husband are both pretty level-headed, sensible, and true to themselves. They are great fathers. Thanks for holding this contest!
Frances says
I didn’t have the closest relationship with my dad growing up. I decided at the age of 25 to try to resolve that, and made a new year’s resolution to learn how to fly fish–his favorite past-time and something that had never been interesting to me. I had to ask him to take me out, had to ask to borrow his equipment, had to ask him to show me how, had to ask him to teach me, and most of all, had to ask him to be patient. Our relationship is still growing, but I think the thing that I most appreciate about my father is how much he loves to share what he loves and knows with people, and it was not until he was teaching me to fish that I could recognize that.

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
My Dad’s been gone for 35 years. But, his birthday would have been the 20th of this month … the BIG 100 .. I still remember.
My Dad was a chemist … he made the colors to dye carpets with. He taught me the colors of the rainbow. I learned how to recognize life’s rainbows because of him. I even chose the Hebrew word for rainbow as my nickname … Keshet.
I was a true “Daddy’s Girl”. I’m most like him. I learned my love of reading from him. I learned how to cope from him.
BUT, I learned how to fix stuff from my Mom. That’s why I need the drill :LOL:
