***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.
Amanda says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my Dad can fix or build anything. I feel kind of badly – my husband is pretty handy, but not as good as my Dad in that department! (*Daddy’s Little Girl, for SURE)
Felicity says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My Dad is the ultimate DIY-er (no offense guys!). He redid the whole house in hardwood, designed and put in super professional landscaping, designed and built a deck and gazebo (wired for lights!), laid a brick courtyard, built a new bathroom, finished the basement, etc. etc. etc… plus he can fix ANYTHING. I love that he has also taught me (a girl) that I shouldn’t be afraid of all these traditionally male activities. Love you Dad!
Jamie says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My dad rules. My nephew (the oldest grandkid) dubbed him “Happy” and that’s been his name ever since.
Tina says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to both an amazing Dad and husband who can both fix lots of things, I love how they try!
Michele says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
My dad can fix anything, pretty amazing. My husband (and father of my children) cannot. At all. However he CAN grow a serious beard, so, there’s that. :)
Leigh says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
The manliest quality about my hubby is that he can fix anything!

The manliest thing about my dad is how he refuses to put band-aides on when he cuts himself… no matter how badly.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The thing I love most about my dad is his ability to fix just about anything! I mean, the man did just fix all the pipes in my basement!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband’s manliest quality is the way he is strong for me when I’m going through a rough time.
Anne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband is the dudliest dude I know. His best manly quality? He gets down on the floor with our one year old son and romps as long as our toddler wants. He’s an incredibly involved dad!

keely says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Vicki says
Happy Father’s Day!
I LOVE watching my husband play with kids. It makes me really excited for him to be a Daddy to our own children.
Lindsay says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” it’s got to be the strong but silent type that he is. His muscles attracted me but the interesting individual I grew to know kept me. My hubbs is an incredible man for sure :)
Barb says
Happy fathers day!
My husband takes such good care of me probably because I am carrying his child. :)

Happy Father’s Day!
I love how handy my husband is around the house!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! My husband is at his manliest when he’s taking care of our two boys! I’m a sucker for seeing my man drive our minivan, but what I really love is what a good example he sets of how to be a strong and loving man, husband, and dad.
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! I love that my dad is always up for a challenge and will fix anything and everything! And he’s teaching my husband how to do house projects as well! It’s nice to see them bonding over things like that!
Jennifer says
Happy Father’s Day! My hubby can follow assembly directions perfectly… He just finished putting together a massive playset and it looks awesome. I do not have the patience for such tediousness. :)
Whitney says
Happy Father’s Day!!! The manliest thing about my hubby is that he is never embarrassed. He stands by everything he does, whether it’s something he is wearing or playing with the baby. I love him to pieces for that!

My manly husband kills the spiders. :0)

seansmom says
Happy Father’s day!!!! I love my husband! He can fix anything and at the same time, never bats an eye when I insist on taking my favorite Cabbage Patch Kid(I’m a collector) along with us when we travel. How many men do you know of who will stand around holding a doll while his wife shops??????
Julie says
Happy Father’s Day!!! My husband is the most amazing and manliest man I know! I absolutely love his manly stubble, but I think my favorite thing so far is watching him starting to care for our baby!

Marin says
Happy fathers day!
I love watching my husband play with our son. Oh, and swordfight is probably the manliest thing he does!
Michelle F says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
The manliest thing about my husband is his ability to build and fix things around the house, and then lay on the couch in pure exhaustion only to have our four kids jump on him for his attention and no matter how tired he is he showers them with hugs and kisses and attention, it just doesn’t get manlier that that!
Sally says
Happy Father’s Day! He always has our backs.
mary says
happy father’s day! my bf’s manliest trait is when he sits back and watches me build… never get between a girl and her tools!
Homa says
Happy father’s day to all the single moms out there. I always treated myself to a new tool and am doing the same for my daughter.
Amanda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
The manliest thing about my other half is that he can fix anything I break :) Hopefully our son grows up a Mr. Fix-It like his daddy and not disaster prone like his mommy!
Courtney says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad looks super tough; he has tattoos and rides a Harley, but he’s a special needs teacher and is AMAZING with kids. He’s been the best daddy to this little girl and taught me what a real man is.
Johanna says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!
I adore the fact that my husband is already so protective of his little girl, who has not even arrived yet! 2 weeks and counting, and he’s already wrapped around her tiny finger! A good father/daughter relationship is so special! :)
Shannon Welch says
Happy Father’s Day! I love how my husband is so hands-on around the house and with the kids. I could leave town for a week and he would have everything under control!
Megg says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad won’t let his daughters mow the lawn!
Rebecca Li says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My dad is amaze-balls with people. Get him in any room or party and he’ll have them laughing in minutes. :)
lindsay says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! We will celebrate my husband, who is severely tool challenged. But it’s never too late, right? He could strap that tool belt on and surprise all of us!

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” My husband is a super hard worker and can fix everything!
Erin says
