***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’m celebrating my dad’s manly love of the outdoors, hiking, camping, and fishing.
MichelleR says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband builds (pretend) rocket ships and flies to the moon with our daughter. That’s pretty manly in my book!
Alyssa says
Happy Father’s Day! His “manliest” quality is his willingness to do any project for me and how well he does each project!
elif says
HAPPY FATHER’S Day! My husband’s manliest quality is that he’s an awesome dad.

Happy Father’s Day!
Two words: the beard!
Jo says
Happy Father’s Day!! I love that my husband works so hard everyday and brings home the bacon – eww, I mean tofu (we’re vegan) so that I can be super mom to our 3 wonderful kiddos.
Kari says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is his thoughtfulness and insistence on raising our boys to be thoughtful, kind, and considerate gentlemen.
LaToya says
Happy Father’s Day. I love how my husband, even after working 12-14 hour days, always finds the energy to spend quality time with our kids.
Andrea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband will be a father in July, so this would be a great way to celebrate his first Father’s Day. His manliest trait is his willingness to do anything that’s needed!
Maureen says
Happy fathers day!
I love that my husband is teaching our boys how to value and honor women!
Kate says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad really does try to fix stuff…like all men do. Sadly, many times, it doesn’t work out so well. But at least it makes for some funny stories to tell and re-tell year after year!
JoniB says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest trait of my dad is his ability to actually know something about everything and figure out a way to fix it if it’s broken. He passed that gift on to my brothers, but somehow I didn’t get that gene. Oh well I guess that’s why I was the lone girl.
Jane says
Happy Father’s Day! Our son is three weeks old today, and his dad was an incredible support in the delivery room. I couldn’t have done it without him.mi think it takes a special kind of manly man to be there, do whatever is needed and still tell me I’m beautiful the next day.
Angie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
My husband is a true modern man… he stays home with our toddler and works on freelance work. He is the best dad!
wanda says
Happy Father’s Day!
i think it’s really manly of my husband to admit to things not typically “macho” like listening to pop music or admiring a celebrity’s style. real men have nothing to hide, and no one image to adhere to.
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! I admire my husband’s outdoor nature.
Celisa says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! I love how my dad knows something about everything, is as manly as they come but can take me in my arms and shower me with love whenever I’m in need.
Lauren B says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My dad really can fix anything, and well, my husband is learning :-P
Jenn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Whenever anything needs fixing around the house, it’s my stepdad to the rescue! I just had him reset the toilet in the powder room (that wax ring was grossss), so he definitely deserves a gift card to man heaven in return.
Gretchen says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love it when my husband carries fake-sleeping kids to their beds. He knows they’re secretly awake, but they don’t know he knows. He does it anyway. Strong arms, broad shoulders, tenderly tucking them in. Love.
Linden says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! I’ll be celebrating my husbands first fathers day! He is so great at yardwork!
britt says
Happy father’s day. I love that we never have to hire anyone to repair anything. My husband can fix everything.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing my hubby does is being a super Dad to our two girls…

Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband can not only do house repairs but also the dishes and laundry! I’m one lucky momma/wife.

Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad knows the answer to everything, and if he doesn’t, he just makes it up!
Maria says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad can jam on guitar like a bada$$. The weirdest part? He’s a pastor!
Shannon Clements Parry says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” I love that he joyfully gets on the floor and has a tea party with our daughter.
Callin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My favorite thing about my father is that he seems to be able to do everything! He fixes my car when I need help, he built my parents’ house from the ground up ALONE, and he is one of the best grillmasters I’ve ever met!
julianna says
Happy Father’s Day!
Jessica says
Happy fathers’ day!
My husband’s manliest quality is the way he takes care of me and our son.
missysoupy says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad wins the manliest award this year: he recently fell off of a 2 story house, landed on a 2×4, and didn’t die! Broke his wrist and a vertebrae. Deserves a Man-Card and then some…

Happy Father’s Day! I love how my Daddy knows every single mascot in footballing quizzes me every season.

paige ::approaching joy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! My soon to be husband is currently working a deck (like John!) so that his dad (and the rest of our family) can celebrate the holiday at our home. Love him!
Amy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My dad has many manly qualities, but the one that always makes me laugh is his insistence upon driving every single mile of a family car trip, no matter how long, no matter how many licensed drivers he has along for the ride. Dads….
Amy @ Lovely Nest says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad has never been afraid to show how much he loves me. Even at 26 years old, he gives me a kiss on the cheek at night before bed when we’re visiting!
Mandi says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s best “manly” trait is his ability to fix ANYTHING, seriously. Even if he doesn’t know how it works, he can patiently take something apart, figure out what’s wrong, put it right again, and reassemble. It’s AWESOME. (Not surprisingly, he also works in people medicine, lol – he’s a good diagnostician there, too!)
Nancie says
HAPPY FATHER’s DAY – I love that my hubby is always willing to try to tackle a project himself – but also knows him limitations! Perfect combo.
Kelly says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
My dad can fix anything…literally, anything. It still amazes me!!
stephanie says
Happy Father’s Day!
Love how my dad can figure out how to fix just about anything!
Amiz says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
I have two men to celebrate Father’s Day with. The first being my dad this is a huge father’s day for us, because he’s been in my life for 20 years. He is the only man I’ve ever known to be my dad and he is the most amazing man I have ever met. He would literally do anything anyone asks of him and he doesn’t hold grudges against anyone.
The other man is the bf the father of my amazing 3 year old. He works out of town 5-6 days a week to support us and I don’t think he truly understands how grateful we are to him
Christen says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband’s manliest quality is how he looooooves his grill.
Yadira says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
I think my husband’s manliest quality is his patience to our kids and I have to admit the wife too, plus his DIY skills.
Carrie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Being an outdoors-man is something my father is and my long term boyfriend is. I love a man that can hike for miles, build a fire and sleep on the ground!
Lisa W. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my husband knows how to fix all kinds of things when they break (OK, when I break them…)! It saves us a lot of money:)
Cass says
Happy Father’s Day.
My husband can play Pretty Little Princess like a champ.
Christy says
Happy Father’s Day!
Jen says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I love my dad’s patience!
