***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
The manliest thing about my dad is that always is there for us, no matter what even if he doesn’t want to be ;)
amelia says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
new baby and new house!
Sandy says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love it that my hubby is so good with our son. Even after a long day at work, he is always willing to come home and jump in!
Penny says
Happy Father’s Day!
Crystal says
I love that my big tough Army husband comes home from work and sweetly plays the guitar to our 3 year old and 18 month old while they dance and try to sing along.
Jeannie says
Happy Fathers Day! I love that my husband (the dad of our son) can kill any bug!
Connie Tacazon says
Happy fathers day!
My man will kill bugs for me. Eeeewww
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day!
Our first father’s day of our twins and he has been manly and taken on the baby-proofing!!!!
Melissa S. says
Happy Father’s Day!!
My dad’s car packing would put your dad’s car packing to shame.
Nikki says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My husband works so hard so I can stay at home with my kiddos!
Jan C. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband is the father of 5. One of his manliest qualities is the ability to know which direction he is going in, not matter what. So he really never needs to ask directions, and we always get there.
Meghan B. says
Happy Father’s Day!! I love how my dad is a book of knowledge. He has taught me so much and continues to teach me things even though I’m all grown up! ;)
Kristen K says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My favorite thing about my dad is that he has always been my biggest fan, through thick and thin. There is nothing else a girl could need from her dad than his unconditional love and support.
Dana says
HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY! My dad really does know how to fix everything, and I have set my precedent of how manly I consider the men I have dated based on how many things they can/can’t do that my dad can do. The bar is pretty high!
Urban Wife says
Happy Father’s Day! I love how my dad can just look at a car, wink at it, and voila…it’s fixed! We dubbed him the official family Car Whisperer. :)
Maya B says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love how my dad taught me to value love and life!
Larry Doyle says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY.
I subscribe to the Red Green philosophy: If the women don’t find you handsome, they should find you handy. I am not handy but incredibly handsome.
Andrea Masterson says
HAPPY FATHER’s DAY!
My favorite manly quality in my husband is the way he plays with our daughter- nothing says “I’m secure in my manhood” more than not being too self conscience to have a tea party with a two year old. Or build a pink Lego rocket ship.
Susie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Muriel says
Happy Father’s Day!!
This will be my boyfriend’s first official fathers day since we had our son, but he’s been a father to my little girl much longer!! He’s the best!
Nikki L says
Happy Father’s Day!! I’ll be celebrating with my dad, my father in law and both grandfathers in law! The quality I love most about all of them (and my hubby who isn’t a dad yet) is their ability to fix anything, no sweat. My dad is even buffing out a scrape on my car before our father’s day BBQ. What a trooper!
Sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Physically, my husband’s manliest trait is his epic beard. Past that, I love that he’s super sentimental and not afraid to show emotion (he cries more than me), he’s a total softie when it comes to our cats (he refuses to get up if there’s a cat sleeping on him), and he sits and reads and talks to my pregnant stomach for hours on end.
marissa says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” I love to see my man all dirty from working hard in the yard. It’s so attractive that he can fix things!
Shelby says
Happy Father’s Day! I love the way my husband interacts with our kids and his recent passion for landscaping our yard. :)
Rosie says
HAPPY FATHER’D DAY! Hubby’s manliest trait is his 5 o’clock shadow… and its mr-fix-it-ness. :)
Krista says
Happy father’s day! I will be celebrating my 2 favorite men, my dad and my husband. I love how my dad can build or fix just about anything. I love how caring and loving my husband is and can’t wait to see him in action with our own little one who is due in January.
Michelle says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! I admire the way my Dad can watch golf and fall asleep instantly, but when you change the channel…he’s awake!
Kara says
Happy Fathers Day! I love that my dad still calls me his little girl
Susan Morris says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I’m celebrating my wonderful husband who is celebrating his first father’s day!
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day!!
I love how smart my Dad is, but he is really humble and would never admit it!
Amanda@reno366 says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband is remodeling our second floor by himself. I’d say that scores major man points!
Ashley says
Happy Fathers Day!!
Lynn says
Happy father’s day! My dad is a human GPS. It’s amazing.
Tanja says
Happy Father’s Day!
His knowledge, for sure. I know that I can ask my husband anything (anything!) and he’ll know the answer. Well, unless it pertains to cooking. ;-)
Leila says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! He is the handyman of my life! Fixed my broken pieces and now Im happily glued together again :)
Tim B says
Happy father’s day!
Alicia says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my dad is how, back when we were kids, he’d use us as dumbells. The manliest thing about my husband (father to our pup) is the way he treats our Molly-dog like daddy’s little girl.
Lani says
Happy Father’s Day!
Manliness….the way my husband can clear the room w/o uttering a single word (though the smell…ugh!). Can’t say we love this manly talent, but do love the man!
Andrea pack says
Happy father’s day!!! My dad introduced me to all things barbeque. Love you dad!
Allison says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad couldn’t fix anything for the life of him, but he’s a pro at the grill!
Crystal says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! I forgot to include that in my last comment. Oops. That’s what happens when you are distracted by said 3 year old and 18 month old. Well here’s another: my husband is hilarious and can make me laugh even on the worst days.
Christy G. says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is the strong but silent type and always there when you need him to be.
Jenn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad can fix anything and everything!
sara says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
the “manliest” quality of my husband is his strength not only physically but emotionally always there for his girls :)
Kim says
Happy fathers day!
The manliest thing about my husband is how he great he is with our son.
Christina says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my dad can fix anything and would love to be able to replace some of his tools that I’ve borrowed over the years…
Jeannie says
Happy Fathers Day!!
Even though my husband has never had children, he is a wonderful, giving teacher to all of his students.
Judy W. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The father I celebrate this week is the father of my step-children — making him my husband but not the father of my own children. Nevertheless, he’s the guy I love and live with. He is the handiest and hardest-working guy I know, and I am so glad that we live together because he works HARD all the time to make our home comfortable and functional. Besides, he’s a great cook!
Lori says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s love for any and every sport and that he involves both my daughters in spectating is my favorite manliness quality.
Heidi's Cottage (@HeidisCottage) says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY As someone who lost her dad years ago, I’d like to give props to all the Mathers out there. My mom is great with a power tool.
