***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.

A big “I’m sorry” to my father, brother, and boyfriend…but I’m handier than all three and would totally keep this :/
Kaley L. says

Keally says

My brother works very hard and is a great role model to his two sons.

Justine says
Happy Father’s Day!
I think I ‘married my dad’, so I love how both my husband and dad are so handy around the house (and that my dad teaches my husband even more, especially about cars, so he’s even more well-rounded and skilled in fixing and building things).

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

julia says
Happy Father’s Day
My dad’s manliest quality is that he was a great provider for our family (and for other families as well – he’s a financial planner).
Korey says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My dad is always there to help with all our repairs, and is a great teacher ;)
Nina says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad’s manliest quality was how he could fix most anything (including all of my broken jewelry – real manly!) and how is big bear hugs were the best of all. He lived his life big – lived his faith, loved his family, had great friendships and a laugh that would leave him breathless. He was prepared for anything, in true Eagle Scout fashion.
My husband’s manliest quality is his confidence! He wears bow ties exclusively (before they were “popular” because apparently now they are?) and pink pants and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about it. And although he loves to fish and golf and mow the lawn, he is actually very sensitive and compassionate, a great listener, and loves to do dishes and iron (how did I get so lucky?).
Kelly Meyer says
Happy father’s day!
I think the manliest thing about my husband is his strength to let people see his soft side. He’s never afraid to be affectionate with me or his kids no matter who is around.
Leah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love my baby daddy’s (husband’s) hard-working hands.
Meredith says
Happy Father’s day!
Nancy says
Happy Fathers Day!
I love my dad. When a contractor working on my house was trying to get away with doing a bad job, my dad yelled at him for me. I felt so protected and that was just what I needed at that moment.
LCA in RIC says
Happy Father’s Day! My hubby is great at refinishing furniture and is one fantastic daddy!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I love how my dad always knows how to fix the things around my house and is proud of all the things I figure out by myself (through trial and error).
E.D. R. says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s manliest attribute is his excellent fathering skills and his beard, which he reluctantly grows for me when he goes on vacation! I love it.
megan nance says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!

Laura says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Happy Father’s Day!
My Dad is the one man show..fixes cars, random things around the house, computers, and he loves the great outdoors and goes backpacking in the Rocky Mountains every year. He’s the real deal.
Meredith says
the manliest quality that my husband possesses is his capacity to love.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
To my husband, the man who learned to cook because I work late nights, never expects me to take out the trash, and hacks my Pinterest to build me awesome Mother’s Day presents.

happy father’s day! my husband isn’t a father yet – but has been incredibly manly in how he has managed the process of trying to become parents. it hasn’t been easy and the fact that he’s a good man has really shown through.
