***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 know my favorite thing about my boyfriend should probably be that he is so handy and helpful around the house, but the manly thing I love about him is his beard!
Renee says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
Mine is a dad to a fur-baby and he’s a good one! He can also fix most things.
Amanda L says

Sangeeta Parikh says
Happy Fathers Day!
My husband is a great DAD, he had the utmost patience for our son, i come a distant second when it comes to patience :)
Of course, I just wanted to “Happy Fathers Day” to my dad too, for being there for me always :)
Bethany H says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is the fact that he works a full time job then comes home and starts his second – remodeling our house – all without complaint and with making us feel like the most important part of his life. Love him!
kim says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
My Dad just got himself a new girlfriend/wife (my mom died 4 years ago) and despite the fact that I’m happy that he is happy;……Its still weird.
Valerie Davis says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! to the man I love most, who just bought me a 4,000sqft fixer upper and isn’t affraid to get his hands dirty. I also love that he will take the baby, pick weeds and cook me dinner! I landed the best guy in the world! Love love love.
Sharon Stacy says
Happy Fathers Day!!
I love that my husband is willing to try and fix things. My own father is very handy and i have learned so many things from watching him. I love knowing our daughter is looking up to her dad the same way. Just like i wasn’t very good at cooking when we got married he wasn’t very handy. My have things changed in the last 7 years.
Andrea K. says
My wonderful husband is a tech god. He also put a crib together last weekend so that was pretty awesome too.

Happy Fathers Day!!
My husband is a fix it all, manly guy, but the best thing about it is that he’s “man enough” to have tea parties with our three girls ;)
Natalie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is manly because he wears socks with sandals and doesn’t care what anyone thinks!
melissa G. says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad can certainly fix just about anything- nice!! :o)
Jennie Andersen says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
I love how excited my dad gets to cook us a big meal. It usually involves putting some ribs the smoker for a whole day event. All his effort is worth it… It always tastes delish!!
Dan says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad has the uncanny ability to tell a story so well that you think you’ve been teleported back to the 50s.
Holly says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love how my dad is a diy sometimes to a fault. When we were kids and we wanted to fix/do something say like car brakes he would tell us to go the library to look up how to do it.
It will be my husband’s first Father’s day with a little bun in the oven. I would say it’s also his can-do, diy, what could go wrong spirit. I now have a 15 ft. fixer upper sailboat in my driveway due to that spirit.
Christine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love my dad for trying to fix anything, even if it is way outside his knowledge area…he gives it a crack before calling in the professionals!
Christina D says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My Dad’s manliest quality is ability to fix / build anything! My hubby’s manliest quality is his love of and ability to play sports + his effort towards fixing things around the house ;)
Kristen says
Happy Father’s Day! My manly man knows every sports-related trivia bit. That’s hot.
Jen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband’s “manliest” quality is his ability to show a wide range of emotions. He is incredibly human in that regard, nothing “typical man” about him. For that reason, he is a great Dad and I’m so happy to be parenting our beautiful son with him.
Sara says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad fixes stuff without even being asked. :)
Rena says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY…my hubby is very manly in not asking for directions ;)

Beth says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad has every tool imaginable – which is sooooo manly and I really appreciate and love that fact about him as a dude and my dad!
Theresa says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about about my hubs is that he can figure out how to fix stuff!
Nicole says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY One the the the manliest thing about my husband is his kindness. I use to hear about all the romantic things my friend’s husbands would do, like flowers and jewelry,but I would take kindness over romance any day. Give me a man how is kind and thoughtful enough to get the house cleaned before I come home from a girls night out over jewelry any day.

DaveN says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
My father-in-law can build/fix anything
Beth says
Happy Fathers Day! What I love my most about my dad is that he has no clue how to use a power tool but he has instilled an attitude that I can do anything I set my mind to! AND he would totally let me keep the prize if I won…..a big help to a single parent like me who DOES know how to use a power tool! Lol :)
Jackie Smith says
HAPPY FATHER”S DAY!
My husband is the best father a girl could ask for! He’s sweet when she need cuddles and tough when she’s in the middle of a soccer game. I loved him before we had our daughter, but now I love him even more!
