***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 husband…He would say that it’s how strong he is, especially after ripping out some old cabinets recently (kitchen remodel in progress!). I would say it’s how gentle and cute he is with our almost-one-year-old son.

Happy Father’s Day!! Okay, the favorite thing about my husband may not be the “manliest” quality, but it’s that rare moment when he realizes (or admits) that the task I have given him is something he doesn’t know how to do.

Heather S says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love watching my husband play with my kids but the manliest thing he does is when he throws them in the air and catches them. It makes my heart stop every time because I’m afraid they’ll fall but they love it and he knows he’ll catch them. I think a lot of women feel the same.
Susan says

When I see my dad being the most awesome grandfather ever, I get misty eyed.

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
I love the way my husband loves my boys ( his stepsons ) so very much! He is the best father I know & we are lucky to have him. He refuses to even refer to them as his step kids. He is a very proud father indeed!

My dad is great at so many things, but I do admire his ability to fix anything, even a broken sailboat in the middle of Lake Huron in a crazy squal!

Happy Father’s Day!
We’ve been trying for a baby for 2.5 years…since it hasn’t happened yet, I’ll be celebrating my sweet husband on Sunday and the oh-so-manly way he treats our dog. He sings to that cute pup ALL the time! It makes me laugh & makes me excited for him to be a dad someday. :)
Alie says
Happy Father’s Day! (To John and My own Hubs James)
The Manliest thing about my sweet husband it how great of a father he is. We have 2 small daughters, so he is in a home filled with gals. He’s not afraid to sing and play dolls with them best of them. But even better is all of them playing Legos for hours.
What makes him so manly, is that he is the world’s best dad…
delray says
Happy Fathers Day! My fiance’s manliest quality would be when he gives our two adopted dogs and two adopted cats kisses and speaks to them in baby talk. That is a REAL man!
