***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!
My dad can fix or build anything under the sun! He made sure that I “helped” him so that when I lived on my own, I would be able to try to fix things first before paying someone to do it for me.

Happy Father’s Day. My husband is great at being a dad and while he’s not the greatest with fix-it type stuff, I still find him “manly” in the way he interacts with our daughter and son.

Emily says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! I love how my husband is fearless. Seriously, nothing scares him! AND he’s so proud to do anything that makes me happy. For example, he’s so manly that he’s not afraid to wear a cheesy Halloween costume to make my day. :)
Kim says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
My hubby is manly because he’ll play dress up, let my girls put makeup on him and just generally act silly with them and he isn’t self-conscious about it AT ALL!!!
And even though my dad has passed, he was a manly man because he could fix ANYTHING and also took on DIY projects when it wasn’t even called DIY! I hope I’m making him proud now by taking on projects myself and becoming the ‘fixer’ for my house :) (Although, I don’t have nearly his amount of talents on expertise in electronics!).
AndreaKal says
I love then way my husband and father- to-be tries so hard to be handy, and is not afraid to admit he really isnt and also is great at enlisting friends and family to get projects done!
Elaine says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
Don’t think my first post took so will do it again.
I am glad my husband can fix just about anything and he always tries before calling in an expert. He could use a drill, that a thrill that would be for him!
Thanks for the Give-away!
