***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 love that my dad taught me that you NEVER call somebody to fix something for you, always try yourself first. For a long time I didn’t even know a person called a “Handyman” existed. My fix-it skills have saved me a ton of money and impressed scores of boys :)

SalBug says
Happy Father’s Day! My quote for my husband of 25 years has always been, “Strong and Handsome, Brave and True. Just some of the reasons that I love you”. He can fix anything, is athletic, smart, good looking, funny, loving, etc. I am one lucky woman.
Lara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My papa takes ballroom dancing lessons and still enjoys a good power tool!!
Rebecca says
Happy Father’s Day!
I will be celebrating my wonderful fiance who is an amazing man. His sister passed away in September, and we have been raising her three beautiful, rambunctious children, along with our own little guy. Four kids under 6 years old is a lot to take on, and he hasn’t even batted an eye! He truly is the reason why Father’s Day was created, and I’m honored to call him my son’s father. This gift would be a wonderful treat for him to be able to fix things up around the house! :)
