***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 Fathers Day!
My husband is about as handy as they come. You name it, he can fix it. I also love the way he tears up at the little things. He is not afraid to show his softer side.
I also love the way my dad loves my mom. He treats her like a queen. I have very good men in my life.

Abby F says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My dad is a plumber and pipe-fitter! But he doesn’t just fix toliets- he fixes everything! ;-)
When my husband and I were first together I used to call my dad all the time to ask him how to fix something and my husband would get so annoyed- I never understood why- but I guess I get it now! He’s the new ‘fix it’ man in my life, but my father will always be my first.

Tammy H says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my husband can play with our daughter for hours anything from princesses to cars to finding bugs and other reptiles in the wild of our yard or where ever we happen to be venturing to and he can fix just about anything. He has so many talents from his green thumb to his skillful craftiness to his love of cooking. I don’t think there’s anything he can’t do and do well. We all have so much fun together and he is amazing!

Happy Father’s Day! When I was in elementary school, I got my father a Mr. Fix it hat for father’s day. The joke was that my father never fixed anything around the house, but he fixes bones at work! Maybe this prize will jumpstart his DIY abilities.

I love hearing my husband read to our daughter.

Happy Fathers Day!!!
One of the man qualities I enjoy most about my hubby is the manly way he plays with our kids – all physical and frequently loud, whether it be sports, teaching them to ride a bike, tossing/spinning/flipping kids! Life is never dull with him around!
Corey says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Happy Father’s day! My husband’s maniliest quality is his amazing parenting skills. He always knows just what to do — be patient, be firm, be kind, be silly, or be upset–and, oh yeah, he makes it look effortless too.
