***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

Cate says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad loves a good challenge, plans every project out (to every minute detail) and even though it might take him a while, the projects always come out amazing. When I was in high school, he built a four stall barn so that mom and i could bring our horses home. He did almost every aspect himself (except some of the roof work I believe). A couple years later, he also helped my horse trainer build her 30 stall barn with enclosed riding arena. Impressive!
Anna Schar says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband is such an amazing father to our son.

Happy Fathers Day! My husband is not good at building things. But he makes up for it, in every other area. Wouldn’t trade him for for anything.
N Shirley says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband’s MANLIEST quality if that he let his children be who they are and appreciates them for who they turned out to be. He did not have a model in his life to show him the way but he has been a great dad!

I love that my husband (Daddy of 8!!) isn’t intimidated by any DIY project that comes along! He researches and jumps in to learn as he goes… it always takes longer than if we paid someone to do it but this way we know how it was done and that it was done correctly every time! Happy Daddy Day!!

Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is his ability to be such a hands-on dad. Whether it’s building a swingset for our daughter or giving our son a bath, he is right there ready to work to help our family.

My husband is the handiest guy around. And the best fa to our kiddo I could ever ask for.
Aaron says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My dad married someone who already had a child (me) and raised that child despite his family being against it. I’d say that is the manliest thing he ever did.

Hubby would love that! He was eying up a fancy new work radio that also charges your drill battery the last time we were there, and this would help him get it!

Happy Father’s Day!

I love how my husband was never afraid to jump right in and play barbies, or any other game with our kids. He’s such a great Dad!
Ashley @ The North Carolina Cowgirl says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I’ll be celebrating with my boyfriend. He came into my son and I’s life 6 years ago and stepped right into the father role. He’s been such a great dad to my son and I’m so thankful for him! His most manliest quality tho…hating to “talk”. He does not like opening up and telling his feelings at all!
Jacqui says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband’s manliest quality is that he not only knows how to fix/make just about anything, he also can’t wait to share his knowledge with our daughter when she’s old enough.
Marcia Lamar says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is always a gentleman.
Monique says
Happy Fathers Day!
I love my husband’s handy man skills, but he is the manliest when he lets my 3 year old “help” him work. Nothing cuter than the two of them with their work belts, hammers and tape measures. LOL!
Deanna says
Happy Father’s Day! Fishing and hard work!
Mary Kathryn Elkins says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I think the manliest thing about my husband is how he is able to stay so removed from ANY drama- he just lets things roll off his back. This, as any woman knows, is definitely a guy thing!
Janet says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad fixes everything that goes wrong in my apartment, thanks Dad!!
MB says
Happy Father’s Day!
Daddy is no longer with us and I will always miss him terribly but am glad I can celebrate with my husband Sunday. I’d say the Football, hunting and fishing tie as his ‘manliest’ qualities. Unfortunately, he’s not the handiest fellow around, but has developed basic fix-it skills during our 20 year marriage!
Elaine says
I love that my husband will work to COMPLETE the job. I would like to throw in the towel sometimes, but he powers through and gets projects completed!

Happy Father’s Day! My dad has great gardening and lawn maintenance skills!

Happy Fathers Day!

Kristin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My baby’s father (aka hubby) can literally fix anything. Anything. From jewelry to electrical to the car to dinner. Guy can literally fix Anything.
Lisa M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I will not be in the US for Father’s Day this year. Going to Paris with my daughter. So I hope that my husband and the greatest Dad to our kids will enjoy the peace. It would be nice to win something for him too!
