***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!!
kerry says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my dad is his unwillingness to ask for directions. My siblings and I have many fond memories of waking up on road trips to my dad muttering things like “I didn’t think Rhode Island was on the way to New Hampshire”, and then immediately bursting into talk about how good adventure can be for the soul.
Jackie says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Linda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
One of the manliest qualities of my husband is that he gave up his career for over eight years to be a stay at home dad and raise our two boys. Now that they’re both older and he doesn’t need to be home for them all the time, he has reinvented his career – switching from a corporate career path to being a high school teacher. Wow – what a great guy!
Kim says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband always is willing to help us when anyone needs him.

Whitney says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
The manliest thing about my father is how he’s always working on old cars
DanaD says
My father’s most “manly” quality, has to be that he raised daughters to stand up with the men, but still be a lady.
Leigh says
Happy Father’s Day!
My favorite “manly” thing my husband does is how hard he works to give us a good life. And the play-wrestling in the den floor, even though I am always yelling, “Watch the lamp!”
Chelsea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband can fix anything and is the most handy person I know.
Meghan says
Happy Father’s Day!
Manliest quality? When I do an impression of what something sounds like and needs to be fixed, he knows what’s wrong! My kitchen hot water glug was spot on apparently for mr. fix it to know what to do next.
Debbie says
Happy fathers day!
I love how my dad knows every line from Seinfeld!
Lindsey says
Happy Father’s Day!
My wonderful husband is manly because he is so sweet and sensitive but makes me feel safe at the same time!
Melissa P. says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
My sweet father-in-law is the best! And my husband takes great care of our canine children.
Emily says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
I love that my Dad is fairly selfless and caring. One Christmas when I was home, we repaired a neighbor’s mailbox that was on its last leg. He didn’t know these people, it was just a single parent family he observed on his daily morning walk who had a mailbox hanging off its post. So on his morning walk, we set out with tools in hand to repair the mailbox. Being early in the morning, the people never came out of their house, and I doubt they ever knew who shored up their mailbox. My dad’s cool and caring like that. It’s why I love him.
Sue says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband is wonderfully handy – the kind of handy which requires a new tool for nearly every project, but the end-result is always worth it.
Shannon K. says
Happy Fathers Day!
The manliest thing about my construction loving dad is that he loves to teach others the trade.
Cara says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My husband is the manliest when he holding our baby boy actually. My dad is manliest when he is fixing stuff and using tools that scare the crap out of me.
Lisa says
Happy fathers day! I love how my husband plays with our 6 month old. It’s awesome to watch him as a dad.
Chrissy says
This is a super giveaway!!My husband claims not to be handy but really he can be if he puts his mind to it!!
SuziM says
Happy Fathers Day! My hubby has more patience than any person I know. He is a great balance for our family of five. Love him!
Marge says
HAPPY FATHER’s DAY! The manliest thing about my dad is his love of kayaking, camping, backpacking, Boy Scouts, & in general, the great outdoors.
Kristin says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband isn’t a father just yet, but by November 7th he will be! We were actually in the HD this past weekend and he was drooling over the Ryobi power tools! He’s going to need that drill to put together the new crib and many other things on the “honey-do” list!
Natalie says
Happy Father’s Day!
It’s pretty handy having a dad who knows how to fix just about everything.
Brooke says
Happy Fathers Day!
My dad can definetly fix anything!
Karen says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is the ultimate man’s man. “Daddy fix it” was frequently heard around the house when I was growing up. Now my husband, baby and I have just bought our first home and my husband is eager to have my dad teach him some things about home improvement!
Mindy says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is a great protector :-)

EmiLy says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
This weekend I will celebrate my dad and all his manliness including his ability to do any sort of renovation to any house( install floor tiles, change up plumbing, knock down walls) yet his willingness and ability to also be able to nurture and hug and provide lots of love. He’s a man of many trades.
Mary says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband puts family before anything else.
