***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 father-in-law is a farmer so I would say that is his “manliest” quality.
Becca Sch says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my dad can fix absolutely anything, anytime, anywhere. He’s our very own MacGyver!
Nou says
Happy Father’s Day! I love how my husband can walk into a room of complete strangers and walk out with new friends. He is also a great volleyball player especially for being only 5’3″.
Tess says
Happy Father’s Day!!
My dad built me the best playhouse when I was little. He also fixes anything I need fixed in my apt.
Adrianne says
Happy Father’s Day!! My husband is the best daddy to our 3 and I love his ability to fix all of our old house problems!
Meg says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! The manliest thing about my husband – future father – is the way he talks about all the things he wants to teach our unborn child. He walks by a baseball game in the park and tells me how if it’s a boy he’s going to teach him “this, and that” about playing first base…and if it’s a girl he’s going to teach her “not to put boys and dating before her education.” Every time he says something like this my heart just melts, and I know he will be a wonderful father :)
Amanda says
Happy Fathers Day!
The mannliest quality about my dad is his ability to build anything. Right now he is working at my soon-to-be-husbands new shop building anything thing and everything they ask of him. His current drill just died, he burned the clutch out of it, this is the second time this is happened. He’s a hard working, lovable guy that will do anything for anyone.

Tanya says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband is his ability to be sensitive while still being strong.
Danielle says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my boyfriend (aside from his mad building skills) is watching him turn to mush. There is nothing better than seeing him play with my son, having him kiss my forehead and my expanding belly, and saying goodnight to our unborn child.
MichelleO says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
my dad’s manliest quality is his massive beard!
Victoria C says
HAPPY FATHER’s DAY! As a new homeowner myself, I’d like to say that the manliest thing my father does for me is NEVER let me pay if we go out to dinner! I always say I’ll take him out for all the help he has given me but he never lets me pick up the check.
Julie Jacobsen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my man can truly fix anything. Even as a kid, his parents tell me that when something was broken, they would take it to Dave and let him figure it out. However, when I think “manly” a certain evening comes to mind on a hot July day in Texas. We were new homeowners with a triple lot and only a push mower. I sat in a lawn chair in our driveway with a glass of wine watching my man push mow the yard. MEOW!
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day! I love how just the sound of my dad’s voice can be very calming to me. I’m also excited to celebrate my husband’s first Father’s Day. He is the best at making our son give a belly laugh.
mariela says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I will be celebrating my Dad. He has always been there for us, and I am so lucky and grateful!
Nikki Varn says
Happy Fathers Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is after putting in a grueling 10+ hour day at the office he still comes home and wants to cook an AMAZING meal plus spend time with our little guy to give this momma a break!
Kat says
Happy Father’s Day!!!! We aren’t parents yet, but my hubby really is amazing with our animals. Patient, loving, disciplined, and treats them like animals…not people…which is important for their happiness!
Krista says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband’s manliest quality is his wisdom. He is the one we all go to when we need our problems solved.

Lchris says
Happy Fathers Day!????
My dad has made many things over the years, my favorite being the swing I sit in on my porch everyday. But the best thing is watching him take care of my Mom as ahe struggles with Alzheimer’s.
Love your blog!!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad can fix or build ANYTHING!!!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
One of my husband’s manliest qualities is his ability to DIY projects around the house…and his weekend stubble. :)
Erica Lemke says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husbands manliest quality is that he is in the military and can be a tough guy on duty and then come home and be gentle and caring with our daughter or play with girly toys to make her happy! Melts my heart!

Mariel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I get to celebrate with my Father and my Uncle this weekend. They are both so giving and caring, which is such a “manly” quality. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that my Dad’s first name is actually Manley (but goes by his middle name, which I share with him!)
Tracey says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband’s manliest quality is how he can fix anything, yet can still braid our three daughters’ hair or paint fingernails with the best of them!

Happy fathers day! I love how my husband makes pancakes every weekend!
Stefanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I just love that my dad knows how to do everything in the handyman department, and he always lets me help. He buys be power tools because he wants me to know how to do things myself, but I always defer to dad for any project. He’s the best!
Wincy says
Happy father’s day!
The manliest quality is the ability to put others first! My husband is known as the person who can fix pretty much everything and uses those talents to help others!
