***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!
The manliest man in my life is my sweet husband who is currently a father to be in a few short months!
Meghan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my dad has taken care of my every need since the day I was born and continues to do so today. He is my number one man and my go to guy.
Anne says
Happy Father’s Day!!!!!!
My man squeeze is a great dad, primarily the reason I made him mine. He had a son when we met. A great bonus is…he CAN fix almost anything, and being in our 30s, we are not yet at the place in our life to “pay the man”. So he is pretty fantastic on all accounts.
Sandra Padilla says
Happy Father’s Day!! The manliest thing about my husband is his ability to command a conversation on any topic…but there are so many more!!!
Shannon says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my father still reminds me about oil changes and car maintenance even though I am over 40.
Jenalee Latham says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My favorite quality about my dad is his work ethic. That man has NEVER called out sick or done anything half-hearted. He’s my inspiration
Kati H says
Happy Father’s Day! My favorite manly trait of my husband is the way he melts into his baby daughter’s eyes as she laughs and coos at him!
Camille says
Happy Fathers Day!
My husband can artfully recreate every football game he’s ever seen play.by.play. No joke!
Shia says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my husband works extra hard so that I can stay home and take care of our children. :)
Leah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! I love that my dad is a free spirit. He has worked hard all of his life, now he spends most days sailing, which has been his life-long passion. Growing up my dad was a contractor (he even built our house), and he taught me how to be a handy (wo)man. I’m happy to be able to “do it myself”.
Emily says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad loves to tinker with cars. I’m so impressed when he gets an old clunker up and running again.
Maryanne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My hubs insists that he’s not a carpenter, yet he has built cabinets, vanities, loft beds, desks, bookshelves, and other furniture for our home- without plans or pictures- just from the ideas in his head. Now THAT’S manly!!
Amy Knisely says
Happy Fathers’ Day! My dad just finished building an outdoor kitchen and it looks absolutely stunning! I can’t wait to go see it when I go on vacation in a few weeks!

Happy Father’s Day!
I love how Walker can be up to his neck in a project (painting, building something, yard work ) and will drop everything when Finley says Dada and puts her arms up. He is a fantastic father (and a great handy man,too!).

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my husband will take my kids golfing and teach them the rules of the game and how to hit the ball. He’s so patient and it’s a wonderful quality!
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day!! :-)
Michelle Creegan says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY – I love my husband for what some would consider his “unmanly” qualities; his eagerness to play with / bathe / change / take care of our daughter, his great cooking, how he always helps out with cleaning. He is a great father and husband!
Karalee Tuck says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love so many things about my father… he can fix anything, is generous with his time, loves to organize family vacations, makes the best buttermilk pancakes, etc. But most of all, I love that he loves Jesus and has passed that passion onto us kiddos.
Denny Finnerin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my hubby isn’t afraid to try any task, and remains patient when our two-year old insists on “helping” daddy.

Charlie says
Happy Father’s Day!
Pedro says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad would always take us to explore in the mountains and thick forests near our house. He knows everything about surviving in the wilderness.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I appreciate the way he plans, and the way he takes care of the occasional spider that creeps in.
Beth says
“HAPPY FATHERS DAY”!!!
Love my hubby’s stubble!

Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s manliest quality is the exceptional in which he respects and honors his wife.
Becky says
Happy Father’s Day!
Anne Weber-Falk says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing my man does is to jump right in and do whatever it is that needs to be done. It doesn’t always get done right but at least he tries. Love that and love him.

Jessica says
Happy Father’s Day!!
Kellie W. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
The manliest thing about my husband is how much he looks forward to becoming a father… it really doesn’t get much better than that! Runner-up manliest thing would be that he talks and talks about DIY projects, but just doesn’t have the tools at this time to do them! So, this would be amazing to win so I can help him transition from talking about the projects, to doing them!
Melanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My grandfather, Papa, has macular degeneration and can’t do many of the “manly” things he’d love to still be doing – changing the oil in his truck, driving, cutting the grass, etc. – but he is still a master in the kitchen! Best sweet potato pie, banana nut bread, or chicken & rice you’ll ever have!
Alison says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
I love that my husband will take on any project and do it better than a pro contractor!
