***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.

Courtney says
Happy Father’s Day!
He is well into his 60’s, but still works to provide for his family. Doesn’t hurt that he very much enjoys what he does for a living. (He’s a roofer!…at 60!)
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
My husband, the father of my daughter, is the most awesome father/husband ever (no offense John). He is the manly man that I always dreamed of, but still a softy at heart. He loves our little family with everything he has, and still finds time to go to school full time, work full time and build furniture :)

My husband and I have not been blessed with children yet, but the way he loves both of his niece’s is simply amazing! They can do no wrong in his eyes – and he can do no wrong in theirs….it’s just wonderful thinking about how great of a dad he’ll be one day!

Amanda says
HAPPY FATHER”S DAY!
My husband is so wonderful because he doesn’t need to prove his manliness and his is never threatened by “woman’s work.”
Leanne Wight says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is really handy around the house and he could use that drill to hang our new curtains this weekend. And then we could use the gift card to buy some new deck furniture so he can rest and relax after he’s done!
Sharon Burkes says

Erin Bennett says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love watching my husband with our 7 month old son. He could be talking “baby language” and tickling our son, and it’s the most attractive thing I’ve ever seen. On top of being an amazing father, he cooks and fixes things around the house. If anything needs to be hung up, he’s right there with a hammer and nail. I love him so much!
Elizabeth says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love how my hubby is so strong. No matter what he can lift or do anything. I also love his passion for fixing up our house.
Samantha says
Happy Fathers Day!
My dad is SUPER handy, I love that he lives close enough to help us out with our projects. My husband – father to our 2 boys and 1 baby girl on the way – is supportive of my DIY attempts and helps out with the heavy lifting. He is not really handy, he actually hates building things/putting things together, which makes me wonder how in the world he became an Eagle Scout. Isn’t building stuff like a prerequisite??
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day!
I think the “manliest” quality about my father is how protective he is of me and how he always worked to provide for his family no matter what!
Emily says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is his sense of adventure. He took a woman who gets sea sick and air sick, and got me jumping out of airplanes and SCUBA diving all over the world.
Amber says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad’s manliest quality is his complete inability to ask for directions when he is lost! He always finds his way eventually though!
Jillian says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is a true renaissance man. He is an academic, an artist, an athlete, and he knows how to build or fix anything.
Sue J. says
Happy Fathers Day!
I love how sweet he is with our daughter’s babies. Gentle, willing to do everything — and grab his phone to take pictures of them at the same time.
Amanda says
Happy Fathers Day!! My husband is the manliest man that can do anything that is thrown at him. He works 2 jobs to help support our family
Christy B says

Dawn G. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my husband is an awesome dad to my daughter (who is actually his step-daughter) because her bio dad is not there for her!
Becky says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband’s manliest quality is that he is super athletic…oh and he can grow a beard in like a day and 1/2 :)!

Elle says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My hubby’s manliest quality is his persistence in solving problems. Thanks for this giveaway.
Samantha H says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dear husband’s ability to cook now. When we married 12 years ago, he could barely open a box of cereal without it spilling everywhere. Just yesterday, he whipped up french toast from ingredients we had on hand. He’s daring and adventuresome in the kitchen, and I admire that about him.
Briana K. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My father never treated my sister and I as stereotypes. He taught his girls everything he knew, from managing finances to changing the oil, driving a motorcycle, and catching a pop-fly.
Angela L says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my Dad is the Boy Scout camping pro. He cooks things like”garbage” when they’re on campouts.
Bethany says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is a computer genius and is always more than ready to help me fix fix anything but most of all, he always carries a swiss army knife! haha he can have it out and ready to open anything in about .3 seconds.
Lydia says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! I love that my hubby is confident in himself, but never arrogant. He doesn’t hesitate to dance like a goofball to get a giggle out of our little one!
