***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 brother became a father on Thursday. It’s amazing. I called him Saturday to see how things were going and he said, “I’m so in love with her. I had to mow the lawn and I missed her the whole time”… It’s awesome to see a love like that!!
Jenny says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Jyotsna says
Happy Fathers Day!
I love how my dad always knew the answers to all my questions.
Courtney says
Happy Father’s Day!! My boyfriends manliest quality is he can do all the construction stuff and be tough at work but when he comes home he is all cuddles with our son!
Krista says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is the manliest guy I know. He’s a football coach, a horseman, and a rancher. Right now he has a shop that could use some TLC, this gift card would sure get the ball rolling!
Crystal says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is a pretty much a lumberjack! I’d say that is extreme manliness!
Stephanie says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love how my dad is always there for me, including helping me move over 10 times in college and after!
Tamie Kyes says
Happy Fathers Day!!
My husband’s love for his two little boys is as manly as it gets!!
tambryn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest quality of my Dad is being patient enough to teach anyone how to use tools. The fact that my Dad had all girls didn’t slow him down a bit on getting us down to the woodshop. I’m the only woman I know who got a Compound miter for Christmas and was stoked. Dad and I spent hours working in the shop together while I was growing up and those are the times I’ll be celebrating with him next weekend.
Kathy Langr says
Happy Father’s Day!!
The manliest quality of my husband is not just that he can fix and/ or build anything, but that he is the greatest dad to our two daughters!
L says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my dad always rushes home before a rainstorm to get one final pass with the lawn mower so the grass doesn’t get to high in the front yard. :D
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love watching my husband being the most wonderful father to our son. I don’t think there is anything more manly than that!
Marc says
Happy Fathers Day!
My dad’s manliest quality is his patience in discipline. Strong yet firm conveys the ultimate level teaching.
Erin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My husband’s manliest quality is that he has no idea how to put together an outfit — he’s only 33, but left the house this morning dressed the way an old man would…
Sandra says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad can fix just about anything. He even taught my husband not to be afraid of tackling home repairs/improvements himself. This has saved us a lot of money over the years.
Deese says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My father in law is the type of guy who will drive 14 hours from IL to NC to spend three weeks painting all the rooms in my house and plaining doors so they will shut (only exterior doors would actually latch when we first moved in). In a word he is awesome.
Lauren says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love my Dad’s humilty. There is nothing more admirable in a person.
Erika says
Happy Father’s Day!
My hubs can build a house from the ground up… but I think the manliest thing about him is the way he loves & cares for our four kids. He’s probably changed more of their diapers than I have! Now THAT’S a man!
Bridget D. says
Happy Fathers Day! The other day I was visiting my parents, and looked out the window to see my dad 30 feet above the ground trimming some branches off the tree in our backyard. I love how he’s always willing to take on a project, big or small!
Heather Banks says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My hubby watches Sports Center….all the time!
Laura says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! My dad has the ability to fix anything! Whether it’s your car, a leaky faucet or just a plain crummy day. :-)
Alyn says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” I LOVE that my husband will take on any project, even if he’s never done it before. He’s learned many things about electricity and plumbing in 13 years and 3 houses! Right now we’re remodeling the kitchen.
Carrie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Does this drill come with an “Over Torquing Preventer”??? Is that a thing – because it should be. The manliest thing my husband does is over torque everything, strip a screw, break something… then he’ll blame it on the tools. Such a man!
Kami says
Happy Father’s Day!
Our dearest Dad does the laundry!
Diane says
Happy Father Day!! I love that my dad can fix just about anything. When something is broken, he’s my go-to guy to call.
Melanie says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband will become a father on 11 weeks (hopefully) and he is already a great dog-dad :)
Kara says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My dad is amazing, he can fix anything, he didn’t let cancer stop him from doing what he enjoys, and he’s always loved his only daughter even if she can’t throw a baseball or catch anything. ever.
Emilie C. says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is what a great father he is to our 2 year old twin girls. Sure, he can remodel our entire house, gutting bathrooms and kitchens….but, it takes a whole lot of man to attempt to put little girls hair in pig tails!
Andrea says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!!!!
I love watching my husband with our little boy…my favorite is when i catch them playing together, especially when they have no idea that i’m watching. They are just so sweet!!!

Happy Father’s Day!
My husband loves our little girl so much, sometimes he tells me in a squeaky voice that it is hard to breathe!
Amy says
Happy Father’s Day. I love my dad’s ability to step back and see the big picture in any situation and so thankful he has shared that with me!
Eli S. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
My Dad and Husband are both great fix-it guys!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my dad helped me settle in to my new condo. And framed my mirror :)
Ayisha says
Happy Fathers Day. My dad was a master electrician when he was alive but My father in law is excellent at fixing almost anything.
Kate says
Happy father’s day! My dad can fix anything. I wish I had that quality!
Christina says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my Dad (and brother too!) will go to great lengths to make things by hand rather than just buying them from a store. Like when they spent half a Saturday carving a wooden espresso tamper on a lathe when they could have just bought one. Who does that?! :)
Julie says
Happy Father’s Day! Growing up my Dad would TRY to fix everything. He usually ended up breaking it beyond repair.
Nancy says
Happy Father’s Day! How my husband knows random facts about random things–very funny!
Andrea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my husband turns into a worrying, snuggling mush when it comes to our “kids” (dog and cat). I think that’s a real man!
Danielle says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
My husband’s manliest quality is his ability to live by his own definition of being a man!
Courtney S says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love how my dad can fix/make/advise me on anything!
Kate says
Happy Father’s Day!
This is my husbands (almost) first Father’s Day (we are having baby in August) and I love that he isnt afraid of house projects that terrify me – it makes for a good balance!
Catie says
Happy Father’s Day!
I just love him. Through and through.
Carly says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my dad is his ability to fix anything and then cook up a delicious meal on the grill without a second thought!
EngineerMom says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love how my husband rough-houses with our son and daughter. Growing up, his only brother had pretty bad asthma and his dad has a blood disorder that means he bleeds for hours from a papercut, so DH had no one to horse around with as a kid. His dream was that some day he’d have a son or daughter to wrestle on the rug or give horsey rides to. I grew up with a 6’6″ dad who tossed us around like potato sacks, so I love watching DH get his childhood wish!
