***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!
I am not sure if it qualifies as manliest but certainly is amazing. When our little guy was born he had to have some tests done, which required my husband, a brand new father to hold his little boy down. I don’t think I could have ever done that, so he certainly is the strongest and bravest man I know and an amazing father!
Ashley says
Happy Father’s day!!!
The manliest thing about my pops is that even if he isn’t the most Mr.-Fix-It he still tries! He does succeed most of the time too. :)
Ashley says

My stepdad is a big, scary looking, Harley riding kind of guy, but he is a teddy bear and would do anything for me. He’s always there when I need him.

Happy Fathers Day! This is the first year where it will be my husband, rather than my dad and him that we usually celebrate. My dad past away 4 months ago, so I’ll say something about him. The manliest thing about my dad, EVERYTHING… I will never forget the time he took out a tooth he had with PLIERS! I absolutely freaked out when I saw that.

Happy Fathers Day…to my husband for being there for our kids!
Rachel H says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love the fact that my husband thinks that he can fix/build anything. Most things he’s never done, he still has the confidence that he can do it. It might take a little longer to get done than the average person, but that accomplished smile at the end is worth it. :)

My husband and I just got our first puppy (we got her on Mother’s day!) and so even though we don’t yet have kids, we’re warming up for Mommy-Daddy roles. The manliest thing about my husband is his devotion to his family. He would do anything for me and the pup.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Think this would be a great gift for my husband. He is the greatest dad to his kids and is enjoying this summer of redecorating the house with me. After having open heart surgery this past January-he has a renewed appreciation for being active again and having the energy to do what he loves to do.
Ashley says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Happy Father’s Day!
My hubby is pretty darn manly- he can fix almost anything (and since my father really can’t even change a lightbulb on his own this has always impressed me!)
Liz says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my fiancé is probably his refusal to take over the counter medicine like Advil or Tylenol because he thinks his body is strong enough to heal itself. Despite the colds that last for weeks, it makes me laugh and appreciate his toughness.
Karen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I think the manliest thing my father does is tell his daughters how much he loves them. Nothing is sweeter than that!
