***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.

Paige says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is manly as they come. Tall, strong, handsome, and able to fix anything. But my favorite “manly” quality of his is how he can put all of those things aside and become the biggest “softy” you’ll ever see! So sweet!
Kristin says

Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is the ultimate best dad. He is our handy man, free navigation system,and a great hugger, but what I admire the most about my dad is his ability to show love without worrying he might appear weak or less manly. He loves my mom, my sister, and I with all that he has.
Kristin says

My husband is an extremely manly man; having the uncanny ability to know how to fix anything is incredible! While we don’t have children yet, he has taken to my animals like they are his own. He’s a wonderful man and deserves more than I can ever give him. Happy Father’s Day!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband is so handy around the house and has really impressed me with mulitple DIY projects that I would have paid someone good money to do! Instead he’s done a fantastic job and I got to help :)
Amanda says
Happy Fathers Day! I love seeing what an amazing father my husband has become since our son arrived just 8 months ago.
Mari says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my man is his undying love for our NFL team. It is seems sort of out of character since he is a high school history teacher who insists on tucking in his shirt (finally starting to break him of this after 10 years together) but he goes NUTS about the Seahawks.
Whitney says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! Sometimes the manliest quality in a guy is knowing when to not be so ‘manly’. I love that my husband and my dad are willing to help with things around the house that are not considered ‘manly’. Laundry, cooking, cleaing, mowing the grass, building a table, fixing a light…OK, so maybe some of those are considered ‘manly’!
Clarice says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
This will be my husband’s 1st father’s day, well soon-to-be father’s day since I’m currently pregnant. The manliest thing about my husband is his ability to cook me dinner while I sit on the sofa with my swollen feet elevated.
Sarah MC says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my hubby is his awesome handlebar mustache, which he rocks non-ironically and has so for nearly six years now (he’s 32).
Rachel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I am beyond blessed to be married to a man whom, although he did not have a dad in his home to teach him “manly things”, is always willing to learn those things on his own or enlist other men to help teach him.
Rachel
Kathie G says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad inspired me to be a DIY’er. Try it and if you screw it up really bad, you can hire a professional to fix it. Haven’t needed a professional yet…lol. My favorite dad-ism…”That’s what caulk is for.”
Leslie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest quality of my husband is his willingness and ability to accept me for who I am. I am not an easy person to live with, but thanks to my wonderful husband, we have 3 incredible children and an amazing life!
Kim says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband is his ability fix anything we need in the house while keeping the kids entertained!

Happy Father’s Day! I LOVE when I see my kids Dad down on the floor rolling around and playing while the kids scream with laughter…truly the best.
Liliana says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
My husband put up a 12×4 sheet of drywall by himself with no special tools (he’s only 5’6″!!), then he tenderly cared for our dog, Sasha, after a difficult surgery.
