***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
I love that my husband takes random days off of work and takes our 4 year old to the Seattle Center and become local tourists. He’ll usually send me a picture of them having a blast at the kids museum or hanging out eating ice cream. Love it!

Andrea S says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!
I have never known of a project around the house that my Dad hasn’t been able to fix/accomplish. From air conditioners to septic systems to Barbie Doll houses my Dad could do it all. Thankfully my husband seems to have the same traits!
Tricia says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband has been working afternoon shift, and going to bed at 1 AM, only to wake up early to head to school in the mornings–so that he can have a degree, to hopefully get a better job in the future, to provide for our family! It’s not been easy, but hopefully he’ll finish school in the spring!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The manliest thing about my hubby is that he has no fear of strange noises in the house. In the middle of the night if we hear something, he will grab a bat or stray golf club and run to the noise protecting his family.
