***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 husband can figure out most any obstacle we run into during our renovations, I just give him time to think on it and he always comes up with something great!

Stacy Moore says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
No husband here. I’ve always had to be mom & dad to my daughters. Which means that I’m lucky enough to celebrate Mother’s Day & Fathers Day with them. This was something that the oldest one actually started several yrs ago. :)

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is when he takes care of our kids ;-). And install tiles in the kitchen…
Alison says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My hubby loves the Lord.
jessica w says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” my husband has a very mechanical mind and can fix most things!
Allison says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
Manliest quality about my guy…..with 3 young boys, he rises to the occasion of being an excellent dad. He teaches them all the “boy stuff” as well as the stuff that builds their hearts. He humbly admits to knowing he doesn’t do it all right, but never lets that cripple him from trying….and the best part is that he actually wants this exact drill for father’s day!
Bella says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my hubby (who is celebrating his first fathers day) is his ability to handle a difficult pregnancy, the things around the house i couldnt do and having a new baby and handling it all so well.
Annegirrl says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My man loves to show his daughter’s his old comic books and tell them stories about all the sports he played. He’s got to man it up for them, but he’ll still sit and play the Pretty Princess game too.
Jenny says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my dad is watching him interact with my son – he’s such a good grandpa!
Andrea says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s manliest trait is there is nothing he can’t do! He can fix anything, build anything and is great at all he does!
Kara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my dad is how crazy is about his grandson. He jokes that if he could have skipped us and just started with grandchildren he would have.
Allison says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is that he is a fighter pilot—can you get any more manly?
Katie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad can navigate anywhere!
Maleah says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is loves DIY just as much as you do. :)
Jenn Prather says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! My dad, who is a builder/contractor, is literally the handiest person I know. He can figure out any issue and build anything. I am thankful to have so many pieces of custom furniture in my house that he has made for me!
Amy T says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My favorite manly part of my dad is his moustache. No one in my family (with the exception of his brothers) has ever seen him without it as an adult. Just his little signature cool dad thing. He’s a pretty awesome dad and grandpa too.
Sheri says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
He’s the best dad ever. That’s all.
Amy says
Happy Father’s Day! I think my husband’s manliest quality is his adoration and love for our son…and the baby on the way! Oh, and also his abilty to “take care” of all the spiders and bugs of which I’m terrified. :)
Eva says
Happy Father’s Day
The manliest thing about my Dad his is energy. He is always on the move fixing, redoing or making something better around the house. Sometimes just watching him is exhausting. But whenever he’s done coming outside to give props to what he’s done is always fun.
Amanda says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad grew up on a farm, so he’s very resourceful and he’s never met a broken – well, anything – that he can’t fix! I love and appreciate that about him.
Ali A says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my dad is that he never missed a single one of my games (of any sport i played) as a kid.
Megan G. says
Happy Father’s Day! I love how my dad can do any kind of handyman job, but I especially love how he teaches himself to do it all!
Amanda E says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
Both my Husband & Father can fix/build almost anything- the manliest part is that if they don’t know how to do something, they admit it and then learn how to solve the problem/challenge.
AngelaKr says
Happy fathers day!
The manliest thing about my husband? His strength. He is a knight in shining armor for our little girls dragons that have gotten out of control, a whiz iin the kitchen and my rock when life gets too chaotic, i just have to hold out my hand and hes there.
Jo @ Let's Face the Music says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband loves his outdoor work — manly stuff like cutting down trees, gardening, building, chopping firewood — but he also does dishes and wipes the counter. Woo-hooo! Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
Stefanie T says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my Dad is how he knows something about everything. :)
Daniel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Kimberly says
Heppy fathers day!
My dad can fix aaanything! Cars,, toilets, doors, wiring, tiling, he can do it all!
Cassie says
Happy Fathers Day!
I love watching my husband with our daughter. Walking in the living room and finding them sitting on the couch eating cereal together is hilarious and totally heart-melting all at the same time.
Jess says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. My dad is a master on the grill.
Amanda Gragg says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my dad is super safe with his grandkids. I think it is the protective instinct that kicks in when you have 2 girls with 4 little grand babies under the age of 6. On top of that he can create or fix just about anything he sets his mind to.
Jenny says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! This would actually be for me, since my husband is man enough to acknowledge that I’m better at (and enjoy far more) the household tasks. And would most immediately be put to use in installing a baby gate to hold back our almost-walker.
But one of said husband’s most endearing and adorable traits is his adoration of our kids, and incredibly skill with them. My mom friends are rightly jealous! Yay for dads.
Mary says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! The manliest thing about my dad is how he still calls me to let me know about a bad traffic jam he heard about on the radio, evven though I am almost 30, so I don’t get stuck in it :)
Becky says
Happy Father’s Day!
Manliest thing about my husband is the way he gets down on the floor to play with our girls with uninhibited joy.
Michelle says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is that he can quickly transform into a mush when around our two babies.
powwlita says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! my dad takes care of everyone! That’s the manliest thing he does. He is the rock not only of my family, but for lots of other people out there.
sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad has a lot of integrity, and I appreciate watching him practice that.
Julie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my dad, besides the fact that he is always a constant and quiet support, is that he loves boats. He particularly likes antique wooden boats and refurbishing them.
stephie2cool says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
Sadly my dad isn’t a manly man. He doesn’t fix things and doesn’t really like the great outdoors other than gardening. He’s still my dad though and is always willing to help his daughter, me, out of a pickle which is pretty manly:)
Amy says
HAPPY FATHER”S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is that he is the best Grandpa to my kids. It’s so great to see how he will put on a pink wig and wear a superhero cape just to make the kids smile.
Amanda G. says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my dad is the fact that he can do pretty much anything. He’s in the middle of turning the forest behind his house into a magical wonderland complete with treehouses and fiberglass mushrooms for all the grandkids to enjoy. Anddd maybe the kids too. :)
Ana says
Happy father’s day!
My husband is an electrician and is great at it. I love seing him talk about it or actually working because he’s so knowledgeable and passionate about it.
Sherryl says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My Dad always knows the right thing to say!
Kerrie says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad was able to do anything in our house growing up- from building a deck to laying a cement walkway, to building brick planters and everything else inside and out!
Kim says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I am celebrating the manliness of my unborn baby’s father. He has worked his butt off renovating the house so that we will have a home for our new family.
Chelsea says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad can fix and build just about anything and everything. I always say his garage looks like Home Depot :)
Donna says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My Dad is a true DIY guy and I am so lucky to have learned a few DIY tricks from him!
