***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’ve always admired how my dad can seemingly do anything he sets his mind to- ie, design and build a house, fix cars, design furniture. He’s awesome! (And really needs a new drill!)

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! I will be celebrating my wonderful husband whose ability to fix anything on our house, inside and out, never ceases to amaze me! But even more is how incredible he is with our 6 year old daughter! He is the love of our lives!!

Happy Fathers Day! I love that the minute my husband walks through the door, I cease to exist and the kids run flying away from me to him- he is such a good dad! AND he helps with the laundry. enough said.
Megan McC says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my dad is how he always puts his kids first, no matter what the cost to him or his dignity (i.e. the endless “hairdressing” his daughters put him through when we were young)

Katie C. says
Happy father’s day!
My dad loves building and fixing stuff (he even does the Tim Allen grunts), and he always listens to classic rock when he does so. I guess that’s pretty manly? Except now I do that kind of thing too – classic rock included – and I’d prefer not to be referred to in that way…
Kelli Dahl says

Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is his crazy energy. Last year he ran a half-marathon and then proceeded to buy a play set off Craigslist, drive 45 min and disassemble it by himself IN A RAINSTORM. All for our equally crazy-energetic boys.

We’ll be celebrating with a rugged outdoors road trip to the National Parks! Talk about living in the outdoors for two weeks!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is how hard working he is! He constantly amazes me about how much he can get done and how much he will put into getting something done!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love it when my white collar husband lets his stubble grow out on the weekends. I especially love it when I see him fixing something on his ladder. It’s an odd turn on.

Happy Father’s Day! My dad’s manliest quality is that he is always there for his family when we need him and he has always stuck by us all no matter what. The other night he kicked my mom in his sleep because he was dreaming that he was protecting my son from a weasel! :)

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
