***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.

The manliest thing about my husband is his willingness to strap the baby to his chest and go about his business, without worrying about what the other guys on the street might be thinking. Because really, nothing says manly like a man with a Bjorn!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Besides the fact that my husband is all man and Mr. Fix It, he’s proved his manliness in so many ways through the trials we’ve faced trying to start a family. And, hopefully, this is the last father’s day that he gets a card from just the dogs. ;)
AndreaP says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Besides being a great example and a great father to me, my dads manliest quality is the fact that he talks very little but when he words do come out of his mouth they are either very wise or hilarious.
KT says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY –
one of my husband’s “manliest” qualities is his ability to totally dominate any and all grilling recipes

I love that I can call my dad with just about anything and he will know what to do to fix it — and if it is unfixable at home he knows just who to call to get the job done!
Mandy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad’s manliest quality in the most traditional sense is that he always was and still is a fantastic provider to our family. He sacrificed so much to give us the life he felt we deserved. But what really makes him a fantastic Dad is his heart.

HAPPY FATHER”S DAY!
This will be my boyfriend’s first (pseudo)father’s day; we just rescued/adopted a dog from a shelter last Thursday! Since we don’t want human children, this will be the closest he comes to being a dad! His manliest quality? Definitely his beard! I love it!
Meg says
Hmmm, did I get eaten by the filter? Other that posted after me are showing up. Well, I’ll try again:
