***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 1 I love the way my husband Tom puts spending time with our kids ( now 22 and 25) more important than things of this world!

Happy Father’s Day!
I’d love to get that gift card and put it toward a new chain saw — my husband is about to put in some manly action on cutting branches off of two huge trees that fell in our garden this morning, significantly damaging about 15 years of extensive landscaping (trying not to cry –).
jamie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing my dad has done was approve/deny my sister’s husband’s request for her hand in marriage based on a tool identification quiz my dad set up. (He passed!)

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
One of my favorite qualities is his integrity!
Sunny says
Happy Fathers Day!
My husband amazed me with his DIY skills when we were redoing our basement. He knew exactly what we were doing it taking it from unfinished to its current sheetrock state…if we win maybe we can get it closer to completion ;)
sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! i love how my dad always tries to rescue us… even just from little things like not having a comfy desk chair as a college freshman when your roommate has one. :)

Christine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My step dad is a seriously awesome fix-it, DIY guy. He and a friend built a huge back deck and gazebo in my parents back yard a few years ago and I’m still impressed at what an amazing job they did.
Amanda J says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is always cleaning and staying busy, I rarely see him sit down and relax.

Jolleen Fahner says
Happy Father’s Day!
The most manly thing about my hubby is how great he is with our kiddos… If I win this giveaway, I will be hte one doing the DIY project, while he plays with the kids!
Keelan says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my dad can make everyone happy by cracking a joke or telling a funny story right when we need to hear it.
Robin Witte says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
Without a doubt I love that my husband has no qualms about attempting something new and getting dirty while trying! He has a special section of “work” clothes and his work boots are currently held together with duct tape
Jackie says
happy father’s day! My dad somehow seems to know how to solve every home related issue that we have. I don’t know how he does it, but I can call him with any question and he’s got a fix for it.
Elaine R says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad has always been a handy man and I know I get my love of DIY from him!
Lou Anne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad’s manliest quality would have to be his career – carpentry. He’s worked manual labor outdoors all his life, and he is still as fit and healthy as ever at 60! Thank God for that. The thing I will always remember is his hands; they always have bruises, cuts, and scrapes – the markings of a hard worker! He taught me that providing for his family through an honest day’s work is the manliest thing he could do.
Erin B says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my husband is a manly man. He can fix just about anything around the house but don’t ask him to try to bake. The man can’t even bake box brownies. I love it.
erin c. says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my dad can do practically anything athletically or out in the yard, but his manliest trait is loving my mom.
Amanda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my dad can fix ANYTHING…….if only that was the case with my hubby :)
Cheri says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is that although he knows how to fix absolutely anything, can’t grill without a beer in hand and loves watching sports, he can play barbies or LEGOS with the kids like a champ and never ever complains when I pick out a chick flick for movie night. He’s pretty perfect :)
Renee says
Happy Faither’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is how he cares for me and our children. After being re-single for 6.5 years, it was utter joy for us to find one another.
Pam M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad could always fix and do anything. My DH has never met a project he couldn’t handle. My son…. well, the jury’s still out on him!
Laura says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My Granddad has been the manliest of manly for as long as I can remember. But the manliest thing I’ve seen him do was right after my grandmother had surgery, he took off from work and has been tending her 24/7. He called me ever so proud of himself when he went grocery shopping for the first time on his own! He is a superhero to our family.
Caitlin says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s manliest quality is that no amount of macho could keep him from making silly voices and goofing around with our son.
Lisa P. says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my hubby is seeing him play with our two boys
Alisa says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
My husbands manliest quality is how amazing he is with our 5 month old daughter. She absolutely lights up when he walks into her line of sight :)
lo says
Happy father’s day! My sweetie and I have been talking kiddos recently, which is quite the shift for him from when we first started dating 12 years ago … I bought him a sweet circular saw (cause we needed it anyway) and called it a “happy possibly considering being a father’s day” present :)
Emily says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
My husband is dad to our cat and dog. He is always ready to help me with whatever project I dream up. And he takes care of the occasional spider or bug.. :)
Lesley says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband can fix anything/build anything/reno anything! He has worked so hard to turn our house into a home, and I’m so proud of him.

Elizabeth M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
The manliest part of my dad is definitely his facial hair! He’s had it as long as I can remember and it’s earned him the nickname Griz among his friends.
Jamie says
Happy Father’s Day!
Kristen Miller says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband can bench-press a Buick. (Well may be not exactly, but he can bench-press A LOT!) :) Hotness!
Jamie says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad has the ability to do whatever he puts his mind to, whether its fixing some plumbing, building a clubhouse, fixing the car or playing with his grandkids!

catie says
Happy Father’s Day!! My dad is quite a character and can hold a crowd like no other.
Erin says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband’s manliest quality is his ability to demonstrate balance to our children. He works 1 1/2 jobs, goes to school full time, but still makes time to play with our kids and enjoy life.
Chelsea @ Chelsea Eats Treats says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is the best dad in the world and can fix anything. He would love this :)
