***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!
The manliest thing about my pop is his soft spot for all of his kids… we can never escape without a hug and a big smooch (and all 4 of us are 23+), his hugs still make me feel like a little girl. Love him!

My lovely husband will fix anything (whether it really needed fixing is another question) and is awesome in the kitchen too!
Rosa says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad was always the Mr. Fix it around our house. I always found that to be a manly quality in him. I liked it so much that I gravitated towards that quality in my husband.

My dad is always interested in what interests me. On my bouts of eating certain foods, sports activities, hobbies, even the craziest stuff he always showed he cared about it if I cared about it.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
Although my husband has MANY manly qualities i could post here….i would rather post the most un-manly quality but most ATTRACTIVE quality…the way he plays “mr. mom” on his days off with our 4 month old son….definatley makes this momma’s heart melt! :)

Happy Fathers’ Day! Watching my husband help take care of our son does it for me! We just started potty training, and he’s been a huge help.
Kelly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! When my husband gets his discipline tone with our son it reminds me sooo much of being a kid and hearing it from MY dad :)

Jacie says
Happy Father’s Day!!
I admire my dad’s thoughtfulness. Also, he’s a very gifted architect and contractor, so I admire his oodles of design/build skills. And he would LOVE this drill…in fact we built some tomato trellises together this weekend and he mentioned he needed a new cordless drill to accompany his corded one…in retrospect..maybe that was a hint?!
Tina says
Happy Father’s Day!
I’m almost 40 years old and I STILL call my dad whenever ANYTHING at my house breaks! He has ALMOST every tool you would every need. If he doesn’t know how to fix it. He will research on how to fix it. The bonus is he never gives me a bill! LOL
Stephanie says
Happy Father’s Day! I think watching my husband let our daughter’s paint his toes is very manly because his love for them supercedes his dislike for pink and the fact that his feet are soooo ticklish!!
Jayme says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is THE Mr. Fix-It, he somehow always knows how to fix anything. Take apart a vacuum? No problem. Fix that weird noise coming from your car? Done.
My husband has yet to learn all the tricks of the trade, but he works so hard to provide for us. And he’s slowly but surely picking up tools as he goes along,learning everything he can. Pretty soon he’ll be just like my dad.
Richie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
His hands could crush a beer bottle!

Maury @ Life on Mars says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My hubs is incredible. He’s picked up this DIY thing so fast and now he’s building things and wiring things and he never had a father that did all that, so he’s really learning from my Dad which has been such a cool way for them to bond.
JoLyn says
HAPPY FATHER’s DAY
The manliest thing about my husband is he takes care of the dishes, best thing ever.
Nupur says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband (and baby daddy) is the tenderness he shows to our baby and dog. Both of them light up with joy when they see him and that speaks for itself.
Addie says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my hubby is handy and can fix/build/make just about anything. He would LOVE this fab freebie!!!
Emily says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
I love that my father knew how to fix anything and everything. Not only that, but he took the time to teach us (me and my 3 siblings) how to do it ourselves. Thanks to him, I am one handy lady!

We don’t have any kiddos yet, but my husband is the best DOG FATHER EVER!
Alix says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is pretty cool…not only can he build anything, including two of the homes I grew up in, lately he’s been encouraging my mom’s fiber artistry by building her LOOMS! Nothing says rugged like a dude who’ll string the warp for ya! :)
Miranda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love how my dad and husband have detailed conversations about seemingly every player, coach, etc. of every sport. They both know their stuff and I love how it brings them together.

Michelle says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My sweet husband has many wonderful qualities, but the “manliest” among them is his ability to always come home greasy (even from the office.) It’s a neat trick.
Jenny A. says
Happy Father’s Day! My man is the best parent-partner in the world. I seriously couldn’t do it without him. I also have a great dad, so I’m truly blessed.
