***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.

I love that my husband is so handy around the house. Not only does he clean, he paints, fixes things, and does the yard work! I’m one lucky gal!
Emma says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my dad is building a shed in our yard right now because he was convinced that he could build it better and less expensive than buying one!
Abigail says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is manly because he gets up and goes to work everyday while I stay home with our little man, Zane. That pretty much rocks my world and I’m the luckiest girl I know….Happy Father’s Day, Babe!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! This will be my hubby’s first fathers day (baby #1 is on the way) and the most manly things about him are his beard and his ability to make hard decisions. Love that man!
Tracey says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is that he can literally fix anything. from a car, to a computer, to a broken piece of jewelry, hand it over to him and he will fix it right up!
Erica says
Happy Father’s Day!! I admire so much about both my husband and my father– most of all, though, they share the courage to just jump in and figure something out. Failure is just one more step towards success!

Michelle says
Happy Fathers Day! I love that my husband will try anything!
Julie says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
The manliest thing about my dad is his ethic of hard work. Growing up, he always told me that effort was more important than achievement. When my report cards came back from school he’d give me $ for A’s in effort, but nothing for A’s in achievement. This might be why I always get more satisfaction in the “doing” of a project than the final product. :-)

jarman says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love listening from the other room while my husband lovingly reads a book or sings quietly to our son as he puts him to bed. Of course he doesn’t know I am listening but that makes it so much sweeter!

Happy Father’s Day. My dad can care for his grandchildren’s scraps and scratches like no other!

I admire that my Dad rarely complains about personal issues. He could be going through stress, or a physical challenge, but he doesn’t seek sympathy, because he’d rather just get what needs to be done, done.

Happy Father’s Day!! The manliest thing about my dad is his ability to fix anything.
Cheryl says

General Mr Fix-It is the trend around here – both our fathers would take on just about anything and my husband does the same!
