***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!
While we don’t have children yet, my husband absolutely deserves a day of celebration. We’ve had some rough times over the last few years, and his ability to carry on and work toward our future makes him the strongest, “manliest” man I know. Love him!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! The manliest thing about my awesome boyfriend is his creativity and ablity to fix anything! We rent and he has made our house a “home” by adding special touches like a hand made cutting board, a handy-dandy hidden trash can drawer, and awesome built in desk. Not to mention he fixes cars, motorcylces, and made a gas powered blender so we can make margaritas while camping. :) The giftcard will definitely go to good use with him.

He truly stepped up to the plate as a MAN!!!

Happy fathers day!
I am a single mom, so we will be celebrating my father. He’s like a real life Tim Allen. He owns an electrical contracting company, but isn’t so handy. Although we will be building a deck in a few weeks so hopefully he isn’t too bad!
Heather says
HAPPY FATHER”S DAY!! I love that my husband teaches our son, so many things that I never learned as a kid….how to fly a kite, how to paint, how to clean up a mess, how to have passion about life. It is amazing.
jana says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is a great woodworker and builder, and I know he could use this prize because he needs a new drill! My husband is pretty manly, too, for a stay-at-home dad and poet.
Alex says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad’s “manliest” quality was learned from his mother: cooking. He is a spectacular chef. The youngest by years, he was his mother’s helper in the kitchen. He keeps her memory alive when he cooks.
The things he has taught me, both in the kitchen and in his woodworking shop (he restored an old mountain cabin in NH–cedar shingles and all, by hand.) As an extended family, we all trek up to the mountains to help, with promises of his homemade pancakes, or chicken wings, or hand mixed burgers as our enticement.
