***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!”
I’m celebrating three dad’s this year:
*my father, who really is a diy master; growing up it seemed he could build or repair just about anything.
*my brother, who helped give me the cutest neice ever this year(and bought me my first real power tool!).
*my step-dad, who is diy-challenged, but has shown me what a “man” really is by how he treats my mom.
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day!
Definitely the ability to fix anything. I always loved that my dad could build or fix so many things (so much so that I married a man who can do the same!)
Amanda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my father is how well he takes care of my mother and how many sacrifices he’s made for his family. I can also call him with any question about fixing something and he has the answer!
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my hubby is his ability to fix absolutely everything (after first taking it apart!)
Meg says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing my husband does is go from wresting with our boys to letting our daughter brush his hair in a split second. Nothing more manly than a good dad!
Caitlin P. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love my Dad’s attempt at fixing everything (even if he doesn’t always actually fix it…) :)
Erin says
Happy Father’s Day! This father’s day I will be celebrating my husband. Not only are expecting our first baby in September, but it’s the 17th is his birthday. His manly duty will be working on building a shed.
Mackenzie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad has the best explanations for anything & everything. Also, he’s quite the technology wiz.
~Michelle~ says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! to my wonderful soon-to-be-a-father hubby! My favorite thing about him is his willingness to try any project once!
Rebekah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad can fix anything; I love the smell of him coming in from the garage filthy and smelling like oil. Reminds me of my childhood!
Heidi Maranell says
Happy Father’s Day – I love seeing my husband wrestle with our 3 young kids. They ask him to wrestle the SECOND he walks in the door each night!
Jessica S. says
Happy Father’s Day!! I love that my husband helps out around the house and lets me take naps on Sundays. Love him.
Erica says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I always tell my husband I think i is manly and sexy when he cleans the house…just encouraging him to do it more. This weekend he fixed a major leak. I have to admit, it was pretty manly.
Kimberly says
Happy Father’s Day!
Growing up I was amazed by how much my dad loved his job, and I admired how hard he worked. He is a small-town physician and truly enjoys helping people through his work. He loves his patients and when we would go out to eat or to church everyone called him “Doc.” I can remember feeling really proud of him even when I was little.
Lindsey says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Your first choice “nailed” it…. my dad can fix anything!
Melissa M. says
I think the best qualities about my hubby and my dad are that they can fix just about anything! They are so handy to have around, saves a lot of money on plumbers, electricians, mechanics, etc.
Kim says
Happy Father’s Day!
Amanda says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my dad is how he can kill spiders without flinching. I’m pretty sure he could also fight a bear.
andie mac says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing of my husband is how he is with his sons. He made it his mission for our autistic son to accept his hugs and just kept at it. Now he runs to dad – love it!
Andrea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband is at his manliest when he is bragging about his Wall-E style collection of parts for our Roomba and how he enjoys when it breaks just so he can tinker with it to soup it up.
ali says

I love that my dad can help me understand anything financial and is a great directions guru!
danielle says
happy father’s day!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My man’s “manliest” quality is that he’s a soldier. I have a huge amount of respect for him for that.
Oh and my own Dad – he knows practically every back road ever. How does he do that?!

RD Shugart says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! We have all girls and I love the way my husband plays with them, helps them paint their fingernails/toenails and stuff, takes them swimming at the pool and the lake and is generally their hero. :)
Kara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Sarah R. says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is his chest hair. Just being honest with y’all. It would make Magnum PI jealous.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! I love that my husband can fix everything…including dinner!!
Heather Gearhart says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is his kick ass grilling abilities. :)
Nina says
Happy Father’s Day! I swear my dad knows everything about everything… well, almost everything! I remember asking my dad SO many questions and him having a logical answer to everything. Not only that, he knows how to fix just about anything. Tell him about your broken [fill in the blank] and he’ll tell you how to fix it. Mimic the sound your broken car makes and he’ll give you a diagnostic! Amazing. I love that guy!
Laura says
Happy fathers day! Two things: my dads ability to fix anything and his great sense of direction– we call it his internal gps!
Candice M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I think the manliest quality in a dad is actually patience. I like a guy that keeps his cool even when everything around him is chaos. That makes a good dad, if you ask me.
Connie says
Happy Fathers Day!
I am lucky enough to have two dads, 2 grandpas and a brother to celebrate this fathers day! The manliest thing they all do is love their wives and kids with a passion that makes me want a family of my own!
Colleen says
Happy fathers day!
Lana says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! All the men in my life are not only manly, but loving. I appreciated that in my dad and now in my husband, too.
Brent says
HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY! The manliest things about my dad is his ability to do almost any project around the house. He is in the process of teaching me how to do all the handyman stuff around my old (but new to me) house. He has helped me with electrical, plumbing, installing flooring, painting, installing cabinets … and the list goes on. He has been such a help to me and my wife!
Kellee says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that I can call my Dad with whatever project I have in mind and know that he can handle it!
Julie says
PS, I will also never be scared of DIY thanks to him, do it yourself or not at all.
pallavi says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is the manliest man I know, he is the KING of DIY and taught me everything. My brother and my husband have nothing on him!
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I think the manliest thing about my dad is how supportive and sincere he is when my brother or I come to him with a problem!

Kristi says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! My hubby loves to spend time with the kids, especially at the pool. Love that.
Courtney Edwards says
Happy Father’s Day! My dadd’s manliest quality is his willingness to tackle any home improvement project he comes across. Tear down a complete outer wall of the house? Sure! Does it take a while to get done? Absolutely!
Jamie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad always stands up for what he thinks is right, even if it’s not the popular choice. I admire him and am proud to call him my dad.
Kathleen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! MY husband’s manliest trait it his ca-do attitude. When we first bought our house we didn’t know anything about improving or maintaining a home, but now he’s taught himself how to do it all!
Kelly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband is that he allows me to assist when he’s working on things around the house. A lot of men I know take pride in doing things by themselves, but my husband is always willing to share the glory of a finished project!
Ashleigh M says
Happy fathers day!!!
