***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! Our dads can make anything with their hands.
Tara says
Happy Father’s Day!
My partner’s “manliest” trait is being an awesome dad to our four kids – even when the Navy takes him far away. He’s gone without sleep to make sure that he could call them from a foreign port when it was convenient for us here, and he’s set aside his dislike of pictures and sight-seeing so that the whole family can have awesome experiences. :)
Traci says
Happy Father’s Day
The manliest thing about my husband is how much he loves our daughter. He is such a patient, kind, caring and loving Papa; she is such a lucky little girl to have him (and I am lucky for this too!)
Jamie says
Happy father’s day!
The manliest thing about my husband is how he is completely unafraid to be an involved father, even if some people think it’s a mom’s job to change diapers, feed kids, etc. My husband totally loves being a father and is unafraid to show it, and I love that about him.
Meghan says

My husband can grow a full man-beard in the blink of an eye. He sports the bearded look in the fall/winter and shows off his handsome jawline in the warmer months. It’s super manly!

Rochelle says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad can do and does do everything. He has built his own house and houses for his friends, and they are glorious! He DIYs everything he can. He runs at least 8 miles a day and sails, and flies planes. He can seriously just think, I want to do that, and he does it perfectly!
Ms. Amy says

Happy Fathers Day–my dad can leap over tall buildings, see through steel walls, and carve kayaks out of tree trunks. One of those might not actually be true.
Kirstin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Lindsay says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad seemingly can fix anything! Even though I’m “grown up”, I can call him about anything and he’s always willing to help. He’s the best. :)
Diane says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is Mr. Fix it – the manliest thing about him is how he always knows how to tackle any problem and he is so creative with solutions. More than that, he always go above and beyond to help me and my husband figure out projects around our new home.
Angelo says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Rach says
Happy Father’s Day
My dad just retired from 25 years as working as a full time fire fighter. He has saved lives, held hands of grieving widows, hugged strangers, calmed the scared, encouraged the weak, risked his life, and loved on his team. He is an awesome worker, never stops, never will:)

Kim H says
Happy Father’s Day!!!!
For both my husband – he can make me laugh like no other and although he isn’t the handiest guy around, he gives everything he does 100% effort. He also doesn’t have a problem with me calling my dad for a fix it when we’re in a jam. :)
Salena Santos says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that husband can fix almost about anything. I don’t know what I would do without him. He is amazing.
Becky says
Happy Fathers’ Day! The manliest thing about my stepdad is his ability to listen without judging. It’s like a breath of fresh air to come to him with a concern and know he’ll consider it carefully before he reacts.
Carole Kampf says
Happy fathers day! I can ask my dad anything and he will have an answer or find one.
Michelle says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husbands manliest quality is how he handles nail polish! He’ll sit on the floor with me & our girl and happily paint our toes any color we want. He’s a firearms instructor by day and a super big cuddler by night… and we love it! <3
Michelle M. says
Happy Father’s Day! I love the fact that my dad can fix pretty much anything, knows something about every subject in the universe, yet is “soft” enough to care about and spend time with me. Although I haven’t taken him up on the offer, he did say that he’d get a mani/pedi with me. Now how cool is that?
Julie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My Dad is so handy. Whenever my parents come to visit (usually once a year since they live 12 hours away) I always give him a list of things to build/fix around the house. He not only gets every job on the list done, but he’s more than happy to do it knowing that we appreciate it so, so much!
Stephanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My boyfriend is a single Father of 4 kids under the age of 13! That’s pretty manly if you ask me! Other than that, he’s as manly as they get. Sports, food, cars, everything!
Sara C says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is the grill MASTER! Seriously, he doesn’t just do burgers and dogs….he has cooked whole bison roasts with baked beans and asparagus sides….all on the grill! If that’s not manly, I don’t know what is.
Frogbayn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My sweetie’s manliest quality is that he eats quiche, because real men don’t care what others think of them :-)
