***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! My husband’s manliest quality is probably muttering a lot when trying to put stuff together, haha. I’m hoping this drill would help!
Marlea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
The manliest thing my Dad does is showing his love through actions. He’s not much of a talker, but I’ve never wanted for anything and I think that’s pretty manly.
xo,
Ashley
Rachel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My father’s most manly quality is probably his ability to fix anything wrong with my car. I really miss that now that I live far away from him! He taught us great things growing up, and he had to do it as the only man in the house.

Happy Father’s day! I love all the furniture and paintings decorating my home made by my father! They are true treasures.
Ana says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I am so lucky to be surrounded by amazing fathers!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
I’ll be celebrating with my future husband. He can fix or building anything, but he doesn’t like painting. Guess I can cover painting!!
Oh, yeah, he’s an awesome cook. So I’ll clean! On the search now for our perfect homestead.
Maira says
Happy Father’s Day!
The thing I love about my dad is that he can make a smoker out of an old water heater! Recycling at its best! And about my man, his mad DIY skills!! Happy father’s day John! Hope Sherry, Clara & Burger make it an extra special day!
Amanda W. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad does the classic man things of smoking cigars and drinking martinis (shaken not stirred).
Meg M says
Happy Father’s Day!
My hubby can seriously fix anything! I love that about him!
(If we win, I am so keeping the drill! Under 3 lbs sounds like a great power tool for this weakling!)

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is the fact that he can’t match his own cothes without the help of my mom.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
We have a family of contractors – woodworkers and carpenters. But my favorite thing about the men in my family is that they love being Daddy!
Stefanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Growing up I always thought of my dad as a manly dude – but really, I think the manliest thing he did was mowing the lawn, and in the ’80s he did that in short-shorts and a bandana! Of course, that was the style back then. I used to dress up like him and ‘mow’ our driveway with my playskool popping push mower. We were quite the pair!
Carrie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest quality of my dad is his ability to fix anything. Heck, he built the house I grew up in.
But… I don’t really know if that is a manly quality. I either learned it from him or inherited it or a little bit of both. (Nature vs. nurture here!) And I’m not manly at all. I don’t think. :)
Liz says
Happy Fathers Day
I love how my husband treats my little brothers and sisters, who range between 8-12 years old, like they were his own siblings. They’ve loved him since the day they met him.
Jonathan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Unfortunately, I won’t be spending the day with my dad (deceased) or my father-in-law (awesome role model and example of how to be a loving father and husband). I will however be spending it with my two precious girls (wife and 18-month old daughter).
lisa says
Happy Fathers’ Day!
He is totally unfazed by everything – whatever goes down, he’ll handle it!
Bianca says
Happy Fathers day!
The manliest thing about my husband is his ability to grow full facial hair in a couple day. When we first met in high school he had a couple little chin hairs he refused to cut because according to him “those chin hairs gave him street cred.” I love seeing his facial hair-it reminds me how much we’ve grown up together.
Rachel says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is that he likes to play video games, which is more boyliest but still. I’m the fixer in the house :P
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is a gardening guru. He’s pretty manly out there, even among those delicate flowers he grows.
Faith Plvan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad’s an inventor!
Rebecka says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dads sense of humor – very cool guy.
