***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.

My dad not only raised 3 girls, but now that he’s retired he takes care of my 2 nieces every day, ages 4 years and 8 months. It takes a pretty manly guy to put up with watching My Little Ponies.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! On most every day I would rave about the manliness of my most wonderful husband. But today, just hours ago, my brother became a father for the first time. Dear Ed, the manliest thing you do is claim a newborn boy as your own son and promise to raise him in the Way. I am so proud of you today.

Happy Father’s Day!
Lara says
Happy Father’s Day!
There are so many things about my husband that I admire. Last night I watched him make our 7 month daughter laugh over and over again by hiccupping. And he’s amazed me with his home improvement abilities. Since we’ve bought our home 7 months ago, he’s fixed toilets, leaks, garage doors, windows, and so much more. (yes, we bought a house and had a baby at the same time)
Eileen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Well, my husband DOES sweat alot. ;) That’s kinda manly.
He’s not a Mr. Fix-it, but he’s always willing to help out where he can. To me, that’s the attribute of a real man.
Rachel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My man has a manly love of meat!
Kate says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! This year marks my husband’s last year as “just a husband”. Next year he’ll have his own little one to supply him with macaroni works of art and crayon scribbles on the wall. As our 3 year old nephew warns “The party’s over”.
Jessica says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my Dad is his ability to be the baby whisperer with his grandkids. He loves putting them to bed and getting down on the floor to play. Not bad for a 72-year-old!
My husband is just as awesome. He manages to teach science to freshman and still have the energy to come home and play with our one-year old and golden.
I’m one lucky gal!
Rachel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
I’m celebrating my husband, who can do it all: make us dinner, demo for our basement remodel, and then rock our son to sleep.
Tova says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
This year I will be celebrating the man who taught me how to wield a drill, hang sheet-rock and change a tire. I’m a lucky girl to have such a great dad!
Laura says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my husband respects others, and he always stops on the side of the road to help women with car trouble. He’s a keeper!
DRMegan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love my Dad’s jokes and silliness.
Ali Miller says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband can fix anything, but what really gets me is his patience with other people. We recently had a terrible falling out with my step-son, who said some things to his father that I would never dream saying to any human being on earth. My husband was the king of patience, repeatedly asking what we could do to resolve the situation. I would not have reacted so calmly. He is amazing.
Nicole says
Happy Fathers Day!
I love how my dad is manly enough to ask for directions and read the instruction manual when need be :)
Jennifer says
Happy Fathers Day!!!
The greatest things about my dad is his love of people – both as a father and in his work, he is a true leader who you can’t help but respect. I’ve never met anyone more encouraging, loyal, and charismatic – he makes you feel like the most important person in the world when you talk to him!
Heather says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! My uncle cannot be trusted when the words “I wonder what the house would look like with this wall taken out…” and then you leave for work. There will be no wall there when you get home. This has happened on multiple occasions.
Abby says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is that he fought cancer like a champ. Praise the Lord that he is now cancer-free!!!!!!!
Cheryl says
Happy Father’s Day!! My hubby is a manly man who can fix just about anything he puts his mind too. My girls are so lucky to have him for their daddy!
