***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!
The manliest trait of my husband is that he became a first time instant father to a 4 and 5 year old the day we were married! And he is doing a darn good job at it :)

Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband is his theory that yelling (I mean, ahem, coaching in a loud volume) at the TV during any sporting event will influence the outcome. Or in the alternative, stopping watching any game to avoid being the jinx and allowing the team win. I LOVE it.
Rose C. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love my dad’s caring spirit and my husband’s confidence (and he’s a great dad to our four-legged beast).

Liz says
Happy Father’s Day!
My super sarcastic–snarky guy melts into a puddle of baby-talk when our dog Reagan jumps in his lap. Hearing how much he loves our girl is just adorable.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My hubby’s manliest quality is his love of guns and hunting. Sometimes I have to roll my eyes at his level of passion for the sport…but I can’t complain when I don’t have to buy meat for an entire year!
Patti says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My dad can give you directions to ANYWHERE!
Megan H. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My Dad is GREAT with cars. I have never had to take mine to a shop to get it fixed. I always trade him a pecan pie for his fix-it services!
Alison says
Happy Father’s Day!
I think the manliest thing about my Dad is that he is a devoted family man who would move mountains for his daughters and is still madly in love with his wife after 33 years of marriage. A real man is a loyal man in my book! (cheesy…I know…sorry!) :-)
Leslie says
Happy Father’s Day!
My Dad is a huge baseball fan and he thinks it makes him manly:). I try to tell him that sitting in the recliner and watching it doesn’t actually make it so!
Callie says
Happy Father’s Day! I love how my dad can figure out any mechanical thing around the house/car/yard, by careful reading and patient logical work. He even has a shirt that says “Real Men Read the Instructions”! He’s currently read some carpentry books and is building an awesome big garden shed that will be as sturdy as a house and look like a cottage, with a little porch and designed door and antique windows. Too cool :)
Traci says
Happy Father’s Day!!
The manliest thing about my hubby is he is soon to be the father of our child!!!
