***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.

Laura Adelman says
Happy Fathers Day.
The “manliest” quality of my father is his green thumb. Give him any plant and he can make it grow. I often take my “sick” plants to him for his green thumb to nurse it back to health!
Karen says
I would love to win this for my hubby. He is very handy.
The quality I would have to say I love most is that he is a totally lay his life down for his family kind of guy. He is tough on the outside but there isn’t anything he would do for his little girls. Including dressing Barbies when necessary. Gotta love him.
Leah says
Happy father’s day! I can’t get enough of watching my husband be an amazing dad to our two boys!

Ryan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Loyalty :-)
Desi says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY – I am celebrating my Dad and my husband (the father of my children) this coming Sunday. I think the most “manly” quality they both share is that they love their children unconditionally and show it every day…what could be more manly then that?
Ashley says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
My puppy daddy plays a mean tug of war!
Jessica says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! I love just seeing my husband and son interact. It’s the best!

Meghan Lindsay says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love seeing manly men playing with little kids and loving every second of it.
Katherine W. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! I think the manliest quality my dad has is the fact he is a farmer and that he can fix anything. Like my car everytime it breaks down. He also works hard to take care of his family. I think that’s his best quality!
Mary says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Amy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manly quality I appreciate most about my Dad is his ability to have an answer for just about any DIY/handyman/car/life question I’ve ever asked him. He is an extremely useful person to have around ;)
Katie says
Besides being an awesome Dad, my Dad spent 22+ years in the Army. What a man!
Kristin C. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Manliest quality about the Hubs is when he comes in from the shop all greasy from working on tractors and the manly man melts on the spot when our lil’ one comes running yelling “daddy!” =)
Julie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
Except I really want the prize for myself. And I’m not a man or a father -more like a chick and a mother! :0
Shary says
Happy Father’s Day!!
I love the way my husband invests in our 2 sons by spending time with them (even doing things he doesn’t care for), praying for and with them, and teaching them important life skills.
Holly says
Happy Father’s Day!! I find my husband to be at his manliest when he cuddles our two young children. I’m a sucker for the softer side!
Laura B says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, My husband is an awesome Dad to our two little boys and an amazing diyer (he has made our house beautiful). He would love this.
Amber says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s manliest feature is his beard. It’s very full and luscious.
Amy S says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband does pretty much all the laundry and changing of diapers. I’m the handy one :) Maybe a better gift would be for me to keep the gift card, use it, then show him the refinished Master Bathroom?
Emily says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband (and father of our two kids) is how he is always willing to help me out with my (sometimes insane) projects. And he’s really good at fixing the vacuum cleaner, too.
LeVar Williams says
Happy Father’s Day. Great day of the year for all father’s.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my man is his ability to fix the garage door 10 seconds after looking at it when I seemed to break it with the side view mirror of the car, oops!
Jessica D says
Happy Father’s Day!
This is my husband’s first father’s day, and he is the best tub scrubber ever! I have a bad back, and he always cleans the tubs/showers in our apartment. He is such a huge help without ever complaining.
Kelli Yates says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband is fantastic at working/restoring old cars. It is awesome/amazingly manly that he can do all the repairs on our cars by himself. No mechanic needed! :)

Happy Father’s Day! I love how my Dad kills all of the spiders for me… =)

There is nothing that my husband can’t grill.
He is a great cook and better father.

Happy Father’s Day!The manliest thing about my husband is that he lets himself be vulnerable with me. Takes a real man to be able to show his soft side :)
Amber says
Happy father’s day
And no celebration, my dad passed away 7 years ago. :\
LARY@ Inspiration Nook says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad can fix anything, build anything and cook anything. Triple threat maybe? :)
hyzen says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband’s manliest qualities? Maybe the ability to fix just about anything around the house, or maybe his reassuring presence–it is so comforting to have him around, because he is a great problem solver, has a crazy sense of direction, and just has wonderful common sense.
Kelsi G says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My dad can can fix anything!
Michelle @ Lifewithacrazypup says

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love having carefully considered conversations with my dad. His 65th birthday is next week, so we’ll actually be spending Father’s Day throwing him a surprise party!
Emily says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
We were at a wedding this weekend. My 4 yr old daughter wanted to dance. So, my husband picked her up and danced with her. Too precious!
Amanda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
I think the manliest quality in my dad is his “puttering.” He’s always wandering around the basement/garage/yard, working on random tasks. Sometimes just cleaning up and maintenance, other times, building shelves or making cuts for molding. He’s a cool guy. I love ‘im.
