***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 coaches our kids’ pitching machine baseball team. He is SO GREAT with kids and I love watching them interact!
Julie C. says
Happy Father’s Day!! I love how my husband plays with our daughter. He does it all; from chasing her around the house to having tea parties and cookies.
Laura says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manilest thing about my dad is that he lives off the land with what he kills and grows!
Dayla says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my guy is his ability to do or fix everything! If only, he could finish a project before moving on to the next!
Kristin says
Happy Father’s Day
The manliest thing about my dad is that he can build, fix, or grow anything with nothing more than some tools and a box of junk he uses for spare parts.
Anya C says
Happy fathers day!!!
My husband is smart, and good looking, and the best daddy ever. (all that = pretty darn manly!)
Bonnie Sayers says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! My hubby’s manliest quality is his knowledge of all things wild, which he honed as a boy scout for 20 years and is now perfecting as an environmental scientist.
Danielle says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My Superdad’s manliest quality is not his mustache (he can’t grow one), or his ability to fix everything (since I hold the best plumber/painter awards), but his hero status. He’s a firefighter who save babies and kittens (at least that’s what he says he does when he’s too tired to make his own sandwich).
Karina Z says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I have three sisters. When we were younger, we were all obssessed with all sorts of girly things including dresses with sashes that tied into bows. We’d line up to have our dad tie these sashes into fat fluffy bows, I don’t know why/how this became his “job” but he was very good at it!
AmandaonMaui says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my dad was man enough to take on the task of raising two little girls by himself (at least until he remarried).
Laura D says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my husband (and father of my child and bun in the oven) is his desire to support and love our family. And he rocks out whenever he had the head phones in, especially if he is doing yard work.
Lindy says
Happy father’s day! The manliest thing is the willingness to drop down everything at a second’s notice to help out with whatever (most of the time :)!
Brianna Hafen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is seeing him turn to putty when our little three year old daughter hugs him. Melts my heart!
Cindy says
The manliest thing about my husband is the way he takes care of our son, who has special needs. He is an AWESOME dad!!!
Andrea says
Happy Father’s Day! He cooks, cleans, changes diapers, and spends every weekend alone with the kids while I work.
joyjoy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my hubby is how much he loves our little girl on the way! The guy is completely sprung, and we still have a couple months before we meet her. :-)
Sarah B says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
When I see my dad playing with my kids the same way he played with me.
Alexandra says
Happy Father’s Day!
I’ll be celebrating my dad, who is a retired auto mechanic and always fixes my car for me!
Kathy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My man can fix anything! And it’s kinda cute when he bangs his head on something, it is like a badge of honor. He is amazing though…
Becky says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
rebann says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My Dad’s manliest quality has to be his outdoorsiness. He’s a biologist, so I guess it’s not much a surprise, but he’d never turn down an opportunity to turn something gross (owl pellets, dead critters, scat, etc.) into an interesting nature lesson.
Kolby says
Happy Father’s Day!!
Kali DeBoer says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The hubby is home with our 11-month old daughter (and two Bassets) two days a week while he completes his Masters during his summer break from teaching – there is nothing more manly to me.
Chan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is just finishing a home remodel and would love to have little extra help!
Jak says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
He took the time to teach me how to learn vs. telling me what to do.
Allison says
Happy Father’s Day! I will be celebrating my father-in-law who has a new perspective on life after surviving a major heart attack (which typically has a 6-ish % survival rate) with no long-lasting effects.
Wendy says
Happy Father’s Day – My Dad has the ability to see things from all angles and give great advice, when asked. :)
Rebecca says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad is a regular MacGyver, and seriously, is anything manlier?
Laura says
Happy Father’s Day! I love how my husband is already planning on making our 3 month old a sports fan. He has even gone so far as to start planning daddy-daughter trips to games.
Katy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
You probably don’t hear this everyday, but the MANLIEST thing about my padre is his inane ability on the phone. I’m not just talking telephone etiquette, either, though he’s got that down. My dad’s one of those people that can call the cable company and get them, magically, to somehow reduce the cost of the monty bill by $15/mo and throw in a couple bonus channels just because. He’s the guy you want to call to complain about the poor service at a restaurant, or about an error on your bank statement, because somehow he always gets it fixed. Usually, it’s not just fixed, but there’s an extra sumthin-sumthin for his trouble. I’m in awe.
Ellen says
Happy fathers day! I love how perfectly willing my hubs is to do household chores.
Ashley says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about about my hubby is the way he is with our kids. He’s such a softie!
Keisha says
Happy Father’s Day!!
What’s manly about my husband?? It’s a toss up between the pee he leaves on the toilet or the leftover face hair in the sink. :)
Lynnette says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband finishes what he starts! And…I went to nursing school last fall and he has definitely picked up the slack! Awesome!
elizabeth bartholomew says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
my husband cleans the bathroom for me. he says he does a better job… fine by me!
Christie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
The manliest thing about my dad is his massive amount of hair: back hair, chest hair, facial hair, even a rat tail!
michelle says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY
this weekend is not only father’s day at our house but the hubs’ birthday as well. i love that he was able to retire and stay home with our kids. they will forever have a special bond with their dad!
Eve says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest quality of my husband is being an awesome dad to our kids (and his ability to build whatever design idea I have in my head is a close second).
Karen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
To my dear husband, who hung our TV over our fireplace last weekend (with a wall bracket made of aluminum that we found at Ikea for $20!!!), and is now in the process of routing the wires through the wall, so that they can be hidden on their way to the components shelf on an opposite wall.
Kind of funny, but I am trying to find a nice bit set with a case for Father’s Day, as his is older and a lot of the bits he has used over and over are becoming stripped. What a great compliment this freebie would be to the gift!
Fingers crossed!
Taylor M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Taylor M says
OOPS forgot to say what I love- I love that my man is about to become a dad for the 1st time… and he’s super excited!
Jenna S. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad can build anything. And if he can’t, you better believe my grandfather can – they’re awesome!
Ellen Low says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. I love that my dad can fix almost anything and I can call him for advice on how to fix things !!
Nathania says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” …my hubbie is a Mr. Fix it, a creepy crawly killer, and does all the icky work I hate to do (like unclogging drains ewwwww!). Love him!!
JILL @ thebluehouse says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
the fact that my husband can be manly enough to allow me to paint our kitchen pink. he rocks.
Lori says
Happy Father’s Day!
Melissa Benjamin says
Happy Fathers Day!!
My Step-dad can fix anything! It’s always comforting knowing that I can learn something new from him, any time I can’t figure it out myself. My children will apprecaite that when they’re older.
New England Girl says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Rachel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad. What a man. Probably the manliest thing about him is that he can’t do his daughter’s hair.
Tyler says
Happy Father’s Day! The “man” I will be spending it with is my 2 1/2 year old son, and the maliest thing he does is love his Daddy!
Mandi says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! My hubs is the manliest guy I know, and a great dad to our dogs! He can fix/do just about anything- including all the chores around the house (i.e. cook, clean, laundry, etc.)!
