***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 quality about my husband is he can fix anything. Cars, house inside and out, etc. he is super handy.
Plus he is a great dad :)
Keely says
Happy Father’s Day!
The ‘manliest’ thing I’m celebrating about my hubby, is his ability to play swords and wrestling with my son one minute, and then turn around and rock my little girl to sleep <3

Sabrina says
Happy fathers day! The manliest thing about my dad is he is almost 70 but he is still one of the strongest men I know. he is all muscle and never works out. He just lifts a lot for his job as a Budweiser truck driver
Krista says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My dad is such an awesome man inside and out but I think his best qualities are his ability to fix ANYTHING (which comes in handy for me!), his amazing sense of humor, and thoughfulness.

Emily M. says
Happy Fathers Day. My husband can fix most anything and loves showing our boys how to fix stuff too….so sweet.
Melanie says
My favorite manly quality of my hubs is how hard he works for our family! Then comes home and can trade in his man pants for his daddy pants and play with our kiddos for hours!
Lauren says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My Dad’s manliest trait is defined by his ability to literally fix anything. Duct tape anyone? But seriously my mom and I will stand there looking at a stopped up drain doing everything in our power to fix it. Dad comes in after a few seconds said drain is unclogged. How does he do it? I have no clue!
Kate says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!
I love that my husband is both tough guy and soft guy depending on the situation.
Ann says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband is his impression that his lucky hat/shirt/boxers will actually impact the outcome of the game he’s watching (baseball, football, whatever).
Kellie R. says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is pretty manly…I can’t even remember the last time I filled my car with gas because he always beats me to it so that I don’t have to.
Stevie says
Happy Fathers Day!
I love that I haven’t had to buy furniture because my dad built all mine :)

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Happy Fathers Day! The manliest thing about my man is his ability to take all gifts in stride… Like the dad bashing baby onesie his mom bought him for his first fathers day!
Tom says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Rachael says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest quality about my father is his inherent ability to make me feel safe and secure regardless of how far apart we are. Simply hearing his voice, makes me feel protected. That, and of course his ability to build anything out of wood and screws – we’re talking treehouses, furniture, you name it. Which is especially handy when combined with his oddly feminine abilities to sew anything and cook a mean dinner…
Sarah M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my husband can eat. Nothing turns me off more then a guy who orders a burger – hold the bun. The manliest thing is having an appetite!
Katherine Bryden says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband is a father-to-be (due in October) and he is capable of fixing anything.
Kimberly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad passed away and my husband and I don’t have any kids so there’s not any celebrating to be done per se, but my husband is wonderful around the house, father or not.
amorette says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
mine is the way he is old-fashioned about wanting to take care of us first and foremost- working so i can stay home with my son. i like that he is new-school in most other ways, but it is a lovely luxury to be taken care of!
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is incredibly manly b/c he isn’t afraid to do the right thing.
Heather Schmid says
Happy Father’s Day!

Elizabeth says
Happy Father’s Day! I love that my dad knows how to solve any problem, and he is available to help any time.
kara @ launching our life together says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Sounds kinda corny, but I gott love my man’s muscles. And height. And ability to change really high lightbulbs since I require standing on chairs.
Eva Tweed says
Happy Fathers Day! My Dad was a genius. He could help with my chemistry homework, fix the car and bake bread all at the same time! Miss him!
Malissa says
HAPPY FATHER’s DAY!
My dad is literally the manliest man I know.. he cant fix ANYTHING!
Valerie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My husband can hunt and kill any pest that thought it was a good idea to come through the patio door while he was grilling. :) Serious fly-swatting skillz.

Beth says
Happy Fathers Day!

DebbieK says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
I love that my husband and our daughter share that special bond. She has always been a daddy’s girl and he worships the ground she walks on. It brings a huge smile to my face :)
Sunne says
Happy Father’s Day – being a great dad is pretty manly!
Shelly says
happy fathers day!!! =D
The manliest thing about my dad is that he can pretty much fix anything, or at least he tries. What I think is pretty awesome about him trying to fix stuff is that even if he can’t fix it right away he’ll find a way to fix it, and thats pretty manly if you ask me =)
