***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 brother is the best dad around. The man is a teacher by day and student by night, but always manages to make time to hang out with his kids. What an amazing man!
Michele Wesdock says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that I always feel like our little family is always safe with when we’re with my husband. I tease him for being a “nerdy rule follower” but it makes me feel awfully safe when he follows the important ones involving driving and power tools!
Natasha says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” My dad is super handy, rides a motorcycle, loves the outdoors, and was incredibly patient (something I did not inherit) with the bilingual special needs students he taught in an inner city for 30 year. All admirable qualities.

My father knows everything about everything (if he doesn’t, he makes something up) :)
Julie N. says
I think being a great father is what makes a man “manly”. And my husband is the manliest. :)
Leyna says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is that you can catch him doing all the “manly” stuff any time of day–yardwork, taking out the trash, watching sports, burping–and in between all of those moments he still takes time to play with our kiddos, kiss boo-boos, and sing goodnight songs.
Cathy says

Happy Father’s Day! The way our kids get so excited to see him at the end of the day speaks to how great a dad he is. He’s always playing hide-and-seek, wrestling, and “going on adventures.”
Morgan says
Happy Father’s Day!
I have a step dad and a dad that I grew up with – double the support and double the love! One’s a fix-it know-it-all and the other is more of the mushy type. Love them both for their ‘manly’ attributes!

Katie Honkanen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! it is definitely my dad’s Moustache

Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my hubs is the stuble on his chin and his wrestle mania arms!!!
Kris says
Happy Father’s Day!!!
My dad is a very handy guy but is not always the most prepared. He describes a project based on the number of times he thinks he’ll need to go to the hardware store for supplies. As in “I thought it was a one trip project, but I ran into a problem and it turned out to be a three trip project”. Maybe not very manly, but he always makes us laugh!
Meagan says
Happy Fathers Day! I love that my daddy always puts his family first in every situation.

The “manliest” thing about my man is how he used his wicked chainsaw skillz today to rid our back yard of 100 HIDEOUS, scraggly arborvitae. Let there be light (in our back yard)!!! It’s amazing how much brighter our house feels already! He would LOVE a good HD trip to stock up for his next project (re-roofing our addition)
Janice says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing about my hubby is his knowledge of sports!
vika says

Janelle G says
Happy Father’s Day!
My Dad’s manliest quality is his wisdom and foresight.
My husband’s (my son’s father lol) manliest quality is his ability to fix/build anything whether it is on a house or on a car or even creating a sparking chalkboard (he is a chemist).
Tammy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! I love that my big, strong, muscular husband turns into a baby-talking softie who sings love songs to our three dogs. Absolutely love that about him!
