***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.

Christine Cade says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My hubby has always been great with kids and is so excited to finally have one of his own!
Michelle says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manilest thing about my husband is he is a wealth of sport knowledge. He not only knows what happens in each and every sport on any given day, he also knows about sport events and players from the past.

Happy Father’s Day! I love that my husband is man enough to play dolls or put on puppet shows for our kids.
jane says

!

Happy Father’s Day!!
We’ll be celebrating with my dad and father-in-law who both recently just got Harley’s after 20+ years of not having one. (They both used to own them when they were young). They’re both on cloud 9 with their new toys. Nothing says manly like a Harley, right?! ;)
Amber says
Happy Father’s Day!
The manliest thing I love that my husband does is take care of me. I am 9 months pregnant with our first child and he does everything possible to make me feel great.
Lauren @ circlegdesigns says

My father-in-law makes a mean loaf of bread :)
Kelli says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My hubby is the best dad to our 15 month old. He’s manliest when he’s in the midst of a good play sesh with him. Love that man.
Christen says
Happy Father’s Day!
It was pretty manly when my husband replaced all 27 of our windows by himself.
Kristi says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest quality of my hubby is his ability to juggle work, college, studying for certs, fixing up the house (which currently involves redoing the kitchen) and still have plenty of time for the kids and me!
Sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is his ability to build stairs, install trim and cook like a boss.
Grace says
Happy Father’s Day!
One of my favorite “manly” qualities about my dad is how he desperately tries to pretend he’s not such a big softie. I love how he clears his throat, kicks the ground, and asks me about my car when he’s sad that I’m leaving to go back to school in an attempt to hide that he’s all misty-eyed.
Gina F says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My hubby can put anything together and fix anything with zip ties. Pretty amazing!
Kristen says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My hubby is very manly in the fact he is a walking sports encyclopedia and my dad is the most ‘outdoors’-man I’ve ever met!!
Kristy says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is a big guy with a deep voice, he really used to scare my boyfriends back in high school. It has been beyond surprising (and wonderful) to see what a giant softie he is for his grandbabies. He is TOTAL MUSH…and he changes diapers.
Sandy Mouras says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad made a 28′ wooden boat. With his own two hands. Whoa.

Lauren says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
My grandpa can fix anything that’s broken!!
Cara W says
Happy Father’s Day! This qualifies as manly in my mind: my father has always been extremely proud of his children and continues to tell us as often as he can how proud he is that he’s been able to help mold us into the adults that we are today. His manliest quality is being my biggest cheerleader.
Courtney says
Happy Father’s Day! I love how my hubby can fix almost anything! I love when he takes a “rust bucket” of a car from the side of the road to a masterpiece! I even love the smell of fiberglass and gasoline as he works to make a hunk of junk run!
Rebecca says
Happy Father’s Day! when my husband is playing with our little girls… there is nothing more manly!
Dakota says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest trait about my husband is how much he loves our children.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! This weekend among other men we’ll be celebrating my 85 year old grandfather, who’s only gift request was to sneak him as much Dr. Pepper as we could without my grandmother finding out :)
Chad says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is that, even though he isn’t the most handy of people, he never gives up, and he always dives straight in to any project or trouble he finds. Very inspiring.
Kate says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! Not quite sure what his manliest quality is, but I’d like to thank my dad for teaching me how to play the steering wheel drum while simultaneously driving with my knees. Thanks, Dad!! :]
Going back, I’d say his manliest quality is definitely safety. Definitely!

The manliest thing about my Dad is how he loves to roughhouse (gently) with all six of his grandchildren.

Happy Father’s Day! I’ll be spending the day with my dad and he is absolutely the best man that I know. My dad knows everything…how to navigate the most obscure parts of the city, how to fix everything and always knows what to do. That’s manly!

Amber says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I don’t know if it’s quite “manly” but my dad has the ability to remember everything from the 3 newspapers he reads each and every single day. Months, even years later. Great memory people! If that’s not very manly…my dad is great at figuring out every DIY task at hand. Plumbing? Check. Remodeling? Check. Electrical? Check. Gee, gotta love our fathers out there!
Kim says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is his love of UFC. Thank goodness he has a soft side too!
