***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 of the man I’m celebrating w/this Father’s Day is his honest desire to be the best caretaker he can be for our family. And don’t worry, I’m a pretty good caretaker too . . . so we’re well taken care of in our household! ;)

Tracy W. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! Love that my husband is the rock we can all lean on!
cc says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is an all right sort of guy, but I wouldn’t say one thing I love about him is the way he takes care of his tools. That is to say, he either can’t find them, or they are all jumbled together in a box somewhere. This means the ones he CAN find are not always offered for sharing. So if I win this card, I’m keeping it for me so we don’t have to go around and around the next time I need to borrow a power tool. Sorry, Dad. ;)
Kayleigh says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband can fix anything… and rocks a pretty sweet beard.

Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my dad is his ability to overcome any situation without sweating it. I have seen him under lots of stress without breaking a sweat. He’s a good ole dad and I love him lots!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is how he always knows the right advice to give and the right time to give it!
Marisa says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s manliest quality is his confidence. Even if he doesn’t really know exactly how to complete a project (or get somewhere) he never fails to let fear bring his spirit down on getting a job done! :)

Happy Father’s Day!
My husband is a manly firefighter.

Libby says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The manliest thing about about my husband is his selfless service to this country while serving in Iraq. Although the wounds of war followed him home, he continues to make our home beautiful and strives to make myself and his daughter happy every day!
Morgan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
And my dad was totally the “scary dad” when I was a teenager. God forbid any guy picking me up for a date not leaved scared to touch his daughter!
Zahra says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad can fix anything, physical, computer-y, intellectual questions….whether it fails to work correctly afterward is irrelevant. Yays for dads!!!
Jen says

Christina says
Happy Fathers Day, I don’t think I’ve ever asked my Dad a questions he didn’t have an answer for. He must of made a few up along the way!
Andrea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my dad is how sensitive he is to the women in his life. It takes a ‘real man’ to be a great husband and father.
Sarah Susil says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is the Master handyman. In all my years of growing up there is not one crazy idea or project that he couldn’t tackle. He and my mom have lived in the same house for 40 years, the very first one he every bought. He added a second story, a deck, two staircases, a ton more square footage, a patio and countless other things all my himself! Needless to say, they’ll keep adding on and updating before ever moving out!
Becky says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I’ll be celebrating my amazing step-dad, Mike, an intrepid DIYer who has installed a free-standing waterslide in his backyard (made of plastic barrells), makes a mean bacon-wrapped meatloaf, and has gender-specific outhouses in his backyard, replete with REAL PLUMBING (the male side has a urinal!) He is such an inspiration to me, and has stepped in where my Dad left off! :)
ElleX says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” My father is very resourceful…he is MacGyverish (is that word? noun? verb?..LOL)

Darlene says
Happy Father’s Day! Humility is so manly!
Carole White says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing I love about my husband is that he’s a man’s man and can put outlets anywhere but he’s also an amazing father to our dog, Moses, and to our baby donkey, Lily.
Ashley says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad can fix anything, so much so that when we got the inspection report back from our new house we thought “Dad can help with that, and that, and that, and probably that…” etc. Thank God!
Katie says
Happy Father’s Day!! The manliest thing about my dad is how he loves to be the provider. I am getting married next month and the wedding is going to be a bit over the budget my parents set. My fiance and I are paying for anything we go over, but my dad keeps telling me to give him all my receipts and how he wants to pay for everything. I think they’re spending enough and I want to help, but I think it’s sweet.
Robin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad can fix anything, but it takes him forever because he wants it to look professional. And he always takes at least 5 trips to Home Depot for any project.
Gina says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s manliest quality is his love of being a daddy. He truly enjoys being a father and a family man and that makes him super manly in my eyes :)
Matt K says

My husband is perfect…..fixes cars, builds anything I can imagine, takes care of his family.
Leslie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
My husband isn’t a fan of hardware stores, but my father is. My father loves to buy my husband and son tools to help with fixing up our house. We could definitely use this giveaway. Thanks, YHL and Happy Father’s Day to John.
