***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 hubs loves to fix stuff, the problem is just finding the time to do it!
wifemomrn says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband’s best quality is that he can fix and build just about anything. No matter how difficult of a project I beg him to take on, he will find a way to make it a reality. He is A-mazing :)
Kate in the Shade says
Happy Father’s Day!
Nicole @ Post Grad says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My Daddy wanted girls and got 3. A true man isn’t afraid of a challenge and boy were we a handful! :)
Krystle @ Color Transformed Family says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my husband is his desire to be a spiritual leader in our home.
kaia says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
The manliest thing about my hubby is being able to fix things on our cars when needed and then uses his skills when he gets cars ready for demolition derbies.
Andrea Dewicki says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
My husband is a chef so he knows his way around the kitchen very well… but he seems to know how to fix/build/do EVERYTHING! We are working on a huge DIY landscaping project right now, and he built a retaining wall like it was nbd. He built a platform bed frame with storage underneath to meet my specs since I couldn’t find one I liked. Most of all, he is an amazing father to our 2 children. They adore him (especially his kite-flying abilities!). He’s pretty much amazing:)
Kayla says
Happy Father’s Day!
We’ll be celebrating in the great outdoors camping with my dad and FIL.
krista farrell says
happy fathers day
the manliest thing about my dad and my husband is their tenderness.
Devon @ Green House, Good Life says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I think my father’s manliest trait is how he gets really intent when he’s working on a project. You know he’s hard at work when his breathing gets slow and serious.
April says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! What makes my husband manly is that he doesn’t think twice about having to get dirty to get a job done around the house. Whether it’s chaning all of our own oil or cleaning out a mukky swimming pool.
wendy Chatterton says
Happy Father’s Day!! My manly husband is known for not being able to say no to anyone that asks for help with a project. “Have you got a minute” is a phrase he hears all the time!
Meghan@RatnamResidence says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest quality of my father is that he always smells like sawdust and wood. He’s a carpenter by trade and is constantly working on a project for someone – like building a picnic table for our anniversary gift, helping us build a deck, or making candy dispensers for Christmas presents. So whenever I see him, he smells like sawdust and wood, which reminds me of all the thoughtful gifts he’s made for people over the years…
Liz says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is always willing to crawl into crazy dark scary spaces, like the attic, and under the house, no matter how silly the reason (like my brother throwing a ball under there) or how creepy the space!
nancyo says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I’m celebrating by building my dad something with scrap wood, probably a picture frame or if I am really ambitious this week.. one of those outdoor storage containers or planter beds. I admire my dad’s ability to work hard and long hours to pay the bills & provide for our family .. even if that means his passions of gardening and baseball games are put aside.
Amy Dixon says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JOHN!
I am lucky to have a dad that can literally fix it all and has taught me how to install tile, hardwood floors, ceiling fans, etc. I am sure Clara will be able to say the same when she gets older too. :)
Tiffany J says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is my plumber, landscaper, and chicken wing griller!
Stephanie L says
Happy Father’s Day! My niece’s dad is filling a double role as Mom & Dad. He plans birthday parties, he gets her to Girl Scouts and swim practice, and he still finds time to run and ride his bike.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love the simple things with my dad like playing catch in the backyard. Darn it you’re just never too old for that!
leslie says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband can play dollhouse with our daughter for as long as she wants.
amanda says
happy father’s day! my husb does all the manly house stuff like landscaping!
Kate C. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest quality about my husband is that he is always willing to DIY (or at least try)!
Tara says
Happy Father’s Day! Wow great giveaway!
My dad is the best carpenter around! He’s in his 70s and he’s out in the yard every day working on a project to keep him busy.
Steph says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I have to say for my dad, it has to be how he has always been able to translate a bunch of shrieks into coming and getting a bug out of my room/bathroom/wherever it was, and taking it outside since I always felt bad killing them :)
Ashley says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The ability to fix anything!
Amanda says
Happy Father’s Day! My dad’s manliest quality is that he served in the military for 30+ years and has worked for the government another 20+ years since his military “retirement”. I couldn’t be more proud to be his daughter!
Riva says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
The manliest thing about the father of my furbabies is that he can fix anything. No matter what breaks (refrigerator, car, etc) he can Google the problem and fix it all by himself with inexpensive parts.
Hillary says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad knows how to fix everything household and car related.
Sasha says
Happy father’s Day! My dad is spectacular with the BBQ.
Dinka says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The “manliest” quality of my dad is his ability to build walls. …that sounds so weird, but he taught himself how to build the most amazing stone and brick walls, which now wind all over my parents’ hillside property. And his were the only walls in the neighborhood that did not fall down during the 1994 Northridge earthquake! How manly is that??
And the “manliest” quality of my father-in-law-to-be is his amazing talent when it comes to cooking! That guy can roast, bake, fry, grill, etc. ANYTHING and you start drooling the second you enter his kitchen.
Here’s to my two favorite dads!!! <3
Leah says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Jerrika Jerome says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love the way my dad gets excited when I call him just to talk.
Jessaca says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband and that I love him the world over for: He does the laundry! A girl couldn’t ask for more. As for my Dad, well, he can do just about anything. :)
Brenna says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My dad taught me that most improvements around the house can be done yourself and that you’re never really done improving your house!
Beth says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad’s favorite hobby is chopping wood, seems manly to me

my dad’s manliest quality is his refusal to read instructions first or ask for directions ;)
paintergal says
Happy Father’s Day!
The thing that comes to mind is today my husband was at the dentist for a tooth extraction. The dentist couldn’t do it however because even after four shots of Novacaine, the area still wasn’t numb. That’s manly!
Emily says
Happy Father’s Day! My hubs is super manly while proudly toting my patterned pool bag!
Julie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I admire his ability to fix anything! And if he doesn’t know how to fix it, he will figure out the right way to do it and teach others along the way :)
Meagan B. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My husband is the most amazing father to our two little boys,and to me, nothing could be manlier :)
