***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 husband isn’t a dad yet but I know he’ll be awesome at it from the way he plays with other people’s kids! My actual dad’s manliest quality is the way he takes care of his family so patiently.
Jeremy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad may not be the best with a hammer, but he’s an amazing doctor who has helped the lives of thousands of patients over the years.
Katie Adams says
Happy Father’s Day!
This would go to my husband, Nick, who is incredibly handy. He just made our son a water/sand table for his 2nd birthday. He would use this gift to help purchase a circular saw. We’ve gone too long without one!
Diana says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY- To my Dad who was man enough to know when he could fix something and when he needed to call for help.
Sara H. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is that he seems to be able to build anything!!
elz says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY: my husband’s manliest quality is how he teaches our daughters to love the outdoors and teaches them to fish, how to identify animal tracks, etc. My dad’s manliest quality is how tender he is with my daughters, his granddaughters.
Holley says
Happy Father’s Day! My stepfather is a music guru, and he also loves the great outdoors. To enhance his relaxation techniques, he wired some speakers to the backyard and created an awesome outdoor living space. If he’s not inside, that’s where we’ll find him!
Dana says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest quality about my dad is the way he takes care of our entire family.
Sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I’d say the manliest thing is my dad’s ability to hang pictures without making a million holes in the wall like I do!
Courtney Dozier says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Looking forward to celebrating with my dad- who can fix anything…or fakes it till he figures it out. Bonus points for always picking up the phone when I was hundreds of miles away and my car broke down :).
Alexis says
Happy Father’s Day!
My hubby is great at DIY-ing everything. He loves to be self sufficient/reliant which is very manly to me! Also, this will be his first Father’s day with our 3 week old son!

Nadia says
Happy daddy day! By far the manliest thing my hubby does is get up at 3 in the morning to put our one -month old back to sleep! Love that guy!
Rosanne says
Happy Father’s Day.
I love that my man will do and can do anything around the house. Once I asked him to build me a mantle, in the middle of that project….I said “honey, I could really use another shelf in the pantry”…without skipping a beat he put in a new shelf in about 10 mins. and continued on with the mantle….What a guy!! (both look awesome)

Happy Father’s Day!
Megan says
Happy Father’s Day! When my hubs decides to take something on, he does it with detail.
Kelly Anne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
My husband has given me a definition of “manly”. He is kind, compassionate, and works his tail feathers off for his family! Family time in the evening is his priority, and he waits until the kids and I head off to bed before he starts his “homework” as a high school teacher. After 25 years of marriage, I still love him more each day!!!
Karine says
Happy Fathers Day! I love that my manly husband loves to make music with our 3 kids. He’s got a wonderful gift and I love seeing my kiddos enjoy music with him.

Samantha says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Laura says
Happy Father’s Day! The manliest thing about my dad is the fact that he built the house I grew up in.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love that my Dad invented our family group hug, and that he always is sure to squeeze me the hardest.
Claire B. says
Happy Fathers Day!!!
My husband is always so wonderful with our fur babies. They both just adore him and love when I tell them, “daddy’s home!” and my husband is down on the floor with them :)
Amy P says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband is in the process of building an amazing fort for our 4 boys. I love that he isn’t afraid to tackle any DIY project. I do think that the fort is maybe getting bigger/better than we originally planned. Hmmm, who is this fort for???
Whitney says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
The manliest thing about my husband is how dedicated he is to each task he takes on. And how he kills all the spiders in our house!
Kate says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love the way both my father and husband turn into a huge pile of mush when they look at and interact with my baby. It’s the cutest!
Stephanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Penni McNamara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. Manliest thing about my man???? His fondness of HGTV. hahahaha!!
Kimberly says
Happy Father’s Day! My hubby’s manliest quality might be his ability (and excitement) to figure out any project, be it house, car, yard, or sport.
Merilee says
I love when my husband spouts out random sports stats to proclaimed experts. The look on their face makes me smile inside!
Cher says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My father’s greatest quality was how he never, ever gave up, even while he was dying from a really aggressive form of cancer. He was living by his own rules until the second he passed on.
In his absence, my older brother has stepped up into the “man” of the family and how could he not, with such a great role model like my dad?
Brian says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad is always ready to help with the grandchildren.
Jessica Shivers says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My grandpa can fix anything, and is able to create anything that I may need for my own home. Anything from a sofa table to stairs for my dog! Poor little thing can’t get up to bed without them!
M.A. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love the way my husband looks at our son when he thinks no one is watching. It’s pride, love, and awe mixed together and it makes me weak in the knees, honestly.
Emily P says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad will always be my hero for killing cockroaches when spotted by my mom or I. We would always just yell for our bug hunter and point at / watch the cockroach until he showed up with a shoe and a paper towel. And my hubby is quickly learning how to do the same :-)
Alyssa says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY:
The manliest thing about my dad is that he isn’t afraid to admit when he is wrong and ask for forgiveness when needed. This is one of the biggest lessons that he taught me!
Alexandra says
Happy Father’s day!!
Lisa says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad goes on an annual fishing trip with me. It’s great to see him doing something he loves.
Monica W says
Happy Father’s Day!
I’m happy to say that my husband will try to fix things before spending the money on a pro.
Stephanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I love that my dad is always willing to help me with my little projects!
ames says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad can find his way in any city we have ever been in. Actually, anywhere we have ever been, ever. My siblings and i are all grown, but we still call him when we are lost. He’s better than a garmin!! :)
Lisa says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. I love that my hubby can build anything and he doesn’t seem to mind when I constantly add things to the to-do list.
