***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.

lisa says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad could build anything, he taught me to tackle and love DIY projects (and to hate heating our northern New England house with wood).
My husband is beautiful and gifted in DIY projects. We’re partners in crime, he looks at the incremental steps and I see the big picture.
John, enjoy your day! Love following YHL.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest quality of my grandfather is that he is 92 year old and still kicking! He’s a WWII vet that fought on Normandy beach and is still married to my grandmother after 65+ years. Does it get manlier than that?
Tammy says
Happy Father’s Day!!
My hubby man is amazing… but the day(s) I saw him at his manliest, was at the birth of his three daughters. That amazing look of pride and love in his eyes… I will never forget. :)
Kristina says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
The manliest thing about my Dad is that he is the protector of our family. Whether it’s physically, financially, mentally…my dad likes to ensure that his family is safe and secure and he has absolutely no idea how much I appreciate and admire him for that (words can’t express!). Even now that I am 24 and live on my own, he still checks up on me constantly. My dad even insisted on paying for my alarm system to ensure that I am as safe as possible when he cannot be there. It makes me so proud to call him my dad.
You guys are awesome!
Allison Irons says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I love that after 5 years of infertility, my husband gave us a son and is celebrating his first father’s day this year. Nothin’ more manly than fertile swimmers ;)
