***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 dad has an awesome tool chest from the 70s full of just about every hand tool known to, well, man.
Michelle says
Happy Father’s Day!! My dad is the best because he really does seem to have tips, ideas and suggestions for anything house or finance related… he’s like a walking book of knowledge!
Kristin says
Happy Father’s Day!
What makes my husband so manly? What doesn’t make him manly? He works hard, is such an awesome dad, does dishes, hunts, fishes, likes sports, draws houses, etc. I could go on and on and on!
Karen says
Happy Father’s Day!
1. My dad really DOES know how to fix everything.
2. My husband has served in both Iraq AND Afghanistan. I assure you that in my mind, there is nothing more manly than serving our country! :)
Erin M. says
Happy Father’s Day!!
My husband is sooo good with our 3 boys. I hope they grow up to be just like him.
Michelle M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Every single thing about my husband is the manliest. From his love of hunting and camping to his way with our children. He even has a pink shirt he likes and isn’t afraid to admit he likes chick flicks almost as much as I do.
Meredith says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
Angela Emory says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The love to watch my hubby play with our kids and also try to fix whatever may be broken!

Lou says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My boyfriend’s manliest quality is his positive outlook.
Sarah R. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad is a home builder, and can fix just about anything. And I know he has LOVED me buying my first home, because he has a chance to come help his little girl with home stuff. To me, that’s very manly and sweet!
Renee says
Happy fathers day! My husband is super handy and I love that about him!

Beth says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” I love that my son thinks enough about his neighbors to become a volunteer fire fighter!
Gretchen says
Happy Father’s Day! My husband’s manliest quality is his (sometimes mistaken) belief that he can fix and/or install anything. Bless his little heart. If only he would finish putting in my laminate flooring!
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
I admit, I’m a sucker for stubble. Love me some whisker pie!
Michelle Kovash says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
I’d have to say I admire my dads ability to deal with anything that is thrown at him and still stay strong and so positive! He is on his second run in with cancer and still reminds us to be positive and help him kick cancer in the booty! :)
I also admire my husband and all the amazing moments he shares with my beautiful baby girl. She is so in love with him! Daddy’s little girl!
Stefanie says
Happy Father’s Day!
My husband’s got some mad dad-skills. For realsies, I can’t think of anyone who’s a better dad than him. Watching him with our son and daughter is the best part of my life. I am so lucky to have him as my love, my partner, and my best friend.
(Coincidently, Saturday is our wedding anniversary so I’m in a SUPER lovey-dovey mood!)
Meagan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest thing about my husband is that he is an amazing father to our four month old son!
Caitie says
Happy Father’s Day!
Growing up, there were eight kids in our family, my dad worked constantly and took overtime nonstop so that my mom could stay home and take care of all the kids. He sacrificed so much for us and I am so thankful for a wonderful father!
Jax says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad taught me to look through TRASH! We would always stop to look through the things other people were throwing away. It always suprised me how many great things you could find. I think we furnished my whole first apartment with curbside pick ups. I love my father for teaching me how to search for treasure and I still do it today with my craft projects and home.
Liz says
HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY!
My dad has always been an excellent and involved parent who clearly made his kids a priority, while also modeling balancing work,self care (exercise, reading, healthy eating), house maintenance, and parenting. He’s pretty much amazing.
Tara M. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My husband’s manliest quality is his willingness and/or ability to take care of the bugs and spiders we find at home, while I stand on a chair and shriek :)
Sondra says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The manliest quality of my dad is double ended. He can truly fix just about anything, and he does so for a living. He is also very kind and loving to his family, which I think is very manly.
Courtney says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! The hubs always looks like a lumberjack. And that is pretty manly.
Stacy T says
Happy Father’s Day! My hubby can (and has!) build/fix/diy anything I throw at him.
Stephanie says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My favorite “manly” thing about my dad is how fearless he is when it comes to projects. Even if he doesn’t know how to do it, he’ll give it a try anyway! I know I inherited my DIY spirit from him :)
Toni says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad still cries when watching Old Yellar.
Rachel says
Happy Father’s Day!
Maya says
Happy Father’s Day! The fact that my husband knows so much about tackling projects around the house.
Kate Koller says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY
My husbands ability to cook the most amazing meals while also being one of the best handymen I know.
Marilyn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! I love my Dad’s ability to do what ever it takes to support his family. While I was growing up he usually had two or three jobs, so my mom didn’t have to work, and we had whatever it was we needed. He had a full-time factory job on 2nd shift and was a painter from 9am – 2pm, came home, ate, and went to his factory job. On weekend he freelanced as a wedding photographer,and plowed know for businesses during the winter. He did so many different odd jobs, its hard to remember them all. He’s always been a DIY Dad, and this gift would really make his Father’s Day.
Marilyn says
I guess he plowed snow – not know :)
Amy says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
The manliest quality of my grandfather is that he isn’t afraid to give someone second chances. He is always looking for someone to stand by their word and to help them through hard times.
Cathryn says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! The manliest thing about my man is his “I can fix it” attitude (uh, even if that sometimes means calling a professional) :)
Leah G says
Happy Fathers Day! My dad built our entire house and barn…definitely a skill to be envied!
Robyn G says
Happy Father’s Day!
Sarah Jane says

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Hanna says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
We’ve been house hunting lately and I have been enjoying the man sounds my husband makes while poking at electrical boxes and furnaces. :)
Mollie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! It is definitely manly when my husband does pushups and pullups :)
Jessica J says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!! I love that my husband can fix electrical/carpentry things when they break/ need repair!
Ken Myers says
Happy Fathers Day
My dad’s ability to build anything, and literally I mean anything.
Meg says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My hubby can fix anything :)
Carina says
Happy Father´s Day!
My dad is a technical and mechanical genius – Mr. Fix-It through and through. And when he is looking for some kind of gadget and can´t find it in the stores, he makes it himself.
Jessica Horton says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My dad’s manliest quality is that my dad’s a farmer! Nothing’s more manly than a guy on a tractor, right?!
Dawn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! My hubby can fix most anything thanks to HIS dad who can REALLY fix anything. Between the two of them, they have built two decks, replaced windows (big windows), remodeled our bathroom and built a fence. And that’s just at our current house! My father-in-law installed an elevator and raised his own house by a couple of feet. DIY to the max!
L says
Happy Father’s Day!
Colleen McWatters says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! My Dad is Mr fix-it, he always seems to know what to do and always has the right tools for the job. Now that my parents house is all fixed up, he is starting odd jobs around my house. Aren’t dad’s the best?
Heidi A. Seely says
Happy Father’s Day!
I love that my dad, who had never built more than a bird house, built his beautiful house with no electricity and no running wather. Now that is MANLY
Angela says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
My dad tells the corniest, most awful jokes. They’re jokes only a daughter could love.
