A Home Depot Father’s Day #Giveaway

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

In my post “Oh Brother. How Do You Choose?” I asked y’all if you prefer a man who frequents the Home Depot… or Holt Renfrew. Turns out, many of my fabulous readers love a handyman; the Jonathan Scott-types were preferred almost 2:1 over the smooth-talking “Drew Scott”s of the world.

Thing is, I happen to be married to a “Drew” who thinks he’s a “Jonathan” – and nothing has furthered this delusion of grandeur more than our #ProjectPatio. My husband has been living at the Home Depot Canada ever since we joined forces with them to make over our backyard. Alas, he is convinced that he needs wood stain (for the fence that is suddenly subpar in his eyes), planters (for plants I will likely kill), and a solar lamp post (which sounds like an oxymoron to me). And while the construction of the patio has been *slightly* delayed due to the unpredictable, unseasonably cool weather (shakes fist at Mother Nature), we are nevertheless well on our way to achieving a backyard oasis.

(Have you seen the gorgeous pieces that the Home Depot Canada generously supplied? Read about them here!)

Hence, since it’s apparent that my husband will absolutely have the BEST Father’s Day EVER, I thought it was only appropriate that I share with you my Top 5 Picks for Father’s Day Gifts – all available at The Home Depot Canada – and an awesome giveaway to boot!

1. Coca-Cola Cube Fridge

I adore this iconic red Coca-Cola fridge, especially for the basement, SUV or office! The Coca-Cola Personal Cube Fridge is a great gift for the Coca-Cola lover, and the perfect, affordable gift for Father’s Day. The cube fridge has a 7 liter capacity and can hold up to nine (9) 12 oz. cans and cools up to 35 degrees below ambient temperature. Features solid state thermoelectric cooling; for use at home or in the car.

My husband would totally be loving this fridge for long car rides – it eliminates the mess of melting ice, and is lightweight, compact and portable too! Price: $89.95

2. Art Innovations Tee Off I and II

If dad can’t be at the golf range, at least he can bask in the glory of the sport with this artwork by Art Innovations. Golf lovers – swing like never before! Feel like you’re “right there” every day. Decorate instantly with strong visual impact of your passion.

Each picture is modestly priced at $140.00, and I must admit I’d just have to grab the set. (Don’t they look so inviting side by side? And I don’t even like golf.) My husband is a big fan of showcasing his hobbies and likes – a Scarface movie poster here, a shotglass from Puerto Vallarta there. Therefore, I have a hunch he’d adore this lightweight, easy to hang artwork. A bonus; there’s no glass for curious little toddlers.

An online only purchase; when I first started this blog post, there were 10 left in inventory. And now, there’s 9. Hurry! Price: $140.00 each

3. Weber Genesis S-330 Natural Gas Grill

As part of #ProjectPatio, this happens to be the very same model that my husband received as an early Father’s Day gift – and I just had to include it in my Top 5 Pics. Why? Well, if you could only see the way his face lights up when he first lifts the lid. Igniting the BBQ is almost reminiscent of a religious ceremony; he demands silence as the gas light flickers and flames. His new Weber Grill has brought him so much joy, he ranks its presence below the birth of our sons… but slightly higher than our own wedding. OMG.

The stainless steel, top-of-the-line Genesis natural gas grill creates an atmosphere of pure grilling excellence. It’s high-heat Sear Station burner, three standard stainless steel burners, and electronic ignition system are just a few of the noteworthy features you won’t be able to resist. Price: $1249.00

4. Black Adult Video Rocker with Black Mesh Racing Stripe

Although I really think Home Depot Canada should reconsider calling this product a “Black Adult Video Rocker” – I do love the concept, and the price! Under $40 peeps!

The Adult Video Rocker Chair by Ace Bayou is the next generation of comfortable rocking chairs for in-home recreational activities. They are great to have for playing video games, watching TV, reading a book, and more! The Sturdy cushioned seat comfortably cradles your body and easily rocks back and forth. An ergonomic design enhances back support and better posture for hours of full relaxation and enjoyment. The mesh racing stripe adds an extra dash of sporty style to your decor.

Love that it’s low to the ground and wipes clean with a damp cloth. It’s a seat for my husband’s man cave! Price: $39.00

5. Ryobi 18V Lithium+ Compact Drill

Boys and their power toys. I’ve never quite understood the fascination, but then, I’ve never installed drywall either.

The drill is compact and powerful enough to handle any job on your project. The IntelliPort Technology protects battery cells, maximizes battery life and conserves energy so well it earned an Energy Star logo. The new and improved Lithium plus batteries improve performance of these and all Ryobi 18-Volt One plus tools. Compared to the 18-Volt One plus Ni-Cd battery, there are 4X more recharges, hold a charge 4X longer, have 35 percent more runtime and are 45 percent lighter. Add to that extreme weather performance and an on-board fuel gauge. << I just copied and pasted that. I have no idea what it means. However, you can…

WIN IT!!

One lucky Listen to Lena reader will win a Ryobi 18V Lithium+ Compact Drill plus a $25 Home Depot Man Card (total value $175.00). Isn’t it a hoot when the man uses the gift card? He has to trade in his “Man Card”!

To enter, fill the form below with your qualifying entries. I’ll draw for a winner just before Father’s Day. Good luck!

  7. I have not purchased a Father’s Day gift from The Home Depot – although my father would love it! He is a hard man to shop for, so I typically end up getting him gift cards so he can pick out what he likes. Perhaps a Home Depot gift card this year? (If I don’t win the giveaway, that is! =P) Thanks for the chance to win!

  12. My hubby has casually pointed out an item or two off of his wishlist in the past. After a couple of years of lugging tools to my car, I now go the gift card route so this would be a perfect giveaway to win :)!

  120. Yup — we usually get something from Home Depot. Last year, it was an aluminum combo ladder — I learned long ago that for many men in my life, gifts from stores like Home Depot are the only ones I can trust not to see still in their original boxes one year later… (not bitter at all haha).

  121. I did purchase my husband a cordless drill from Home Depot a few years ago for Christmas, but I have not gotten him anything for Father’s Day from there yet, great idea though!

  126. We don’t usually get or exchange real “presents” on Mom or Pops day ☺ We just do simple treats or flowers or family outings or special meal. This Home Depot stuff would be a real fantastic surprise!

  175. I’m a terrible gift picker! For years my poor dad got ties every father’s day. When he switched jobs and didn’t need them anymore my go-to gift was cologne. The same kind every year. And sometimes for Christmas too. I definitely should have gone to home depot instead!

  185. I’ve purchased gift cards for home depot so my Dad could buy whatever “toy” he had his eye on. He would move into Home Depot if they’d allow it.

  192. I bought my dad a lawn mower – I think he appreciated the thought, but the bigger win was when he turned to my mother and said “so I guess this is how you felt when I bought you the vacuum for our anniversary?” ZING!
