Having now been a father for one whole month (Happy 1- month birthday, Clara!) I’m totally psyched for this Sunday: my first Father’s Day. Another reason I’m psyched? Because our friends at Lowe’s have offered to help us celebrate Daddy Day with a handy gift guide mood board along with a totally testosterone-ready prize. So if you’re still scratching you head about what to get ol’ pops, here are a few ideas to get you started. And if you’re our lucky winner, you might just be covered entirely (for the next few years even):
- What’s Father’s Day without tools? Kobalt 22 Piece Set ($50) is a great starter set if your guy happens to be tool-less. It covers all the basics, plus dad gets a tool bag to keep it all organized.
- If dad’s covered in the tool department, help him step it up a notch with a Kobalt 60 Piece Driver Set ($54) that has a bit for just about any job you can think of and then some.
- Now if you really want to splurge on pop this year, upgrade his workshop with a Kobalt 53” Tool Chest ($1798). It’s not your everyday tool storage space – it’s got a radio and mini fridge built in! Like woah.
- If tools aren’t his thing, help him tend to the yard with the Fiskars Momentum Reel Mower ($199) that we’re enjoying. It’s an eco-friendly way to mow, plus he’ll get a little extra workout in.
- Or hook him up with a Troy-Bilt String Trimmer ($100) to keep those edges in check. Bonus: he might just stop mowing over the flower beds.
- You can also send him on a power trip with the Porter Cable 4 Piece Combo Kit ($129) that’s got a cordless reciprocating saw, circular saw, drill and flashlight all powered by the same battery.
- But enough about gifts that put dad to work. What about letting him relax with a nice meal straight from the grill? This compact, but powerful 2-burner Char-Broil Urban Grill ($269) could do the trick.
- Lastly, if he’s like most guys and is just plain hard to shop for. You can never go wrong with a Lowe’s Gift Card, right?
If you read this morning’s post about my experience with the Fiskars Momentum mower, you already know that it’s part of this week’s prize.
What you don’t know is that this week’s winner is also gonna score #7 on our gift guide too. Yep, the Char-Broil Urban Grill is also making it’s way to one of you. That way you can spoil the dad in your life with a one-two punch of prizes (or split ’em up if you got a few fathers to pamper this year). Okay, and we wouldn’t blame you if you just kept ’em for yourself. Can’t beat nearly $500 in free stuff, right?
Now let’s get on to how you enter:
- PRIZE: The Char-Broil Urban Grill and Fiskars Momentum Reel Mower courtesy of Lowe’s, Char-Broil and Fiskars
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY _______!” (inserting the names of the dad(s) or father-like figures in your life) and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … why not share something you love about them or how you plan to celebrate, honor or remember them this weekend. Feel free to gush, get sappy, or just tell an embarrassing story that captures why he (or they) make your day.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 16th at 8pm EST

- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States

Happy Father’s Day in loving memory of my dad.
He was always there for us and provided the wisest advice.
Dianna says
Happy 1st Father’s Day to my husband! Our son’s 7 months old, and his daddy is his favorite person in the world.
Happy Father’s Day to my own dad, who’s going to have the chance to celebrate for the first time in six years with his girls (and their guys!)
Happy Father’s Day to my father in law, who’s been as wonderful a father to me – and of course, a great example of fatherhood to my husband.
And, lastly, Happy Father’s Day to my godfather, who knows everything.
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day Jim & big Steve (dad and dad-in-law). I might be biased but I think you both did a great job of raising your kids!
Heather Byrne says
Happy Fathers Day dad!
Stacey says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad!
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to send the actual day with my dad because we booked a trip to Mexico without realizing that it was Father’s day! So, we took him to play a round of golf yesterday afternoon and then out for some dinner! It was a great way to celebrate him…doing one of the things he enjoys the most!
Ellie says
Happy Father’s Day, Ken!! We all get to spend this father’s day moving me into my very first house :)
elizabeth says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY Larry, David, and Mike!!
Ok they are not all three my Dad’s (Larry is my biological father) the other two are Uncles who have been amazing father figures, teachers, banks, shoulders – and much more to me as well! We spend fathers day at the lake in honor of my late grandfather – this was his favorite spot and he loved having all his family together there!
Amanda says
Happy Father’s Day, Doug!!
I’m wishing a happy father’s day to my husband, the father of my 14 month old boy and another on the way. He is super awesome this particular father’s day because he agreed to uproot our entire happy life to move near my family to prepare for the arrival of new baby…including giving up a job two minutes away for a whole new work experience with a commute, and we live NEXTDOOR to my parents, so he’s a saint :)
Chris says
Let’s try this again:
Happy Father’s Day, Jim-bob-arino! I know you’d prefer I simply call you “dad” or “Jim,” but it’s kind of become tradition. Thanks for bringing me up right!
(His birthday is close to father’s day, but I figured I’d better follow the rules of the contest.)
Carie Taguchi says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY BEN!
Amy S. says
Happy Father’s Day, Brad/Kim/Ron! My husband will be out of town for work over Father’s Day (hey, at least work is taking him to Hawaii) so I will be going to the CWS games with my son, my dad, and my grandpa!
Robin C says
I’m definitely a daddy’s girl! Over the years, we’ve enjoyed collecting the 50-states quarters. So this year, I bought him a special mint of the new quarter series soon to come out: the National Parks!
PS- we have an old rusted reel mower that still works great. I love to mow the lawn- just like my dad did when I was a kid.
Shannon says
Happy Father’s Day, Tony! It’s been a banner year – we’re 2 weeks away from closing on our first house and 6 weeks away from welcoming our first son. I think this man deserves a prize! :)
Katy says
Happy Father’s Day Dad (aka George)!
I remember sitting next to my dad when I was young and reading my books while he would read his. We could just sit there for hours. I think he is where I got my love of reading.
Also, we would play checkers all the time. He never let me win, but I remember specifically the one time we had a draw. I appreciate now that he made me earn it.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to Erick my wonderful husband. Who while yanking the hook out of his own thumb still complimented our 4 year old on what a great fisherman he is becoming. Seeing what a great dad he is to our 2 children makes me love him more everyday.

Amy B says
Happy Fathers Day Dave, Dad, Dad2!
This is my husbands third Fathers day and first as a Father of two. This would be the best gift ever since we just recently bought a house and are in need of a lawn mower and grill! We plan on celebrating with our immediate family on Saturday afternoon with a picnic, Sunday morning swimming with my in-laws, and Sunday afternoon/evening BBQ with my Dad. Hopefully the weather in Philly holds out for all these outdoor geared celebrations!
Kay Drew says
Happy Father’s Day Phill!
He’s an amazing daddy to our little 18 month old (today!) daughter. He’s away from home more often than he is home but when he’s here he’s totally devoted to his family. Last year he was deployed and this year he’ll make it home from an assignment just in time for Father’s Day…so the first one we get to celebrate as a family!
Vickie says
Happy Father’s Day daddy Dave!!
Miriam H. says
Happy Father’s Day, Geno! With 3 daughters getting married in a total of 20 months, you definitely deserve these great gifts!

Happy Fathers Day Patrick! (Happy Father’s to my dad also!) Two of the most wonderful men in my life! They are always so supportive! I hope to get my boys out fishing this weekend or to some guys day out!
Annette says
Happy Fathers Day to Cary and John! (My husband and my dad) ? Love you guys!
Kimberly Pinkerton says
Happy Father’s Day Eric!!!! My husband is always doing DIY projects and one of those involves fixing our current lawn mower just about once a week and hand pulling weeds. Needless to say, we are desperate for some new lawn equipment. :)
Justine Goruley says
Happy Father’s Day to our Marine Sgt. Gourley!! Thank you for all you do for Aidan, Olivia, and the “bun in the oven”! We love and appreciate you!
I love how he keeps life fun and exciting, everyday we laugh, even if it’s at his expense sometimes :)
Amy says
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad, he is the best! Always provided very quiet but very strong support for all of us!
Maddie E says
Happy Father’s Day, Daddy! My dear dad, Scott, is an amazing father and would LOVE some new toys! :) He once used his mower to make us a mini-golf course in the backyard. He mowed in obstacles and everything. We’re celebrating with a bbq this weekend! (The grill would be a nice touch!)
Catheryne says
Happy Father’s Day, Eddie!!!
Love you! You are the best.

Happy Father’s Day Bob!

Happy Father’s Day Papi… Winning the grill would be great because sadly his very own gas grill broke down and I need some more of my dad’s grilled skirt steak! Wish me luck!
-Andrea
mark says
Happy Father’s Dad (Gary)! Thanks for all the help with the yard these past two weeks, you deserve something nice from Lowes! :)
Hope says
Happy Father’s Day DAD! Because he let me mow the lawn when I was younger..even though I probably didn’t do as good of a job as him ;) Now I want the amazing push mower for our new house (closing this week!!) so he doesn’t have to let us borrow his!
Ashley Eiban says
Happy Fathers Day to my wonderful Dad and Father-in-law! We are going to be traveling 3 hours to spend the day with our parents, especially our wonderful Fathers!
C. James says
Happy Father’s Day to my sweet husband, my father, grandfather, and late grandfather. I love you so very much and I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it hadn’t been for all of you. God bless each and every one of you and all you other wonderful dad’s out there!
Meagan says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!!
My dad always comes through for me when I need him. I’m not always sure how he does it but no matter what I can count on him to help in in any situatioN!!
MJ says
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad, Steve! I’ve always been a bit of a daddy’s girl — relying on him to pick the right computers, cameras and electronics. He’s a pro at hanging my curtain rods and frames perfectly level for me and has helped me move at least once a year for the past 5 years. He also answers my calls at 6:40 a.m. when I’ve blown a circuit and can’t get the breaker box to switch the power back on at my new apartment. He gets my humor — we can look across the table at each other and just start laughing while everyone else is confused. But inevitably, if I’m crying or complaining about a boyfriend on the phone he’ll say, “Are you sure you don’t want to talk to your mother?” I’d love to be able to tell him “Thanks” in a big way!
Kara says
Happy Fathers Day Nick! He is the best papa to my two doggies Marley and Kona!
