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.

Happy Fathers Day, Ron! My father is currently suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and despite it all, he’s still my rock when I need relationship or house advice.
Stephanie S says
Happy Father’s Day! My wonderful father has passed away, but the whole family remembers him fondly. The best gift he ever gave me (besides a great family and childhood), was teaching us all how to ski. Every time I get on the ski slope, I smile and thank Dad!
Melissa says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad Mike and my father-in-law Ventura! Thank you for helping us with the never-ending remodeling projects and for all the free babysitting! We couldn’t ask for better dads or for better grandpas for our girls.

Happy father’s day, Dad!

Happy Fathers Day, Dad! When my mother left us as kids, my Dad stepped up big time. He raised three healthy happy kids that have grown to be well adjusted adults. After a recent marriage to a lovely lady, he now has two more kids to provide the strength and knowledge to. I am so fortunate to have this man in my life. I wish all dads were just like him.
Nina says

Happy Father’s Day Daddy (aka Gordon)!
I love that my dad is a great storyteller, although this often works against us when it comes time to go home. We like to to tease him when he says, “…well to make a long story…” while we’re thinking to make a he should have said “…to make a short story long…” :)
Liz says
Happy Father’s Day, Bob and Roy!
I love my Dad for his unwavering faith and pride in me, no matter what the circumstances. And I love my father-in-law for always keeping me on my toes!
Jeremy says
Happy Fathers Day Dad! There’s no one better.
Beth says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! I have been blessed with the most fun, thoughtful, loving, amazing father anyone could ask for.
Dad Story: Right after I graduated college, I borrowed my mom’s BRAND new Honda Accord and drove it down to Atlanta to visit friends. On the way back home, I crashed into a guard rail on a rain drenched off ramp and nearly totaled it. I was so scared to call my dad. To my surprise, he wasn’t upset at all (at least he never showed it!), he was just glad I was ok…and the poor guy paid for a tow truck to tow it from South Carolina back to Virginia Beach! Now, that’s an amazing Dad!
Deana says
Happy Father’s Day Mark!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dad for our boys!

Happy Father’s Day, Ray!
He’s my brother and a new father (my nephew is 9 months old) and he’s doing a GREAT job! I have never seen a guy so enamored with his child as my brother is. I think the baby is his new favorite toy. Keep up the good work, brother!
Kim Reyes says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DADDY! You are my awesome chef Wolfgang Puck, kick-ass Clint Eastwood, and Will Farrell who makes me laugh all the time and at the smallest things. Thank you for all the strength, humor, and care you give…*muah*!

Happy Father’s Day Marshall! It’s my husband’s first!! And Lowe’s is his faaavorite store. :)
Jenn C. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, RICK!! One of the things I love about my husband is how loving and giving he is. My grandparents came to live with us recently. Both have a smorgasboard of health issues and require a lot of maintenance, of which I’m mostly in charge. However, he enjoys nothing more than cooking them gourmet meals on weekends and shuttling them off to church. If I’ve got a client or project taking too much of my time, he will also take care of their medication and their other needs while I focus. On top of that, he’s a loving pup-Daddy to our four “kids”. I regularly find them on the couch napping with him, our chihuahua taking pride of place on his chest. Too sappy?
kim says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, RICH! You’re a great dad, and deserve something nice for yourself! Thanks, and we love you…mom, s & a.
Candace says
Happy Father’s Day, Bryan! He’s great with our boys. You would be hard to find a father more devoted to his children. After a long day at work, he still gets down and plays with them because he enjoys it, too. Looking forward to hanging out with them all this weekend! ;)
Sona says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! You are the best!
Amy Jo Secker says
Happy Father’s Day Danny! You are the best day that our little Levi could ask for.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY KEITH! In addition to the millions of things I have to be thankful for from my dad, he also gave me his quick wit and an over-the-top love of Excel spreadsheets.
Katie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY David (Dad) and Jim (Dad-in-law)!
Celeste says
Happy Father’s Day, Aaron!
It’s our first year as parents and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner and friend to share it with.
Pat says
Happy Father’s Day Bill! On Father’s Day, I do all the grilling and let my husband have a break and enjoy a relaxing day.
Holli says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BRIAN [DADDY]! You have always supported me, even if my choices were a little crazy. I love you and I couldn’t have gotten this far without your support and love.
Nicole says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, SKIP! My dad just sold all his tools in preparation for a Florida retirement, and he’s regretting it dearly :) Silly man!
Katherine says
Happy Father’s Day Lester/Rex! Both my dad and my father-in-law are super awesome people for so many different reasons. My dad still has first place of course, partially because of that time in highschool he promised to take ballroom dance lessons with me if I made a three-point shot. I did, and he kept his promise. :)
liz says
Happy Father’s Day, Jimbo (love of my life!)
He starts his new career today as a stay-at-home-daddy to our 9month old son. I couldn’t be more proud of him, excited for him, or in love with him.

Happy Father’s Day to my husband Kelly and to my father Charles and father in law Don!
You are all the best…
Melissa says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!!! You’re the best!
Alex says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY ROBBY!! You are an incredible father to our two son’s, Holt and Finn. So much has changed and been tested since we stood in the hot sun 8 years ago and promised to be kind and loving with one anothers hearts. Two kids, two dogs, a mortgage, a mailbox full of bills and countless emergency doctors visits later you are still my favorite person to spend the day with. You are a hero to Holt (right up there with Batman, lucky you!) and a ray of sunshine to Finn. We all love you so!
Lara says
Happy Father’s Day to my wonderful dad! And to my two brothers!
We’ll be celebrating this weekend by taking my nephews to see Toy Story 3 and then I’ll cook all the guys a great dinner!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY RYAN!!!
We bought a house built in the 1920’s and we have redone almost every room. Ryan comes home from working a 8-6 job and works until all hours of the night to finish every and all projects I throw his way. Ryan is completely devoted to his family and our happiness that he still makes time to make our daughter and I feel so special and loved. He means the world to us and I see in his eyes our wonderful future :)
Brittney says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! He is still my top man in my life.
