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, JIM!! You are a great father, always in tune with our son’s likes and interests and helping to develop them.
Krista D. says
Happy Father’s Day, Jon! My husband is a wonderful dad to Abby, 4 and Caleb, 2. Unfortunately, due to a temporary work assignment in Arizona (we live in Pennsylvania), this will be the first Father’s Day since he became a dad that he won’t be able to spend it with our children. We love and miss him so much.
Fran says
“Happy Father’s Day”- We have 3 little boys…ages 6,4,and 1. My husband is absolutely the best dad any child could have. He not only works hard to provide for them, he spends ALL of his time away from work with the boys. He’s one special dad!
Laura says
Happy Father’s Day!!
We are celebrating this year with both sets of parents at a cookout- and it’s my husband’s first (almost) father’s day! We are expecting!! Very exciting!
Dana E. says
Happy Father’s Day Perry & Bebe! My Dad is a total goof ball, and is really quirky. But he also works really hard, every single day of the year. If he’s not working or doing something to the house or with the horses, it must be midnight and he’s asleep. My father-in-law is awesome and so much fun. He also works extremely hard is the oldest hippy you’ll ever meet. Love ’em both!

Happy Father’s Day!!!
Best Dad story – I think my dad is hilarious, even when he’s not trying. Particularly when he can’t stop giggling at silly movies like Enchanted. He thinks the chipmunk is a hoot!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Steve! My stepdad has taught me sooo many DIY tips to keep me self-sufficient around the house!
Jennifer O'Brien says
Happy Father’s Day Chris!
My dad is known in the family for being the ultimate coupon-clipper. On his most recent trip to CVS the cashier OWED HIM 16 cents. He had to buy a pack of gum to check out because you’re not allowed to have a negative balance!
He’s also the songwriter, with family favorites like “It’s Time to Wake Up in Virginia” and “I Wish I Could Find My Be-e-e-lt”.
Lisa T says

Happy Father’s Day Dan! That’s my dad and he is unfortunately having a biopsy done this Friday to see if his lymphoma has returned or not. He’s always been such a kind, caring father and here’s hoping that he’s still cancer free!

I love my Dad because he supports me in anything and everything I do and he’s always there for me. I would love to give him something special (and out of my budget) to him for Father’s day.

Happy Fathers Day Dad! My dad is the greatest and has been a HUGE help as we move in to our new, more of a fixer-upper than we originally thought, home!!! And to my husband who is the greatest dog dad our cute little mutt could ask for!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY GREG! You are the best Dad out two munchkins could ever have! Maybe I can bribe the kids to let you sleep past 7 for once!
Karen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY MONTE! My husband is the stepfather to my FOUR kids. He didn’t have any kids of his own when he married me but four years later, you would never believe it. The kids, the dog, and I agree, he is the BEST bonus dad anyone could ask for.
nancy says
Happy Father’s Day to my Husband and my DAD! My husband is a soon-to-be father who will make such a fun father. My Dad used to drive me everywhere when I was a teenager – I am so grateful for all the time he spent driving and waiting for me at school events!

He is the best hubby and father in the world!!!
Tawny says
Happy Fathers Day, Dave! I have been unable to visit my dad for almost a year as my step-mother is recovering from cancer and cannot have visitors. But as always my thoughts and prayers are with both of them. Hopefully I will see them soon.
Suzanne says
Happy Father’s Day, Gregory!
I love honoring my husband on Father’s Day because he’s a great dad, but also because he always cries when the kids give him their (homemade) gifts. We’ll be working on hand print t-shirts this weekend and preparing for the floodworks. :)
Janice Devereux says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
My dad with (no formal training) built my bedroom, a family rm and extended our garage, in the house I grew up in. All while holding down a full time job to support his family of 5. How awesome of a Dad is that?!
