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
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

my dad is pretttty much the coolest guy around. he wrote me a letter (a real letter, in an envelope, with a stamp) EVERY DAY FOR 8 YEARS while i was in college and medical school. he signed off each with a heart in red marker. i couldn’t have done it without him.

Lili says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY ERIC (BEZ-BEZ)!!!!! My hubby is awesome because he jumped into action as a dad mid-infant stage to my two children. Together, we have three children, aged 5,5, and 6. He is awesome because he is the puke-cleaner-upper, the garbage-taker-outer, the fix-whatever-is-brokener, and the family-devotional-time-organizer of our house. This man has it all, and we all love him to death (and probably drive him crazy, too…). I sure hope that we can win this giveaway so that we can give back to him even half of what he has given to us.

Stephanie says
Happy Father’s Day to my fantastic father, Dave. I could never have asked for a better dad.
My brother and I have joked about my dad’s “It was in the paper today…” stories for years, but he has been such an inspiration to me to strive to be a lifelong learner. He reads the paper front to back every morning over his cup of tea. I love that he’s always so up to date on everything that’s going on in our community and always jumps at the chance to let you know what he’s read.
Echo says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DARIN!
My husband is not the father of my children, but you if you didn’t know it, you’d never guess. From the time we started dating, he took them under his wing and has treated them as his own children in the years since.
It’s very special to me considering the father of my children is not active in their lives. Now they don’t have to miss out on the things I cannot teach them, like how to throw a baseball, bait a hook and bag a deer (well, how to try to, anyway! lol). And, more importantly, they know what it’s like to have a dad who loves you and participates in your life, especially when your own father has walked out on you.
Ali says
Happy Father’s Day Dad….
We yard sale together for fun : )
Mary Ann says
Happy Father’s Day Peter!
We’ve had a pretty rough patch these last few years, but we’re really climbing out of it in a hurry. A great father and pretty decent husband, he surely deserves a huge outpouring of gifts for father’s day (we’re already surprising him with some professional photos we snuck out to have taken a few weeks back).
Laura says
Happy Father’s day to my dad and husband!! We’ll probably celebrate by letting my hubby sleep in, and then grilling something.
Mary-Kathryn says
Happy Fathers’ Day Papa (my late grandfather). I was blessed for him to have lived with us for the first 18 years of my life. His generosity will forever be an inspiration to me.
Katie says
Happy Fathers Day Steve (husband), Mike (dad) and Tom (step-dad)!!! All 3 of these men have been absolutely wonderful to my son in his 7 months of life so far!
Lisa Pierce says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!! I love how my dad doesn’t take life too seriously and he has taught me to enjoy every minute of it.
Megan says
Happy Father’s Day Tom (dad), and Tom (grandpa), and Tim (father-in-law)!
Julia says
Happy Father’s Day Neil!
Peter could not have asked for a better Daddy – your willingness and complete insistence that I stay home with Petey, even if it means extra work for you, will mean more to our son and future kids than anything I could do. I love you more than anything!
sarah w says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! aka: Daddy-o, Papa R, and Nick!
I’m not going to see you this Father’s Day (but we’ll be together the following weekend) – but know that I shall celebrate you all day! Brats on the grill, a cold brew in hand, and golf on the tv. Love you!
Karen says
Happy Father’s Day John!
Marilyn says
Happy Father’s Day, My 90 year old dad got to go on the HONOR FLIGHT in April and I was so proud of him.

s leigh says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!

Happy Father’s Day Rich!
Looking forward to celebrating YOU this weekend! Great sense of humor and I learned how to be a hard worker from him.
Melissa says
Happy Father’s Day Damian and Dad!
Both of these guys are the best. Damian is my fiance and future step-dad to my four year old. He’s absolutely great with her. And my dad has always, always been there for me.
Karen K. says
Happy father’s day, John!
I love you
MJ says
Happy Father’s Day fe-ho-ney! You are the most supportive and loving Daddy to our little girl. You amaze me everyday and I am forever greatful for all you do for us. I love you…MORE!
miriam says
Happy Father’s Day John!
Since neither my father nor my father-in-law are still with us, the only dad I celebrate Father’s Day with is my delightful husband, John. We still remember both our dads, and their wackiness, not only on Father’s Day, but everyday.
Tiffany says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY EATHAN! This is his second official Father’s day! Yay! I think he’s such a great dad for so many reasons…and our son Jaxon is so lucky to have such an awesome dad who loves him SOOOOO much! Last year, when Jaxon was born we were WAY strapped for money…and I couldn’t afford to give him a nice gift for his first big day. I made him a homemade card! This year I was able to get him a personalized coffee mug with Jax’s pic! Hooray that things do get better with time right??? Now of course…with a giveaway like this…oh my gravy!! If I won this for him…we would both cry! It’s just SO NICE! Thanks so much for the opportunity!
Jenifer Dafria says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY ASHISH!
Ashish is the best “papa” ever to our two children. We’ve been through a lot together especially with our youngest child and Ashish is the most patient, giving and loving dad and husband there could be. We love him! My own dad is pretty great too….either one of our guys would love the giveaway….thanks for the contest.
