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

Happy Father’s Day, Dad & Bob! (It’s wierd calling my dad, Jim, by his first name and Bob’s my father’s in law)
I think both would love the grill so if I’m the lucky winner it will be hard to decide . . . hmm maybe I’ll just give it to my hubby (he’ll be a father at some point) and invite the dads over for dinner!!

Megan says
Happy Father’s Day Fred, Bill and Ben!
The best thing about dads are that they seem to know everything about everything. How do they do that? I love my dad because he taught me how to work hard for what I want. And I love my husband because he’s a wonderful father for his 2 children–even when they don’t want him to be.
Emily says
Happy Father’s Day! Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!
Nicole says

I love them both very much!

Even though you’re no longer here, you are always in my heart. Your words ring so true, “Life is what you make it. Make it your best.”
And…can’t forget “Plan your work and work your plan.”
Great advice. Thanks, Dad.
Adam says
Happy Father’s Day to MEEEEEEEEEE!

Happy Father’s Day Matt!
It’s my husbands first father’s day (we have a 6 month old) and we just moved into our first house so he could use both of these prizes!
Kate @ Savour Home says
Happy Father’s Day Ken!
As the father of my darling daughter, who is too young to shop herself, I’m hoping to celebrate Father’s Day in a BIG WAY — I’m hoping to give him a house. We’re supposed to close on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed!
Angie C says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY LENNIE!
Lennie is the best stepfather on the planet! Stepfathers are more than special for being the father’s they don’t HAVE to be. I am so lucky to have him in my life. He just got laid off and could greatly use any of these resources from Lowe’s to get back on his feet (he is a mechanic).
Thanks and Happy Father’s Day to John as well!
Julia says
Happy father’s day, dad! Unfortunately, I won’t get to see him this weekend, since he lives out of town. Hopefully, I can take him out to dinner next weekend!
Amber says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAVE!!!
My dad is my on personal hero. Whenever I was hurt or even just down he was there to comfort. I wish I could be with him on fathers day but it’s a long drive to get to him. Here is hoping he has a good day with my brother and mom.
Jennifer says
Happy Father’s Day Kenny!
You are the best dad to our three kiddos. You work hard everyday and come home excited to see us. We love you and are thankful for you!
Lauren says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BEN!!!
Ben is my fantastic husband and the father of our beautiful twin daughters. We just moved into our first house three days ago and could really use these gifts from Lowe’s. Ben is a technology guru, but we both don’t have much experience in the home/yardwork department. Here’s to homeownership!
Christina says
Happy Father’s Day Lloyd!
I am not sure I can even put in words just how much my dad means to me. He is the most generous man… not just to his family, but to everyone he meets. I am so lucky to have him as my dad!
Jeremy says
Happy fathers day Dad!
rubyp3 says
Happy Father’s Day Dee! Congrats are being a dad for 11 weeks…you’re doing great!
Christin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY RICHARD!!
My dad used to embarasse me all the time as a kid b/c he’d joke with the waiter or waitress and they would never get his jokes – things like that. But now, if someone doesn’t “get” my dad, then that’s generally a good sign to me that they may not be the person I want to hang out with or be with. And if a waitress or waiter jokes back with my dad – they definiately get extra points with us!
Kate says
Happy Fathers Day Dad!
I am very lucky to have such a wonderful father who gives so much of himself for his children.
Anna says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, PAPA JONES!!
Kate says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! He’s just awesome, and totally deserves a great dad-day gift like this.
Jana says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TIM!
He’ll be in a different country and we don’t have kids, but there will be a card from the dog hidden in his luggage :)
Courtney says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!
We will celebrate on vacation in Cape Cod!
Alisa says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad & to all the dads out there!
So many of our friends are celebrating their first fathers day this year! I hope they all have an awesome day! And who knows…perhaps Ill get to say happy father’s day to my husband in a year or two!
Kalyn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! He’s the best.
