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!

Sadly I will not see my father on fathers day, he will be on his annual surf club father son OBX camping weekend. I am sure my brother will party enough with him for the both of us! But I will probably bake him some tasty baked goods.

Sunny says
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad! When my biological dad skipped out on my mom and me, my grandparents stepped forward. To make sure he’d never be able to try to get custody of me, my grandparents officially adopted me. My DAD is my grandpa by blood, but he is truly my only father. I love him and appreciate all that they have sacrificed and done without all for me. :)
Laurie says
Happy Fathers Day Dad!
gina says
Happy Father’s Day, Tim!!
Wish I could post a pic of what a great dad he is…after a 9 hour fishing charter yesterday…he came home and enthusiastically had a nerf gun war with us complete with building bunkers out of cushions, furniture, and blankets. I was a little nervous he would be too tired and our 9 year old would be disappointed. But Tim knew he was looking forward to it and he dove right it complete with coming up with “fatigues” for him and the boys.
It was a blast and I was really impressed with him.
Monica K says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!
This year I’ll be making my dad dinner. I think its more thoughtful to take the time to make him something he loves, rather than going to a restaurant (although thats just as nice, but I like to make the extra effort).
Alisha M. Wielfaert says
Happy Fathers day Papa, you’re the best for teaching me to fish and use a hammer and work hard. So glad for evreything you do

Happy Father’s Day, Rick!
My dad is fantastic. He’s extremely handy and loves surprises. This year I plan on surprising him by driving 11 hours back to Michigan unannounced to spend the weekend with him and the family. It’s called pulling a Rick. Can’t wait!
JessG says
Happy Father’s Day, Mike!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD AND WILLIE!
My Dad and I have always had a special relationship, I was the boy he never had. He was always helping me build forts, taking me to the boat show, and playing soccer.
Katie says
Happy Father’s Day Dad (Clint) & Grandpa (Bob)!
Daddy, you are proof that nice guys DO finish first. Thank you for always being supportive, always calling me out when need a reality check, always having time to be silly and almost always knowing when I needed a hug rather than a lecture. :) I love you!
Grandpa, thank you for being such a good Dad to MY Dad. He is who he is because you are who you are. Simple as that.
Jason and I appreciate and love you both so much!
Megan says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!! to my dad, Jim and my boyfriend Marc.

Tracie W says
Happy Fathers Day, Mike!
My dad is where I get everything but my looks from. (Well, we do have the same feet and bad eyes!) He is an amazing dad who will do anything for us girls- including make the best bbq for our wedding reception 2 weeks ago!
Chris says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad! We’re going to take dad fishing (well, some of us) and everyone else is in charge of the party/barbecue. (And cleanup. Hah!)
Vanessa says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!!
My dad is the cream of the crop. He’s been outnumbered by the girls in our house and finally has the son (son-in-law) he always wanted. I can’t wait to see the two of you guys man it up with your tools, golf and grills.
L says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
HollowSquirrel says
Happy Father’s Day, Mike!
While I adore my own father and the father of my kids, I want to send this greeting to my brother — dad of two. We didn’t get along growing up, and I would never have guessed back then what an amazing father and husband he grew to be. He’s a real stand-up guy who takes care of his family, works very hard, and is always ready to make his family laugh. I admire him.
tae says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!

Shawna says
Happy Father’s Day, JOSH!
While you’re not a real daddy yet, I know you will be soon, and thanks for being such a great dad to my two little dogs in the meantime…
Kele says
Happy Fathers Day! I am a daddy’s girl. I wish I could see him more now that I’ve moved out of state.
Vea says
Happy Father’s Day Daddy!!!!
Cora says
Happy Father’s Day Honey!
My husband is a wonderful father! He taught our almost 2 year old daughter to throw both hands up in the air every time he says “Raise your hand if you’re beautiful!” I love that he is helping her grow up to be a strong, confident woman.
mrs. doodle says
Happy Father’s to the best day to my girl’s in the world. And to my father who is away on work and won’t be here to celebrate with us this year. And to my FIL who passed 2 1/2 years ago… we miss him a lot! So wish he could have known the girls:( But we are going to celebrate everything dad this weekend! We love them bunches!
Laura says
Happy Fathers Day David!
My Dad is the best! Not only does he still take care of me when my house needs a man’s touch (and that is often!) but he helped me to grow up in a loving, God-centered home, and that is the greatest gift a girl can ask for! And who could not love a guy that will wear knickers and argyle socks to play golf, just to show off a Fathers Day gift!
Han says
Happy Father’s Day, Hien!!
I love my dad because he is such an inspiration, escaping your country so that his kids can grow up in a land of opportunity. He sacrificed so much, for which I am eternally grateful. Of course, he is an amazing dad, stern yet goofy, fun-loving, yet serious. We’ll be throwing our annual family bbq for father’s day at the marina :)
Debra says
Happy fathers Day, Hank: We are born on the same day and we have many similar traits, not all of them good ones, but I know if I call I can always count on you. And happy 1st fathers day John!!!
Jennifer says
Happy Fathers Day to all of the great dads I know! Particularly my wonderful husband who is the best dad ever to our 6 month old daughter. :)
Charlynne says
Happy Father’s Day to Ralph, my wonderful dad! And Happy Father’s Day to Herb, my husband and the father of my beautiful baby girl!
