****This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
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!

Emily says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
My dad has been such an amazing support for me over the years. He challenges me, but is always there for me – through moving back home at the ripe old age of 29, through *another* stint at grad school, through a complete career change, and through home ownership. I really appreciate having him in my life!
Amanda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY LARRY!!!!!!!!! My dad is truly the best man I know – I even refer to him as my “Main” because he’s A #1 in my book! :) I’m very lucky to have him as my father because no matter where I’ve gone in this world, no matter what adventures I tackle, I know he’d move heaven and earth to help me and that has made all the difference in my life!!! Love you Daddy!!!
Jenny says
Happy Father’s Day Bob, John, & Nate!

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY GRANT!”
My husband is the BEST dad to our four-legged daughter Brittany, and even brags to strangers about how smart she is. I can’t wait until we have a 2-legged child, because I know he’ll make a great dad!
Chelsea says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!!
I love my dad more than words can say!! He gave me an amazing wedding, just helped us with our down payment on me & my husbands new home, and has been there ANYTIME I need him. If there is one person I can count on more than anything, it’s him. I trust him more than words can say and I always go to him for any sort of advice. He’s the best dad anyone could ask for!!

Happy Father’s Day Brian!! I sent my dad a ticket to his favorite airshow (EAA in Oshkosh) and a plane ticket here so he can go with us. Going there with him is like having our own tour guide along. He knows all about the planes and answers every newbie question we have with utmost patience.
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day…
to my husband who I adore. I had a a very uninvolved Father, and I always said that when I got married I would marry a man who would be an amazing Father; I did just that ;) Having been out of town for work on his first three Father’s Days, this year he will be home celebrating as much as he can with the little guy who made him a Father.

Caitlin says
Happy Father’s Day, Jim!
My dad amazes me. He is one of the toughest guys, but his generosity is incredible. I hope to be as wise and as giving as he is someday.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
…Although I’m not sure he needs either gift (he has a lawn service to tend the grass and just bought an extremely nice gas grill two weeks ago) I’m sure we could put them to good use at our house for when he comes to visit! :)
Laura says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY LEE!
After a bad health scare this year, I am just so thankful to have my dad to celebrate with this year!
Krista H says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BRIAN!
Watching my husband as a dad is amazing. He is always so fast to drop what he’s doing and chase our little 2 year old boy around and cuddle with our 5 month old daughter. He gets great joy out of making our kids happy and trying to make memories with them everyday. Can’t imagine walking through life without him!
Christy B. says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad!!
Jennifer G says
Happy Father’s Day Eric!
This is the first Father’s Day we will celebrate my fabulous husband as now he is also the best dad ever to our son!
faith says
Happy Fathers Day Doc! My dad is simply the best — after 40 years of practice in a small town he is simply known as Doc — Lord knows he needs some of these tools to keep him busy in retirement. (you can only fish and golf so much…)
Kate says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAVE!
Even though you’ve only been at it for 6 months, I already know our son has one of the best dads around and I am soo proud of you everyday!
Emily H. says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!
I’ll avoid the sappy since I’m at work (shh!) but for everything he does, he deserves this.
Brent says
Happy Father’s Day
Love being a Daddy to my 3.25 year old son, Tommy!
Dylan W says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad!
Thanks for teaching me a DIY attitude for things!
Anna says
Happy Father’s Day Larry! I hope you have a relaxing weekend!
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad (Mike)!
One of my favorite things about my dad is that he is an artist and I absolutely love everything he paints, draws, and sketches (seriously, he has the Brushes app for the iPhone and the things he can create with just his finger on a screen are amazing). Every wall in my house has some of my dad’s art on it and it’s great having a constant daily reminder of him and his talent every time I enter a room.
Obviously, this is just one small reason why he is the greatest, and I couldn’t ask for a better dad!
Heather Mc says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Jack!
Emily says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Steve! My dad always told me that growing up he knew he would do something really special with his life. I’ll never forget the day he told me that the special thing he was meant to do, was to raise me, to invest in my future, so that I could be great. What a wonderful, sacrificial father. I love you, Dad!
Yvonne P. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY PAPA!
Can’t wait for our Father’s day brunch!

You are a super husband and very supportive of whatever strange ideas I come up with. I was so blessed the day you asked me to marry you and it has been a wonderful 28 years. I love you more than ever!

Suzie says
Happy Fathers Day Tim!! I knew I loved you when I married you, but seeing you with our son these last 2 years only makes me love you more!
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day Jeff!
Jeff is my dad and my father in law’s name, so it’s easy for me to just say it once :)
Mary says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! (Sorry, I just can’t call you Tom)
I wish I didn’t live more than 5,000 miles away from you. :( Since I can’t see you on father’s Day, I’ll have to settle for Skype.
