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!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
Now that my husband and I have just bought our first home and are embarking on home improvement projects left and right, I’m more grateful than ever for all those times my dad made me help him with projects growing up!
Margaret D says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!
I have an awesome Dad. He’s got a great since of humor and super handy! He’s always putting others in front of himself. A great father to have!
ashley says
Happy Father’s Day Mike!
My dad is awesome and he never ever missed a single field hockey game or dance concert when I was a kid.
Tammy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY RON & JERRY!
My father and my father-in-law are awesome because they are the go-to guys we can rely on whenever we need help around the house…which is even more important now that we are preparing for our first little one.
Melinda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Paul!
Favorite memory- When we use to eat dinner Dad would sit and quiz me on all the Presidents. Needless to say, I know all my Presidents now!
Julia says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JAY!!!
This is my wonderful husband’s first Father’s Day as well, and I have a minor league baseball game and tour of a local craft-beer brewery planned to celebrate the new top-notch pop!
Both my husband and I had touchy relationships with our own fathers, which makes it all the more special to see what a truly caring, attentive, and all-around awesome father he already is to our four month old son. I’m sure that all parents want their child to have an easier and better life than they did, but every time I see my husband and son together it makes me so happy to know that our son will have the kind of father-child relationship that I only dreamed of. I’ve always knew he would make a wonderful dad, and he proves me right almost every day!
Marlena says
Happy Father’s Day Dad…thanks for bringing dirt inside the house for me to play with while you watched me and football. My dad the multitasker!
Rose says
Happy Fathers day Steve and Scott! The wisdom you two impart to us has been invaluable living so far from home this past year in England.
Amy says
Happy Father’s Day, Dan. You’re such a good husband and a wonderful father. Thank you for taking care of all of us and working so that I can stay home with our little man. :)
Pam H. says
Happy Father’s Day Dad (Butch) and Chris (husband)!
It just so happens a new Grill is what we planned on buying my Dad for Fathers day. His broke last summer.
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day… Chris, Jerry, and Ells! We love you!
Amanda H says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, RANDY!!!
He’s one of the hardest working, most determined, life loving, and optimistic people I know.
Anne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD!!!!!
My family has had a very rough year with my mom being in and out of the hospital since January 1st. I have taken on being prime caretaker for her but Dad is always there to relieve me when needed. He trys so hard to take good care of her. It is really sweet. This father’s day will be celebrated a little late but I am going to make sure he gets a day to relax and do nothing!
Catherine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD (TIM)!
Anytime my dad wasn’t deployed, I was glued to his side. I remember digging for worms with him in our front yard when I was little and holding his feet when he did sit-ups; then he’d hold mine. I feel so lucky to have such positive memories of my father and childhood in general.
And even though he hasn’t had a chance to prove it yet, I know my husband is going to be an amazing father in the next few years.
Carrie says
Happy Father’s Day Pops!
My dad and I will likely celebrate with a long bike ride together as we’re both training for long distance triathlons. The past two years we have trained for the Chicago Marathon together and this year he taught himself to swim (at the age of 50!) so he could join me in triathlons!
Molly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, MIKE!
I treasure how my dad goes out of his way for me and my brother. A silly case in point: I work for my mother’s photography business, based out of my parents house, and had a crazy craving for ice cream last week. After bugging my mom and younger brother to no avail, I cornered my dad. He laughed me off with the comment, “You’ve got a driver’s license; use it!”
Not more than 10 minutes later, I heard my dad’s voice beckoning me to the stairs. He asked what kind of ice cream I was in the mood for and made a special trip to the store to indulge my craving. Even at 26, my dad sure knows how to spoil his “little girl”! Thanks, Dad!
Amber says
Happy Father’s Day, Steve!
My father is one of the most generous, loyal, loving, selfless people I know. He works hard to support his family, makes sure he ALWAYS has time to lend a helping hand or offer a listening ear or give some great advice. He loves to be busy and loves having a houseful (with 5 kids and two kid-in-laws, that’s not too difficult!) He never complains about anything, even when he’s swamped with projects around the house (lawn, pool, etc). And, without fail, every father’s day, he asks for socks :) With Father’s Day right around the corner and his birthday three days after that, I would LOVE to give him something he will remember!
Corrie says
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad!!!! A great dad who loves me unconditionally and supports me always.
Plus he didn’t get mad when my puppy chewed up his glasses this weekend :)
Marlo says
Happy Father’s Day, Speedy! My dad works so hard to make me, my two sister and my mom happy. He’d do anything for us and definitely deserves a very special day!!!!!!
corinne purnell says

Leigh says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, MY LOVE!
You are a fabulous, caring father – I love watching you with our boys! Thank you for all the ways you take care of our family!
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day Scott!
Scott is the best doggie-dad to our 16 month old mutt Darla. Not only does he walk her twice a day, and keep her fed and watered when I forget, but loves to spend time romping with her on the living room floor till she’s a pooped pup. :)
Emily M says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!!
My Dad has prostate cancer and just had his removed. We’re hoping this helps everything! Keep him in your prayers! So this year, since we’re located in Baltimore, we’re having a cookout/crabfeast at our house with all siblings & parents invited.
Happy early Father’s day to you John!
Erica says
Happy Father Day Bill!!
HE has the best sense of humor and is incrediably supportive.
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! My dad has been my rock my whole life. I am obsessed with history, love hearing oldies on the radio, semi-pack rat thanks to him and he has been so supportive through this past year while my husband and I made a major transition in our lives. He has always loved and supported me through everything!
Taryn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Rick!

Abby says
Happy Father’s Day to my wonderful father-in-law, Jerry!
Andrea says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY HARRY!!!
I actually call my dad by his first name, Harry! While he may not be the “best” dad ever I know he loves me and my brother and I know he’s made intense sacrifices throughout the years.. I can’t wait to have him walk me down the aisle!
Rhea says
Happy Father’s Day Chris!
My sweet hubs, Chris, will be celebrating his first Father’s Day this year…we’re due July 17th :)
monstorb says
Happy Father’s Day SPAD!
My Spad is the best dad anyone could ask for. He came into our lives when I was six (after my father passed away). From the first day I’ve been his daughter, not his step-daughter. I am beyond lucky. I have had two wonderful fathers in one lifetime.
Marcia says
Happy Father’s Day, J.D.
My dad is really my step-dad, but only on paper. Not to any of us in the family. He has been my dad for most of my life. His acceptance of us taught me to be open-minded and accepting.
amalisa says
Happy Father’s Day Brad! Although you are a new father, you are a wonderful one!!
Melissa says
Happy Father’s Day to my wonderful husband (daddy to be)!
We are expecting our first baby in Sept. Even though our little boy isn’t out in the world yet, I consider us already parents because our every thought now takes the baby into consideration. We painted his room over the weekend and I can’t stop walking by to take a peek!
Holly says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!
It’s my first Father’s Day that I won’t be able to spend with my dad, since I’m 8 hours away. But I know he’s only a phone call away with great advice anytime I need it.
Rachel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY PETE!
For being the best father ever to our amazing little 1-year old girl.
Kellsey says
happy father’s day dad, mark & graham! to dad: thanks for showing me that growing up on a pig farm and being a tom boy would actually keep me grounded and teach me to be a tough woman. to mark: thanks for raising your son (graham) into such a hard-working, loving man! to graham: thanks for being an amazing husband and daddy to our boxer dogs bodde & berkley!!!
Kimberly says
“Happy Father’s Day Steven!
You have only been a daddy for four years but it’s as though you were born to be one. Our Little Girl is one lucky girl!
juco says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad(Gary) and Russell!
My dad’s good ole’ charcoal grill rusted through this year, so I know he’d be thrilled to have a fancy new one. And Russell (dad-in-law) is a daylily enthusiast, and the reel mower would definitely help him keep the lawn tidy in between the beds.
Jessica says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY GARY!
Growing up without a dad(my dad doesn’t know I exist) made Father’s Day just like any other day for me. But now I am blessed to have a FANTASTIC father-in-law who truly is a wonderful dad. He even embraced the fact that I am gluten free now & ALWAYS makes our meals at their house gluten free, even though I’m the only one-he even bakes me cookies! What a guy! He truly would do anything for us. :D
holly d. says

Happy Father’s Day Dad! (Paul)
My Dad lives far away in Arizona, but we keep in touch via email, texts and phone calls. I love him very much and miss having him live close by!
Happy Father’s Day Denny!
I couldn’t have asked for a better Father-in-law. He has welcomed me into the family and made me feel like I belonged since day one. I love him and wish he lived closer as well.
Kate Anderson says

Happy Father’s Day Dad!
Angel B. says
Happy Father’s day, Buddy! My dad is super at everything! We are especially enjoying his (and my mom’s) company and help on our big house building project. We could never thank him enough…maybe a grill and mower would be a good start.
Ave says
Happy Father’s Day Sam!
Beth says
Happy Father’s Day Poppy-o!
I love that my dad continues to correct me any time I choose “poppy-o” instead of “daddy-o”. He’s a great dad with a great sense of humor.
Meg says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD! Always encourages me to go after my goals and has 100% faith in me achieving them.

Happy Father’s Day Babe!
My love is such a great father. I’m planning a surprise dinner for 3 (mother, daughter, & father) on our deck. I plan to make fun foods and just enjoy the (hopefully sunny) day!
