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! One thing I appreciate most about my dad is that he gives great advice but always encourages me to make my own decision in the end.
Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity guys!
Nicola says

Happy Father’s Day, Tyler!
You’ve been an awesome husband since day one, and you’re already an awesome dad, even if baby won’t be here until November. I am so excited to be on this journey with you!
LaNell says
Happy Father’s Day Doug! My husband knows how to cook three things: scrambled eggs, hot dogs, and grilled burgers. Our kids can’t eat any of them without thinking of their dad. Great memories might be made better with Lowe’s sweet grill.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad! You are my role model!

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!”

Happy Father’s Day, Bill! We will be celebrating Father’s Day and my dad’s 60th birthday this year! Super fun BBQ and family.
Mandy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD (or “Jim” to some)!
My father has taught me so many things and been an inspiration in so many ways. A shining example is how he bravely faced a (rare at the time) lung disease and subsequent transplant with courage that Alexander the Great would envy. He was able to help the rest of us face his illness with bravery and humor by following his example. He’s three years out from his transplant now and has taken every bump in the road in stride. My dad is still a superhero in my eyes (along with the donor, and donor’s family, who saved his life — Donate Life!).
Kathy says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, MIKE!” My husband has always been a great dad to our daughter, Kimberly. She’s now married but they continue to have a very special relationship. One of my favorite memories is a game of “Pretty, Pretty Princess.” Mike lost so he wore all the jewelry and the beautiful crown. I have pictures to prove it. I’m sure he’ll be just as great a “PawPaw” as he is a dad. :)
Chandeen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!!
When I was eight I made my father a hug credit card (for free hugs) he kept it for fifteen years and would pull it out when I was difficult. I will always treasure how he kept that little card I made for him.
Gretchen says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!
My father is an amazing man. He is always there for me when I need him, especially lately when I have all kinds of home improvement questions for him. For father’s day, I’m going to invite him over to our new house and not make him do any work!

My dad is awesome- being married to the military, I’ve moved 4 times in the last 2 years (and we’re moving again next month!) My dad has helped us move… EVERY time. We haven’t been able to visit our family in a while, and we’re finally going to be able to visit them this weekend, on Father’s Day. We plan on thanking my dad for everything he’s done in person, which will be awesome :)

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Sam!!
He is the best father to our girls and would do anything for them…he works a second job at nights after the girls go to bed and always thinks of his family’s needs above his own.

Katie says
Happy Father’s Day Daddy and Brian!
To the two best men in my life – my dad and my husband, who’s a new father. My dad is a wonderful constant in my life, always unchanging and solid, genuine and incredibly loving – no matter what – and I put him through a lot!
My husband Brian is a new daddy to our daughter Adelaide, who is almost five months old. He’s really changed over the past several months and has become the kind of dad I always hoped he’d be.
These men both put their wives and children before themselves in everything they do and are, so I’m wishing them both a wonderful Father’s Day. :)
Robin Grey says
