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

I remember being very young and having conversations with my dad about budgeting and smart money and business practices. And loving it. I am my father’s daughter – entrepreneur and total tight-wad, ahem, frugal master. Thanks, Dad, for teaching me these most important life lessons.
caitlin says
Happy Father’s Day, Kevin!!!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD! My Dad taught me the fine arts of lawn mowing & grilling, so both of these prizes would go to good use in our home. :)

Happy Father’s Day, Karl and Dad!
This is my husband Karl’s first Father’s Day – our son is 8 months old – and it has been so amazing to watch him in this new role as a daddy. I love how he loves our baby!
For my dad, it’s his first Father’s Day as a grandpa, and his first without my mom, who passed away 3 weeks before my son was born. I am so proud of his strength, and just adore how thrilled he is to be a grandpa.
kari says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
I was raised by my step father and always feel so amazingly lucky by that fact. He didn’t have to be my Dad, but he choose to be. He’s always there when I need him and I know I can count on him for anything.
Raye says
Happy Father’s Day to all the great dads in my life!!!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, JORGE!
This is for my husband, who agreed to us taking in my younger brother (16yrs old). He is now his suedo-father, and I am very grateful for all that he has done for him.

Arlee says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, SAM!!!
We’re expecting our first baby in December, so this is the first Father’s Day that my husband gets to claim as his own. Surreal! I’m getting him Star Wars pancake molds for a Father’s Day brunch like no other!
Katelyn says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY WAYNE and ANDREW!! (my father in law and husband/a soon to be father in < 2 months) My father in law is such a loving, caring, giving person. And my husband is such a loving supportive spouse. He's going to make a wonderful father very soon.
I wish my own father was still living. We lost him almost 5 years ago to cancer. He was the all around fix-it man and loved to make beautiful furniture in his spare time. (Sadly, his birthday falls on Father's Day every couple years and compounds the loss.)
kelly says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY JOEY!!!! We plan to let Dad sleep in, watch World Cup & relax with his 2 babies at home all day.
Matthew Flook says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY RANDY!
My dad taught me how to properly start a charcoal grill way back when (let the lighter fluid soak in first!) and now I’m ready to serve him some freshly-grilled goods this summer in the back yard of my new home.
Monica says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!! Thanks for teaching me how to fish, how to tie knots, how to shoot clay pigeons, how to pick mushrooms, how to throw a skipping rock and many many more things. Your kindness to others and love of teaching was passed down to me and I am so thankful.
Lucy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY EDDIE!
I’ve always loved my dad’s silly sense of humor–his bedtime stories were always hilarious.

Katherine says
Happy Father’s Day:
to the grillin-est, #1 lawn caretaker and dish-washer I know, Jim (Dad)!
Kate says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
I know almost everyone thinks their dad is the best, but I promise, my dad is THE BEST :) He has been such a great example of how to treat others and has taught me how to handle all types of situations. Every few weeks I usually come up with something I need his advice on (how to take care of ___ in our house, is this type of insurance necessary, will you proofread this letter to our homeowner’s association, and the list goes on and on). Sometimes I have to make a point to ask him when I’m not around my husband because my husband gets irritated by my wanting his advice. But, I can’t help it, the man knows his stuff! He is one of the kindest men I have ever met. Whenever I run into someone who knows my dad, they always tell me how nice he is. My dad never “wants” anything, but I know he would be ecstatic to receive the mower and grille.
joey says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ME! I plan to play golf and watch soccer all day then dinner with the family!
Jaime says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Jason! My husband is the best. I can’t wait to celebrate our love and appreciation to him this weekend. He’s a HUGE Cubs fan….shhh, don’t tell him, but I am planning a weekend trip to see his guys play ball :)
Jennifer says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad!
We are grilling and having a pool party to celebrate the day.
Jeanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, ALLEN! Father of my 4 children and fearless leader of our home. We were watching home videos last weekend & in it he had one of our sons climbing a tree to trim branches with a handsaw. Our son asked, “why did we never have a chainsaw?” “Oh chainsaws are too dangerous” my hubby says as we watch the video of our son 30 feet in the air with a handsaw. Haha!
Katie says
Happy fathers day greg! I love my dads sense of humor – no one else is like him!

You always chose the cheap way for yourself, so that we would always have the best. Sarah, Laura and I will always be grateful.
Martha says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAN!
My dad died when I was 22, so for me Father’s Day is all about my husband’s father Dan. Dan is the kindest most caring parent a person could ever wish for. I feel incredibly lucky to be his daughter-in-law. I have to work this weekend, but I’ll be thinking of him!

Happy Father’s Day to my dad, John, who taught me that I can do anything I dream as long as I work hard!! I love that my dad and I share similar characteristics such as loving loud music, the smell of a barbecue, driving with the windows down, and beach days!
