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

HAPPY FATHERS DAY, ANDY!!!!
My husband is the greatest father our six kids could have! He loves to have fun with them and is really good at teaching them practical things too. I am so blessed to be his partner in this adventure of parenthood!
elvira says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Pops! My father has many many home improvement skills and could use just about any of these giveaways, however, his gardening skills are legendary. It is always so unexpected and it blows me away every time!
Julia says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
One of the best things about getting older was finally “getting” and enjoying some of the stuff my dad likes to do like watching hockey and drinking beer. It also has been awesome to see his face light up when he gets to spend time with my husband, giving my dad some “man” time after having to live in a house with all women for years.
conny says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! Thanks for being there for me when I needed it most.
Lauren says
Happy 1st Father’s Day, Chris!
Lynne says
Happy Father’s Day Trent! Thank you so much for taking the kids to the dentist, so I don’t have to face my own fears of the dentist. You are the best!
Valerie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!!!!!
My father has helped me pack, move, unpack, hang pictures/shelves/clocks to make the place feel like home….then pack, cover the holes and marks made by aforementioned pictures/shelves/clocks, move, and start all over more times than I care to count! He has never once complained, even in the hairest and most stressful moments! He is my construction go-to person, having taught himself how to repair just about anything that could go wrong in a house. No one deserves this more than him!!
Katie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Daddy and Bub!
My love language is acts of service. Over the years, Daddy’s always found a way show his love in that way, no matter how out of place he felt. Forgotten pantyhose before prom? He’s dispatched and not wanting to screw it up, comes home with six different pairs, including several for different ethnicities! Missing wedding supplies the night before my big day? Bless that man’s heart: he went dumpster diving. For all the repaired toys, cars, and broken hearts–love you, Daddy.
And as of two years ago, a new father in my life: my husband’s dad, “Bub.” A true American cowboy, with the boots, hat, and quick arm with a calf rope. We don’t talk often, but last summer after a misunderstanding, he personally called me to apologize on behalf of the family and let me know how much I mattered to him. I was floored by this amazing patriarch. His smile and mischievous sense of humor have been passed down to the man I’m blessed to call the father of my own future children. Love ya, Bub.

Happy Father’s day Adam! (he’ll be a dad someday!)

Thank you for putting together all of my IKEA furniture!
Megan says
Happy Father’s Day Alex! My husband, best friend, and father our 3 most wonderful little boys! All 3 of them have taken after him in the looks department so I’m a pretty lucky lady to be living with the 4 best looking guys around! He would love a new grill, especially since ours died a year ago and we haven’t been able to purchase a new one just yet!
Claudie says
Happy Father’s Day Daddy!
He’s always smiling and willing to give a hand to anyone who needs it (including me, like when I was trying to install some flooring in our new house, lol).
allison says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!
He raised a little boy and a little girl on his own with no help from anyone…the stories I could tell! He’s pretty awesome and definately deserves a happy fathers day!
Amanda says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DADDY!
I’m definitely “daddy’s little girl”! After my dad had a heart attack, he got serious about getting healthy. I was able to spend lots of time with him as we worked up to 6-mile walks (his first “walk” was from the front door to the mailbox…after open heart surgery, it was a huge undertaking for him!). He would tell me all about how the corn fields grew, the different flowers we saw, and all kinds of flora and fauna related things. Today, my dad is my go-to-guy. If I don’t have an answer, I know my dad will have some words of wisdom to guide me.
denise f in c'ville, va says
Happy Father’s Day, Bob! My dad is a retired railroad engineer who worked very hard to raise a family and love his wife. The older I get, the more I appreciate what that entails.
megan says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Daddy and Papa!” The 2 most handy people I know!
Aimee says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!
I truly could not ask for a better father. I am so blessed!
Eric says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! For the eco-friendly dad’s in my life who never ask for anything!
Caity says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! My dad is one of the most generous people I have ever met. This used to bug me as a kid (mostly because I thought he probably could have bought me a toy instead of giving money to someone who really needed it), but now I’ve matured (thankfully!) and realize what a difference he has made in so many peoples’ lives because of his willingness to give.
mel says
happy father’s day, bob – my husband and best friend! thanks for always letting me sleep in an extra 15 minutes while you feed quinn, and for taking sam out to play in the sprinklers when i don’t want to stand outside in the heat and humidity. i hope our boys grow up to be just like you.
Robyn in Chicago says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY D!
My dad is quirky and really funny – somtimes without intending to be. He likes Snoop Dogg…as an actor (I’m serious) when he finds something he likes (shirt, shoes, pants) he buys one in every color. If something is on sale, he’ll buy 4 or 5 of them to stock up. He builds computers for a hobby and is an electrical enginner – so can fix most anything. He also is a HAMM Radio Operator. What is that you ask? He has his Ameteur Radio Operator’s license. We have crazy antenae’s all over the roof of the house I grew up in. He also gets more sentimental as the years go by. It’s very sweet. Wow. I didn’t even intend to write that much…I just kept typing and typing….
styleezta says
Happy Father’s Day, Pops!! You raised me to be strong, beautiful and happy!
Kevin Bower says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad!
Thanks for all the help on the house, couldn’t do it without you.
Gretchen says
HAPPY FATHER’s DAY DAD!
My dad has passed away, but this giveaway reminded me of a father’s day gift I made my dad when I was younger. I painted and shelacked a flower pot for him and put a bag of homemade oatmeal cookies, his favorite, inside. I guess I was a bit too excited to wait to put it all together and the cookies ended up infused with the flavor of the shelack. Yum. Let’s just say he was a little surprised, but he was sweet about it.
Jaimee says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, BILL AND JASON!
Bill is the amazing stepdad who showed by example what a wonderful guy is like. Jason is my beloved husband who will hopefully set that same example for our baby girl, Lily.
Melly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

Happy Father’s Day George!
Helps me refinish tables, restore antique chandeliers, makes my sister and i custom shelving, move my stuff across the country…. always a giver, the most selfless person I know. I aspire to be like him.
Kristen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JEFF!!!
Meghan says
Happy Father’s Day Dad, Mark, Brady and Brian!!!
Kathryn D says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! My Dad makes me proud because he’s been so patient with teaching my husband how to do things around our home. It’s so sweet and kind of him to help in the first place but he goes beyond that. Instead of just quickly doing the repairs, which would be much much faster, he takes the time to explain, show, and allow my husband to have his own home repair successes. What a guy! xo
Stephanie says
Happy Father’s Day David!
Well, I guess I should say Father-to-be, David, as my partner is eagerly awaiting being a first time dad, with me 6 1/2 months pregnant. We can’t wait to be parents, and I can’t wait to see him interact and bond and teach our newest family member : he is going to be an amazing dad, and I would love for him to win these prizes.
Janna says
Happy Father’s Day Eric – an amazing husband, father and most recently, a do-it-yourself-er.

Happy Father’s Day, Greg! This is my husbands first father’s day EVER! I’ve loved watching him this past year playing with and caring for his son and I’m looking forward to celebrating this Sunday and many, many more!
Valerie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
My dad is always there to help me out. I can always ask him for advice, especially when it comes to home ownership. He’s the best!
Carolyn says
Happy Father’s Day Bryan, even though you totally skipped over Mother’s Day. (I’m not bitter) You are the best Dad to our boys!
susan says
Happy Father’s Day JONATHAN!!!
This one’s for my hubby. He’s a wonderful daddy to our three (almost four) children, despite having to grow up without a daddy of his own. He’s loving, funny, super smart, he challenges us all in the best of ways, and on top of that, he’s handsome to boot (lucky me!).
We’ve just moved into a new home and those big prizes would be totally perfect!!! I’m saying my prayers for this one!
Thank you!
Jackie says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! To the guy who played guitar until 1am and let us stay up late at campouts, and who’s sacrificed so much for his children.
Bethany says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Jeremy! I hope you have a fantastic Father’s Day! I love that you’re a great father to our three little puppies, and I can’t until you’re a father to our future baby!
Katie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY REGAN AND JEFF! (my dad and father-in-law)
You are both wonderful fathers for dropping everything to help us fix up our home! We were dreamers that thought we could buy a “fixer-upper” and you two are truly the brains and muscle behind each of our projects! Thanks for always being there for us :)
Britta says
Happy Fathers Day, Dan!
To my husband, with much love. Little E is so lucky to have you as her daddy!
Katy says
Happy Father’s Day Dad and Jim!
My husband’s dad is Jim, and my dad is Dad in this little comment. Both of them have taught us so much collectively about how to live life and live it well. Thanks to all the dads out there!
Lindsay Butler says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY.
I have two wonderful fathers (mine and my FIL)…but being 5 months pregnant with our first, All i can seem to think about is my husband, and the fact that he will be no doubt be the most amazing father.
I get weepy just picturing him holding our son for the first time.
I love you Scott, and even though you wont be holding our baby yet, you are still a “father” in my eyes!
Lo says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD! WOOHOO!!!!!
Leslie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
I love you for teaching me how to make French toast before I could even reach the stovetop. I enjoy cooking because of you and I’ll never stop loving you for that.
kristin says
Happy Father’s Day Pops!
My dad drove 1800 miles last month to donate all of his yard tools and landscaping expertise toward a backyard transformation in the 80 year-old house my fiance and I are renovating. We all worked for 4 solid days in the Texas heat and made a spectacular backyard reno… thanks, dad!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Chris and Dad!
My husband is an inspiration…he’s taken on his health and diabetes and has recently lost over 50 lbs. and looks great. He’s inspired me to do the same.
My Dad is the hardest working man around. He’ll do anything and everything to provide for his family and my mom. Not to mention he’s the best grandpa around!
Sure do love both of them
