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 MIKE, DAD, CHRIS, AND HILEY!
I have a wonderful husband, who is 4 weeks from starting the role as a father. I have a loving father who I don’t get to see enough, but who I love more than he knows. I have a wonderful step-father who sacrifices SO much for his family…never complaining along the way. And I have an amazing father-in-law who I love like my own dad. He’s gone through more than most men should ever have to.
I love all of you amazing men and fathers!

Andria says
Happy Father’s Day Poopsie!
My dad would kill me for using my nickname for him above! I’m mostly just grateful for the time he spends with me and my husband. And for putting up with my dogs when I bring them to his house.
chelsea says
Happy Father’s Day Ted! My husband works his butt off for his family of 4 kids and wife and sheepdog. He has to spend this particular father’s day burying his grandfather, who left us at the age of 96. A WW2 vet, a mason, an engineer, and a father of 3 himself, we honor Grandpa Tandy from 3 generations down.
Krista says
Happy Father’s Day Joe!
My husband of 12 years is a wonderful father…we had two babies in 10 months ( one was 2 months early) and he has always stepped up, never complained and still has the coffee ready in the morning five years into having our beautiful daughters..He has an old webber and a gas grill would be the perfect gift!
Marisa says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thanks for letting us live with you while the house is being built and we need a place to stay. You always support us!
Happy Father’s Day Anthony! So maybe right now you are only a father to our dog but hopefully in the future you will be a father to some kids of ours. I already know you will be an amazing dad!
Maggie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Dad!
One of my best memories of growing up with Dad is how much fun it always was for me to shadow him in his basement workshop as a kid. The smell of sawdust, the tunes in the background, the endless talks about caring for tools to make them last for 30 years. I used to take his wood scraps and make what I considered artsy wood sculptures with the hot glue gun while he crafted beautiful custom cabinetry for the kitchen or a rack for his fishing rods. He always made me feel like a worthy apprentice and now that I’m taking on my own renovation project, I’m transported to those evenings in the ‘shop’ every weekend as we work our way through the new house.
xoxo, Pops!
Jen says

Gaby says
Happy Father’s Day, Jordan!
My wonderful husband has been so supportive of me during this pregnancy, and he may well end up celebrating by becoming a dad on this day! He’s going to be the best, and I’m so lucky to have him as my partner, and our soon-to-be-here son is lucky to have him as his dad.
Denise says

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DADDYO! My dad’s birthday and father’s day always coincide very nicely so I always get to celebrate him twice as much, which is very fitting because the guy deserves it!

Brittany Hamman says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Daniel!”
He is the best father and husband and father in the world, because i just went out of town for a four day weekend and he stayed home and took care of our one year old son the whole time! Not a little feat! He came away saying he loves our little one even more after being with him 24/7!
AJ says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! Since I bought my house in July 2007, we have become a fearsome twosome at home repair and remodeling. From electrical work, to putting down laminate floor, and building soffits he is my teacher and my team mate.
Thank you!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY !!
This would be a wonderful gift to give my husband for father’s Day. We have four sons , ages range from 13-25. My husband enjoys DIY projects and enjoys showing our sons how to care for our home. He wants them to appreciate that basic maintenance really pays off in protecting our most expensive investment.
mommara says
Happy Fathers Day Daddy! This is my hubby’s second and a new grill he would love!

Happy Father’s Day, Nathan!
