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 Father’s Day Gary!!
With our first baby due in 63 days (woo-hoo!) I know he’s going to be a great daddy (especially if the way he babies our three little dogs is any indication of what a softie he will be with our little girl!)
D says
Happy Father’s Day to all the good Father’s I know!
When I was young my Daddy’s job had him traveling and he didn’t like it (being away from us). One day a truck pulled out in front of him with a bumper sticker saying “Have you hugged your kids today”. He called my mom and told her we’d have to make it on less money cause he was coming home to be with us!

Karen says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! I love it that you could fix or make anything that needed to be done around the house. Even if you never finished a project, you have given me the confidence to say, “I can do that!” (I have a problem with finishing, too.)
Katie says
Happy Father’s day John!
If i had these, I could mow, so he wouldn’t be ashamed and then throw him a big BBQ!
KatyKey says
Happy Father’s Day Key. I love my dad because he thought that last Sunday was Father’s Day and you waited until 2:30 on Monday afternoon to inform me and my brother that he had a nice Father’s Day without us. I guess a grill would make THIS Sunday even better.
Sheri Fuhrman says
Happy Father’s Day Jim! Oh my – we could totally use both of those awesome prizes! They are on our “wish list” but sadly, not in the budget. ;( I love my husband so much I would actually mow the lawn with that mower and even grill out our dinners! The gift that keeps on giving!! LOL
Jackie says
Happy Father’s Day Mike!!! You are the greatest “DIY” guy that I know and I am so thankful for all the ways you have made this new house our “home”.

Shruti says
Happy Father’s Day, Brad!Thanks for being the best dad and always giving us treats. Love Zeppelin and Ringo
Brianne says
Happy Father’s Day, Jeff! Since this is the first year without my father, I’ll be lighting at candle at church in remembrance of him. Ironically, this post may win me some very nice versions of what he used most around our house. He used a beat up push mower for the lawn, and some burnt out piece of junk for a grill. I mean, seriously. It was actually falling apart. And when it did finally see it’s demise, he “upgraded” to what seemed to be a Bunsen Burner! :) But I tell you what, I’ve never had grilled chicken like my dad made it. Love you, Dad!
Crystal F. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!!
My Dad is the best because he’s always worked hard to provide for his family. He’s also my pastor, and he’s a kind man, one who’s always there for others!
Natalie says
Happy Father’s Day Papa!!
At age 65 after having a full knee replacment surgery my dad remodeled my condo. He did everything from scrapping ceilings, to hiding surround sound speaker wire in the baseboards, to adding additional storage in the closet. I’m so lucky to have him!!!!
Aubry says
Happy Father’s Day Ron!
My dad is an amazing person, he has always accepted me for who I am and nothing more. He’s always been and always will be an inspiration to me!
Leah says
Happy Father’s Day Randy!

Happy Father’s Day to my brother who just became a dad! So excited to meet my little niece!
Abby B. says
Happy Father’s Day Dixon!
My father works in the pool, gunite business. (Sidenote: gunite is the “cement” that fills a pool) I remember when I was in Kindergarten and for an assignment, I had to find out what my daddy did. When I asked my dad what he did for a living his reply was, “Just tell them I’m a grease monkey.” I thought he was serious, so the next day I announced that my daddy was a grease monkey. It’s become a running joke in the family now, over 25 years later.
Kristy C. says
Happy Birthday, Lloyd!
my dad is awesome, he got me comfortable using power tools and knowing that i could build anything. go dad!
jennifer says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY GREG!
My dad was never around – a sad kind of story I saw all the time growing up…my husband is the kind of wonderful father that erases that and makes me believe there are still plenty of great guys left. He is sweet, understanding and such a positive role model to our son. Nobody could be a better dad than he is.
vegas710 says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, JEDD (my husband) He’s wonderful in so many ways! He’s a great father for my girls.
Kimberj says
Happy Father’s Day Mark!!! My husband has always made our two kids his main priority! He’s passed up promotions and moves that would’ve required more time than he was willing to give up. We have two wonderful well adjusted happy successful adult children. Thanks Honey, I love you today and forever :) <3

Happy Father’s Day Adam
Hannah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
We’ll be celebrating with the traditional batch of Dad’s favorite chocolate chip cookies – fresh from the oven, of course! He even used to sing the chocolate chip cookie song to me when I was little…
chocolate chip cookies
you gotta make more
you can bake ’em in the oven
or buy ’em at the store
but whatever you do
I’ll be waiting by the door
and I’ll love you forever more
boom boom boom boom!
Caitlin says
Happy Father’s Day Daddy! I love the time I get to spend with my dad – whether it’s in church, the car, or BJ’s we always share a good time together.
