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 Fathers Day Honey!!!
I am pregnant, and due in August (on the 8 week count down now!) and this is my husband’s first Fathers Day..nevermind he isn’t a father, TECHNICALLY, but it has been amazing to see the transformation from guy to dad over the last several months. We are so excited to meet our little girl, and my husband is getting prepared for what comes with the territory of having a little girl around! I love him for it!
Sara says
Happy Father’s Day dad! (I just can’t bring myself to use his first name, it sounds so weird to me!!!). For father’s day this year my dad is coming to visit my husband and I in Colorado to see all the progress we’ve been making on our new home so we are going to take him on his very first white water rafting trip as his gift when he is here! Can’t wait!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY EDDIE!
My husband just got back from Iraq, and even though we’re not parents of any real people yet, we have two great furry children, one of whom is a puppy who we picked up on his way home. He’s a great dad to our two pups, and I know he’ll be a great dad to our future children. We just bought a new house and don’t have a grill or a lawn mower yet, so this giveaway would be perfect for us!
kandace says
Happy Father’s Day Dads, Steve and Russell!

Liz says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JIM!
Except I just call him Dad. :) He’s the best–no, really. He loves being a dad. He wanted to read books to me as long as I wanted him to, including the year before I went to middle school. He has incredible patience (as long as you don’t interrupt him while he’s talking–hoo boy!). He is SWEET, so sweet. Even on an hour of sleep, he’s sweet. It’s mind-boggling. He will always do the right thing. He is understanding and forgiving. He is very smart. He was willing to go out and buy pads and tampons for me when I was too shy to buy them for myself. He leads by example. He created my concept of what it means to be a good man, and it’s a tall order. He’s quiet and reserved but very, very funny.
And he can find you quality coffee and ice cream in any place, within 30 minutes. Really. And he has the numbers to all three local frozen custard places memorized.
Stacy W says
Happy Father’s Day Chuck! I plan to bake some goodies for my dad and package them in a pretty jar with a sappy note :)

Happy Father’s Day Dad!
Rochelle says
Happy Father’s Day Nick (hubby), Jim (Dad), Scott (FIL)! Nick, you’re the greatest father our children could ever dream of!
It is too funny, we are planning on buying this exact mower next week when my paycheck comes in! This would be perfect!
Happy 1 month of being parents you two! Father is the greatest title you could be every given!
Lora says
Happy Father’s Day Mike, my amazing husband. He is giving up his Father’s Day weekend so I can head to Vegas with my girlfriends for a sanity-restoring period, which I sorely need as a SAHM to two adorable little energy makers.
Great giveaway!
Lauren McCormick says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad and my FIL Pete! They’re both great guys! I thought I was going to be bawling my eyes out walking down the aisle with my dad during my wedding, but instead my shoes got stuck in my dress AND the aisle runner and it was comic relief for both of us. Saved the day! LOL
Lisa says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Michael! We will be running a 5K Saturday, just as we did for mother’s day. This time, he’s pushing the stroller.
april says
Happy Father’s Day T.A.!
I think I felt most loved by my Dad when we walked me down the aisle on my wedding day. He knew it would cause many problems in his own marriage, but he was there for me anyway.
Vanessa Harper says
Happy Father’s Dad Dennis! My husbands first fathers day of two! We love him for everything he does for our family and for being my personal handyman always ready to take on a new project!
