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, Jose and Anthony!
Jose is my step dad and I love how he makes my mom so happy and not lonely anymore. Anthony is my father in law and he is SO much like my husband, so I love him for making my husband the man he is today.

Happy Father’s Day Dad, and Steve (Husband).
This is my 3rd Father’s day without my dear dad…and it just doesn’t get any easier. Dad taught me everything, and how to do anything. (I was the “go to girl” in college)
Steve is and has been the best dad to our 4 kids who are now taking off in their own families. He loves to grill anything… and he’d love the grill and I’d love the mower!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Mike (my dad) and Kenny (hubs dad)!
They are both awesome, would do anything for us, and have really helped us out in more ways than we can count. We plan on spending Father’s day with both our families, hanging out at his dad’s house swimming in the pool and cooking out on the grill. Can’t wait!
Gail says
Happy Father’s Day, Pop.
From teeth knocked out in bike accidents. . . to appendicitis attacks my first year in college . . . to walking me up the aisle (and telling me you saw my husband-to-be hitchhiking outside of the church!) . . .to bringing your first granddaughter a giant stuffed pink poodle when she was hours old . . .to teaching me to always be positive by being that yourself, you’re always there. I love you and appreciate all you’ve done.
Ruth Bernstein says
Happy Father’s Day Paul!

The best things my dad every taught me was a great work ethic. Now that I’m in the “real world” I can definitely see why he constantly strived for my brother and I to excel and do jobs right!

Happy Father’s Day Dad!!!
James Barber says
Happy Father’s Day to my father Dennis Barber, and David Sherry Sr.
My childhood friend’s father, David Sr., was a strong respectable man that I looked up to when growing up. My real father, Dennis Barber, was a great man but died when I was only 5 years old from cancer.
Over the last two decades, I have become the man I am today with the memories I have of my real dad, and the lessons I learned from Dave.
Happy Fathers Day to both of you. I love you both very much.
Liz Smith says

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD! I love that you like to talk to my husband on the phone.
Kim says
Happy Father’s Day, Zach!
We’ll celebrate by making him breakfast and giving him his Father’s Day journal. I started it when my oldest was 2 and every year all my kids write something in it for my hubby. This way he’ll have all his “Father’s Day Cards” forever in one spot.
jesse says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad Rick and my father-in-law Bill.
Both men have been happy to help with ALL our home renovations, and it doesn’t hurt that my dad is a mechanical engineer and my f-i-l is an architect!
Taylor Jo says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY GREG (my dad)
My dad knows how to make me laugh when I’ve had a bad day. He dances just to embarrass my little sister, and I help and provoke it. He is absolutely amazing. Love ya Dad!
effika says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, JOHN!
You are always able to fix electronics, and sometimes able to fix plumbing problems. :-)

Happy father’s day, dad!!!

Happy Fathers Day Dad (Jim)!! he has been an amazing dad to four very demanding girls and very much deserves a special day.
Heather says
Happy Father’s Day, John, John, and Jim! (my Dad, my father-in-law, my husband)
My Dad is wonderful… to put it succinctly, I’ve never doubted that I am loved. My father-in-law is great too… a great dad to my husband and he welcomed me right into the family 10 years ago. And my husband deserves a gold star for the job he does with our 15 months old son, taking on a huge part of the child-rearing, and even more so since I was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago!
Max says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JOSEPH!

I love my strong, intelligent, witty, caring and faithfilled father!
danae says
Happy Father’s Day Daddy!
He was the #1 man in my life until I married my wonderful husband 8 months ago. Even though he now is the #2 guy in my life he will always be the man who taught me how to love and what a real man & father looks like.
oh, and happy future fathers day to my hubby Matt! :)
