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, Daddy!!
No matter how old I get, he’ll be “daddy” – the man that taught me to ride my first bike, danced with me as I stood on his feet, taught me to sing hymns at the top of my lungs, and made my husband jump through some serious hoops to get my hand in marriage. I love him more than words can say – truly – and would love to be able to really treat him to something special this year.
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day Jeff! This year you get to celebrate your birthday (the 15th) and father’s day separately, but both days we get to celebrate YOU, fabulous husband and father. I love you!
Megan M says
Happy Father’s Day, H!!! You are the best daddy our little Izze could ask for. She is the luckiest little {puppy} in the world because of you. Hopefully next year we can celebrate your great “daddiness” with a {real} baby in our home.

There is no one else in the world that I would rather sit up with until 4am talking about everything with…. And who else would let me call 5 times in an hour describing every strange noise my car makes!
Ashley B says
Happy Father’s Day Dan!!!
This is is my husband’s first Father’s day. Charlotte is just shy of 11 months old. He had always said he didn’t want children until he met me, then he said he wanted them IF i wanted them. Today he can’t imagine his life without Charlotte. Just 20 minutes ago they were sitting on the sofa laughing at each other, he was pretending to sneeze!
Congrats on little Clara and Happy FIRST Father’s Day John!
Christi says

Laura T. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BRENDAN!!
He is the best husband and dad! He works long hours every day at a job he isn’t thrilled about (he was laid off during the economy slump and took the next job available) so I can stay home with the kids. He attends every hockey game my son plays and listens to my daughter when she practices her piano and flute. He makes me laugh every day no matter what life throws our way.
Thank you Brendan! We love you so much!
Hannah says
Happy Father’s Day Mickey!
One of the things that I love about him is that even though I don’t get to see him all the time, whenever I do see him it’s like time hasn’t even passed. Looking forward to taking him to see the Atlanta Braves play on Sunday!!! :) :)
Cora says
Happy Father’s Day Tati (dad in Romanian)! I will always remember when you taught my how to ice skate, played tennis with me and taught me about the birds and the bees!
Aimee Jackson says
Every day I let my dad, Art know how special he is to me. Don’t need one day to show him.
He knows how to fix anything in my young house, which is just one of the things that makes him the best Dad ever.
kristiina says
Happy Father’s Day Dad and Joe! I’ll always remember the way my dad said, ‘Rats!’ instead of an actual curse word LOL. And I love the way my husband (joe) pushes my parenting comfort zone to get us to try new and fun things :)
Thanks for the chance!

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
Though, the mower may be a gift to my future husband (who will, after all, be a father to a dog after the wedding!). We really need one!
Jackie says
Happy Father’s Kyle! Great doggie dad.
Amber says
Happy Father’s day, Dad! (James & Burl).
I think I would have to split the gifts. My stepdad, Burl, has always loved to cook out. He is a man of many grilling things & would be pleased to own this.
My (other)dad, James, would love love love love to own the fiskars mower. Seriously! Growing up my dad always had a push mower because I was often lectured on how it cut the grass and did not tear it like those pesky riding mowers or electric/gas powered push mowers. Plus! The benefits of excersise. So what if it took two times over the same patch for the perfect cut? Not to mention! The green-ness! My dad is an avid recycler!
Oh! How I’d love to win for them.
P.S. I think we’ll spend the day catching up, exchanging gifts and memories & eating their food of choice.
<3Amber
