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, Dave! Growing up, my entire family and I would take my grandpa camping for Father’s Day. Although my grandpa has since passed away, we still try to go camping to keep the memories alive!
Deb says
I wish my Bub were here so that I could say Happy Fathers Day to him. I grew up without a father but I had my maternal grandfather …..I called him Bub. I spent the first months of my life being cared for by him while he ran a full service gas station. He fed, changed me and rocked me to sleep right there. My Bub made me feel like I was the light in his life and I felt like he was the light in my life. I miss my Bub everyday. I have never missed not having a Dad because I had my Bub.
Jen says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thanks to your connections our kitchen remodel is moving right along!
Alanna says
Happy Father’s Day, Mom! Ok, so I know my mom gets Mother’s Day for herself, but because my father passed away when I was little, my mom has had to play both the role of mom and dad for myself and my four siblings. In the past few years, my siblings and I have decided that Father’s Day is a celebration of her as well and sent Father’s Day cards and special treats for her on this important day.

Happy Fathers Day, Dad and Aaron!
My dad is a musician and as I progressed in my own music studies, we made lots of great memories in the living room as he played the trumpet and I accompanied on the piano. Now that I’m grown up, married and a homeowner, Dad enthusiastically pitches in to help around my new house – he’s driven the 7 hours to my new town many times to help hang curtains, install heating vents, paint (oh my gosh … it took 3 tries to find the right green for my bedroom! he is a saint!), and help me tile the kitchen floor while my hubby works his little booty off at school.
My husband Aaron isn’t a dad yet, but he knows my full-blown “baby fever” has become an epidemic, something like “baby H1N1” and he does a good job of loving me when yet ANOTHER friend announces a pregnancy. He reminds me that waiting now means I will be happier with our life when we do welcome a child and tells me he knows we’ll be a great team when we have kids. I know he doesn’t really understand why I feel like this, but he is a loving man who takes the time to reassure me and encourage me … I know he’ll be such a great dad someday!

Happy Father’s Day, Al (my dad)! He taught me how to play catch and some days I thought I might injure him with my throws but he never once complained. For this reason, I am a big Cubs fan and look fondly of those memories.
