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 Simon!! This is also your first Father’s Day and I couldn’t have asked for a better dad for our new baby girl. Can’t wait to celebrate many more of these kind of days together!
Angela says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JON! He’s my handsome hubby who is an amazing father to our three year old son, just tonight he was teaching him how to say “Daddy, you’re the man!” to which our son replied “No you’re Daddy” This year we bought our first home which was a 50 year old fixer upper and of course Jon has been busy busy slowly chipping away at our huge to do list. One of the major things that bothers him though is the yards which are way over grown because we have yet to purchase a lawn mower. It’s getting pretty bad out there, so I think this year we’ll splurge on a lawn mower for daddy, the man. Unless of course we win this one!!
Michelle says
Happy Fathers Day Brian…my wonderful husband is the greatest father and I’m soo lucky I married him!!

Happy Birthday, Pete!!! When I was growing up, my mother always used to say, “You’re just like your father!” like it was a bad thing! I always thought, “I wish!” I’m so grateful to have such an awesome role model (both parents, actually!). Here’s looking at you, Dad! =) Happy Father’s Day. =)
Amber says

My awesome husband and dad to our 2 girls is gone on military work-ups and will miss having Father’s Day here with the kids. (He will be leaving in July on a 9 month deployment, so we’d better get used to it). He is wonderful, kind, and great with our kids. We all miss him terribly!

Happy Father Day Steve!!
I love my Dad! He has taught me so much about building, fixing, and upkeeping of a house that I can do all my own repairs! Its a great feeling to be able to do what I need to do to fix the house up! From landscaping to bathroom remodel, to building a new deck!
Happy Fathers day to all the wonderful Fathers out there!
Katie G says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad(Rick)! I may be (almost) all grown now at 25, but I still have the same faith in him that I did when I was a little kid. My problems may have evolved from just a few scraped knees, but he’s still my go-to person for advice and comfort and that won’t ever change.
P.S. It’s a good thing my wonderful dad also happens to love my wonderful boyfriend, as he’d be the one getting the grill as a someday-but-it-better-not-be-anytime-soon-mister father’s day present :)
Naomi says

Happy Father’s Day Dad (Gary)!
Unfortunately my father and I are halfway around the world from each other this year on Father’s Day so we won’t be able to celebrate together. I will be in Italy and he will be in Puerto Vallarta! I will be missing him a lot. He was worried about me coming on this month long Europe trip alone and cried the last time I was home and when hugging me goodbye which is not a usual occurance! I can’t wait to see my over protective dad and my whole family the next time I am home in Northern CA!
osarah says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad, brother, fathers-in-law and brothers-in-law!
We can’t celebrate with my dad this year, but we are thrilled that my father-in-law is coming to visit with his wife, daughters and son. We are looking forward to our Sunday together, showing them around town and sharing a leisurely family day together.
Theresa S. says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Calvin Coolidge!” thank you for sound advice and fixing the car.
XOXO your number one daughter

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
Thanks for building every house our family’s ever lived in. You’ve inspired me (and helped me!) to reconstruct, refinish or refashion almost everything in my own home.

Meg says
Happy Father’s Day Shaun!!! My husband is so handy – we moved into our house two days before Christmas and had nothing but problems. Ended up tearing out entire walls due to finding mold and water damage (We’re DIYers!) and he taught himself how to drywall, has rebuilt built-ins, is replacing all doors and interior trim. Our house is looking great thanks to him!
katieQ says
Happy Father’s Day Joseph!
For Father’s Day I plan to bake a cake and a special picnic supper to share at sunset on the beach near our home.
Jessica says
Happy Father’s Day Kristjan! My husband has made a lot of sacrifices, from moving from his family in Iceland to be here with me, to missing his brothers’ weddings because flying our family of 4 to Iceland is so expensive. So I’ve written and illustrated a kids book about vikings that he can read to our daughters for some special daddy-daughter bonding time. And I’m sure the girls will just shower him with love that they do on a daily basis.
Amy says
Happy Father’s Day, Chris! Thank you for being a devoted, caring, and understanding father and husband. I don’t know where our lives would be without you.
Mariah says
Happy Father’s Day Scott and Daddy.
We’ll be at the beach with many dads — My parents, sisters, and all the spouses and kids. We’ll celebrate with a lovely breakfast. I am so fortunate to have an amazing husband who puts spending time with his kids at the top of his list. And my father is generous and funny and roll model for all my sons.
