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

- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD AND GRANDPA!
My dad has been so awesome to me the past years of my life. Sacrificing so I could attend the best high schools/colleges in New York. He paused the goals in his life to allow me to achievement.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADDY & GRANDPA & BYRON! this father’s day, i am excited to add a new member to my fathers day list- my future (59 days!) father-in-law, byron. so excited to be surrounded by my lovely family and to be adding such a wonderful new side of the family. the only down side is trying to figure out how to split the time between the two fabulous families- luckily they like each other and understand. but its tough when you genuinely want to spend time with BOTH families!

Happy Father’s Day Dad! (Dan)
My most favorite memory of my dad, who I will be thinking about from afar since we live out of state, would be on Sat/Sun mornings he would blast his stereo with Van Morrison tunes through out the house and all I wanted to do was to sleep in on the weekends. Now, I wish that I could experience that first hand every weekend.
Lisa says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! We’ll be sitting poolside, soaking up the sun, relaxing and hopefully having lobsters!
Sarah G says
HaPpY fAtHeR’s DaY tReVoR!

You’re one of the few and the great!!
<3 U!
Happy Fathers Day! says
My husband Anthony and I have 4 children. There is nothing that he has not or will not do for them. He works harder than any man I know, even putting many of his own desires to rest just to provide us all with an amazing life and allowing me to stay home to raise our children.
Christina says
Happy Father’s Day Scott!

Happy Father’s Day Marshall! You have supported me and my dreams throughout my life, and most importantly, set a great example for when I become a father soon. Thanks Dad, hope you know that you’re loved not just this Sunday, but every day.

Happy Father’s Day Charles!

Thank you for being such a great dad and husband. And when our family needed it thanks for taking time off to be a stay at home dad!!! Happy father’s day to my dad and father in law too! We love you.

Happy Father’s Day Scott!

Happy Father’s Day dad!!! You’re the best in the world. You have been a wonderful father to all four of us girls and we are grateful that you have taught us to be independent and succeed in everything we do! Love you Daddy!
Colleen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TOM!
My dad is the greatest man I know. My mom died when my brother and I were little, and he became both parents. He is always right (even if sometimes I fight him until the end) and he is the most generous person I know.
Beth says
Happy Father’s Day Adam!! It’s his first Father’s Day too!! We actually JUST purchased the EXACT grill you’re giving away and we LOVE it. But, a second to give to a friend (or Father) wouldn’t be bad to have… We do have a large lawn and a shiny new riding mower, but I like the idea of the Fiskar’s to have on hand for ozone action days… Fingers crossed!
Beth says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! Thanks for all the excellent advice you give!
Jenny Stoudt says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY AARON!
Caitlen says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thank you for being the best running partner a girl could ask for!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Pops!
We actually celebrated last weekend, and my gift seems pretty lame now compared to my sisters, who told my parents that she was pregnant.
Elyse says
Happy Father’s Day Charles! Charles is my husband… and I thought this past Sunday was Father’s Day and I told him what a great dad he is and how happy I am that I have him around to help with our little one yr old (well actually he’s a pretty big one year old) and then it turned out it wasn’t father’s day after all, lol. I definitely meant everything I said though, regardless of what day it is.
Alicia says
Happy Fathers Day to my hubby, my dad and my father in-law!
Ali Moore says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad, father in law, brother and brother-in-law!
whitney says
HAPPY (future)FATHERS’ DAY Luke! We’ve only been married about a year and half now, and no kids planned anytime soon, but I know when the time comes my husband will be the most amazing dad ever. He’s my best friend and I can’t imagine becoming a parent with anyone else.

Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thanks for teaching me how to be a do-it-yourself kind of girl and how to lay sod practically before I even came out of the womb!
Angela says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad, Karl! Although he gives his opinion whether you want it or not, he’s still the best! Thank you for everything you’ve done!
Kelly says
Happy Father’s Day “Papa Mullen”! I love how you blush when I call you papa and only wear shorts or kilts, even when there is 2 feet of snow on the ground.
Alyssa Allen says
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad and to my husband, Chad. Couldn’t have asked for better men in my life!

Happy Father’s Day, Dad! My dad is just the best. Sometimes we dance in my parents’ kitchen together. Yes. I’m 25. Yes. We still dance in the kitchen.

Happy Father’s Day Dad (Mark). I plan on spending the whole day with my dad. Lunch, then maybe some swimming and lots of relaxing and reminiscing.

Happy Fathers Day Mike and all the other dads in our family including Joe,Mark,Mark,Paul,Brian, John, Bob,Bob,Jack,Mike, Dennis and Dave, Matt and Greg!!!! Wouldn’t it be something if we could all celebrate together. You’ve all left a big shoes for the next generation of dads to fill.

Marianne Werner says
Happy Father’s Day, favorite Father! From your favorite youngest daughter!
Ellen Sudano says
Happy Father’s Day Ty!!!!
My husband is the best! He works hard (with as much overtime as he possibly can) to make it possible for me to stay home with our three kids. I love being a Stay-at-Home Mom and he is the one who helped me realize my dream!
Verna Bishop says
Happy Father’s Day Scott.
Leslie says
Happy Father’s Day Dad (Mike)!
My dad has always been my number one fan since I started playing in bands. He tries to come to as many of my shows as he can and is constantly trying to find me the perfect “ax” (guitar). It’s very sweet and he’s so cool.
Lauri says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!!(Gary). Thanks for taking care of me and the boys.
Heidi says
Happy Fathers Day to my Dad and husband Greg!!!
I’ve always been Daddy’s little girl..so we’ll be spending the day with him on Saturday. On Sunday, my husband and I will be spending time with our daughter. Most likely..lounging on our new deck!
Karna says
Happy Father’s Dad, David. No one could be a better father to our four kids than you! And no one is a better husband to me, either! Love you forever.
Lindsay says
Happy birthday to my daddy (Stuart)! I love my daddy because we are so much alike. Despite disagreements when our personalities come in to play, it is nice to know that he understands all my quirks and facets because he has the same ones too! :) Love you daddy!
Cate says
Happy Father’s Day, Pops! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to install windows, take down walls, and even attempt soldering!
rebann says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! (aka Bill)
Where to begin on how wonderful my dad is … ? One of his greatest qualities is that not only did he teach a host of little leaguers (his kids — even us girls — included) how to catch, throw and bat and coached them to many a league championship, he also taught them the importance of team and good sportsmanship, something many of my friends from way-back-when still comment on today.
Elizabeth says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, ARIEL! (husband and father extraordinaire) My husband is just amazing. He is a writer, and chooses to stay home with our two year old daughter. He cuddles, reads to her, plays dress up, all the while remaining as handsome and manly as the day we met. I love him so much!
Margot says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
Less than a year ago, you showed your soft side at my wedding, and I’ll treasure that day forever :-)
Leigh Anne says
Happy Father’s Day to my wonderful husband Derrick! Even though we don’t have any children yet, he’s a great dad to our furry babies, Little Whiskers and Buddy! I see some custom pet art in his future…(hopefully he doesn’t read this!)
