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!

Jenny says
Happy Father’s Day, Jeremy!
After long days at “the office” you always come home with a smile on your face and hugs for all of us. You are the greatest husband/daddy our family could ever ask for. :)

Happy Father’s Day, Evan!
Thanks for making my morning by changing Connor’s diaper and letting me sleep! You don’t know how much that extra 10 minutes means to an overtired mama!

Happy father’s day Dad, Grandpa, Joe and Chris!
My husband and I have been married for almost 2 years now, but I am always thankful for how well our families have meshed. Instead of having 2 father-figures in our lives now, we both have 4 great guys we can go to for anything. Best dads ever!
Sue says
Happy Father’s Day Pablo!
My husband is the best daddy to our little girls (ages 5 and 2) because he is always there to make them laugh and have fun with them! We’re in the process of selling our townhouse and he has been so great at entertaining them and making the idea of a new house “fun” instead of “scary” – plus he keeps them occupied so I can stage our townhouse! We have no outdoor space and when we get a new home (hopefully soon – wish us luck!) he’s really going to need a grill and a mower!!!!
Hannah says
Happy Father’s Day Jim!!!
I have always been a Daddy’s Girl. I grew up watching football on the couch next to my dad every Sunday afternoon. We still watch football together on the weekends in the fall. It’s something we’ve always bonded over. Father’s Day has always been special for me because my dad is so very special to me.
Jen says
Happy Father’s Day to my amazing Dad. He’s been helping me so much with my new home…from moving all of my furniture to hanging pictures.
Katherine says
Happy Father’s Day Bryan, John and Dave! My husband, dad and father-in-law are all wonderful role models and amazing dads!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TIM!
My dad has always been the perfect dad. I realize as I get older how much I really have learned from him. I couldn’t ask for anything more!
Kim says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad (Jon)! I am 100% a daddy’s girl – grew up with 3 brothers, yet I’m the one that goes fishing and to Red Sox games with him. I’m planning on getting him a big planter with gorgeous flowers in it to put on his new patio!
Mackie says
Happy Father’s Day Floyd!
27 years in the USMC & you did a great job of raising us to be well-rounded kids! You deserve this & so much more.
Jenny says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY, JIMBO! As my husband and I were taking an evening stroll last night, we watched two young kids ride their bikes with training wheels. It reminded me of when my dad taught me to ride without the trainers — by strapping a belt around my waist and running along side me. It worked, and I learned to ride! This all took place in the parking lot next to our apartment building in Brooklyn. I love my dad!
Roz says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

My hubby and I are expecting our first this summer, but he says he doesn’t feel like a Dad yet. So our cats, the fur-babies, are going to give him a little something on Father’s Day!
Jamie says
Happy Father’s Day, Daddy! You’re the best and I’ll always be your little girl :)

Krys72599 says
Happy Father’s Day, Daddy and Dad (mine and my dad-in-law),
I really wish you were both here for Father’s Day. We’ve spent too many of them without you. And Daddy, I really wish you were here to have a father/son-in-law relationship with J – I know he liked you as a customer (all those many years before he and I ever even thought of dating!) and I know you liked him, too, and respected him. But Daddy and Dad, I really miss you both. I know both of you are watching over J as he starts and finishes all those home improvements, and he’s doing a terrific job, but I REALLY wish you were here to tease him and tell him he’s doing it wrong, just for fun! You two are the best dads ever, and there’s not one single day that goes by that we don’t think of you and miss you. I know you can pull some strings up there in heaven, so make sure Mr. Random Integer Generator picks my number here at YHL ’cause I have no-freakin-idea what to get J for Father’s Day! What do you get the hubby who has everything and wants nothing?????!!!!! Love, Krys
Sara says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
My dad is so proud of me and always goes out of his way to show it. He is the smartest man I know and I would love to give him a fabulous present this year!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY ROB!!!
I am currently pregnant with our first child, so this will be Rob’s first almost Father’s Day! He is going to be a fabulous Dad! I am due on his birthday and he will turn the big 40!!!!!!
Ashley House says
Happy Father’s Day to my wondeful husband, Troy, who is also celebrating his 1st Father’s Day as a dad himself. He is truly wonderful and a huge help with our 3 month old!
Harrel H. says
Happy Fathers Day Pops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you man!
Nell Floyd says
Happy Birthday, dear old dad! You were the best ever, always there for every event, always encouraging me along the way and always saying something positive.
Erin K. says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! My dad can fix almost anything. It’s hard to be patient with my husband who is still learning. :)
Leigh Ishee says
Happy Father’s Day Wendell!
This is my husband’s first Father’s day too. I have loved watching him develop into a great Father. He does everything he can to take care of me and our son. I love that he wants to spend time with him. I love watching them laugh together. I love to see my son’s face light up when he sees his Daddy come into the room. He is a wonderful Dad!
Miranda Myer says
Happy Father’s Day Mel!
Jen C says
Happy Father’s Day Marty!
You are the best husband and father I could wish for! After all that has happened in the last year (losing a preganancy late, then losing premie twins), you have been my rock and I love you more than I could have ever imagined.
Sara says
Happy Father’s Day Dad (David)!
He’s my dad, what could be better than that? Not sure how we are going to celebrate… I should get on that pronto!
Ronnie says
Happy Father’s Day, Mark!!
As a single mother, I need all the help I can get. From helping me keep up with maintenance around my house to helping me remodel my basement, my dad has always been there to lend a helping hand, no matter how behind he gets on things at his own house. He is a saint in so many ways :)
Tiersa McQueen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Harold! We are going to get him a bunch of crabs and shrimp and have a seafood feast on Sunday because that’s his favorite! Best. Dad. Ever.
Debbie says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DANNY!
Thank you for being the father to my beautiful daughter! (and an amazing husband!!) I love you!
Alyssa says
Happy Father’s Day Dad (Tom)! My father is the greatest man alive. Not only has he been the most loving and supportive dad to me, but he is a leader in all sorts of youth groups in our community – helping kids who may not be so fortunate on the father-front. The one minor drawback to having such an amazing dad is that I may never meet a partner who can live up to him!
Kathryn says
Happy Father’s Day George!
There couldn’t be a better Dad if he had been special ordered!!!! Wisdom, affection, and compassion all in one package can’t be beat!
Sue Mayne says
Happy Father’s Day, Dave!! You are the best husband, father, stepdaddy and grandfather ever!! I love you!!
Tricia says
Happy Father’s Day Kevin (aka dad)!
Thanks to my dad who taught me how to lay hard wood floors, paint walls, lay brick, install insulation…basically build a house, all to a snotty teenage girl who pretended like she didn’t want to learn. Now, I can’t wait to build a house of my own someday!
Annie says
Happy Father’s Day Blake!!
Instead of my daughter and I giving Blake a gift, he gave us one. He has a conference in Paris France next week and arrange for us to tag along. What a selfless Daddy. He’s the best.
Renae says
Happy Father’s Day Mike!!!!
It would totally rock if we won because were settling on a house this week and don’t have a grill or mower yet!
Lauren Davison says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, KIRBY!
My husband is so fabulous. He’s hilarious with our daughter. He always comes up with some new way to entertain her and maker her (AND ME) laugh! I love him so much. And he always makes me feel beautiful!
Jess B. says
Happy Father’s Day Corey!!
I came from a household with only a mother, and never really knew what a relationship with a daughter and father was about. My husband and I now have three daughters and I am so blessed to how special that bond is. We are the luckiest girls in the world to have him in our lives :)
lin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Patrick!
We don’t have any babies, but Pat is the best father our dog could ask for! :)
