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 Rob!
My husband is going to be a dad for the first time by the end of the summer. We’re celebrating the Father-to-be this weekend with funny cards and ice-cream cake. He’s going to be a great dad!
Lori B. says
Happy Father’s Day Steve! He’s the best dad I could ask for and always comes over to help with our DIY projects. He’s self-taught in all things handy and I hope to learn from him how to do all the things he’s so talented in.
Sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad and David!
My father and step-father are very different from one another but both have had a big impact on my life. I’d have to split the goods between the two if I win.
Sara G. says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband, dad, and father-in-law! My husband is currently deployed overseas and shortly after he left we found out our landlord was selling our house and we had to move. My dad (and mom) have made the 4.5 hour trip several weekends over the last few months to help me pack, then move, then unpack and organize. My father-in-law has stepped up to take on weekend visits with my step-son and also helped me move on the big day. Both of them have offered endless support and love. I am so lucky to have the family I do to help me during this time!
Sarah says
Happy Father’s Day, Rex!
My dad and I work for the same company, and it’s always nice on the days when he’s sitting in the airport in Nigeria or Oman to get a sappy e-mail or instant message (or a song suggestion – “It made me think of you – just buy it and I’ll pay you back the $.99…”) and know my daddy’s thinking about me no matter where he is.
Amanda Culver says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!! My dad is the most wonderful man, he is always there for me with whatever I need. This Fathers day we are going to stroll through the farmer’s market!
Maureen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY KYLE!
It’s my partner’s second father’s day. In continuing our tradition (so far!) I made a book for him of photos of just him and our daughter. So cute! It’s been hard keeping the secret. Shhhhh…. ;)
kelly says
Happy Father’s Day, Benny and Tim!
My father has been there for me – always Mr. Fix-it! My Father-in-law has been such a loving, supportive addition to my family!
Courtney Schutz says
“Happy Father’s Day Ryan!!!” You are so amazing to me! You work so hard at giving to others for nothing in return as well as for our military who doesn’t always realize your worth! ;.) I feel so lucky every day that Oliver & I have YOU! You help me to realize what real love is! ENjoy your day!
Heather says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband, Ron! His adoration for his little girls (a three of them) is constantly displayed in both big and little ways. He’s a great DH too. :)
We have reservations to a nice restaurant that we’ve been meaning to go to for ages.
Rose says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad John! Love you pops!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY CAMERON!
Having two kids under three makes me appreciate what an amazing father/husband Cameron is. I wrote a blog about it recently: http://thatcrazygravesfamily.blogspot.com/2010/06/daddy.html
I also have an amazing dad and awesome father-in-laws.

Happy Father’s Day soon-to-be Dad!

Happy Father’s Day, Dad! Love how you were always there to proofread my English papers in high school – even at 2 in the morning :-P
Kari says
Happy Father’s Day Dad (Bob)!!
This father’s day is going to be a difficult one for me. I’m moving across the country (from Michigan to California) the 18th, so I won’t be there to celebrate with him this year. I’m incredibly close with my Dad so it’s tough. I’m also very thankful I’ve had to many wonderful years with him so far.
michelle says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TOM!
Karlie Badger says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY MIKE!
My baby works hard for everything he has. He is an amazing father and husband. What can I say a man needs a grill, right?
Love the site. It’s like a subscription to a magazine only free and more personalized. A girl loves a giveaway :)even if it is meant for my man.
Julia says
Happy Father’s Day, Dan! My husband is the best guy I know.
Becky says
Happy Father’s Day Pete and Craig!!
Pete is the best thing that ever happened to me and my mom, he never once made me feel like a step daughter even though I was raised right along side his own two kids.
Craig is the love of my life, the father of my children, and the best man I have ever met. Someday I hope my son is as wonderful of a father, and my daughter marries a man just like him and is as happy as I am to have made such a great choice in a mate!
Kristin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BAYA!
This will be my husband’s first Father’s Day and I am so excited to celebrate it with him and our new baby girl. He is an amazing father and we are so lucky to have him in our lives.
Karen says
Happy Father’s Day Daddy!
I had the honor of being escorted down the aisle just 6 weeks ago by my dad as he gave his only daughter away. Seeing the tears in his eyes as he kissed my cheek is a memory I will cherish forever. I love you Daddy!
Jamie says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY SCOTT!”
Diane P says
Happy Father’s Day John! You are a fantastic father to our little Elsa! Happy Father’s Day Dad! Can’t forget about you!
Nicole Johnson says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY, BRAD
My wonderful husband, who 6 years ago stepped into this mom of a teenage son’s life and changed our world forever. I love you!
Allie says
Happy Fathers Day Joshua! He’s quite the man, to take our growing brood (4th due in feb) in stride so easily. I hope he wins that lawnmower so that he never has to sharpen our old one again. It will give him so much more time to change diapers :)
Adam G. says
Happy Father’s Day Rusty and Dell!
Rusty is my real dad and Dell is my father-in-law and I couldn’t imagine having two better guys in my life to be my fathers. Both are close by and are willing to hang out on the lake or go to a football game in a heartbeat. It’s nice like that.
Alison says
Happy Father’s Day to my Big Brother!
My brother is serving in Afghanistan and is on his way home (right now!!) for a 2 week leave to celebrate my niece’s high school graduation, my nephew’s birthday and Father’s Day. He’s a great Dad that is making a huge sacrifice to be away from his kids to protect our country.
And a very Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s that are serving our country.
Monica says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Grandpa!

Happy Father’s Day, Corncob!! (my nickname for my dad) My dad is super special to me and although we now live over 1,000 miles away from each other, we still talk to each other every day. Love him so much!
jenny says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!
I like to say I have three dads (and three moms) since getting married (my husbands parent’s are divorced and are re-married). Unfortunatly, I will only get to call my dad and my husband’s step-dad, but we will be able to spend father’s day with my husband’s dad.

Julie Anne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, to both my own DAD, and to my Brother in Law, Ken, who is just the bestest father to my little niece, Elena. He embodies all the things a good daddy should be, just like my own dad did and does!
Jen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! Thanks for riding 150 miles on a bike ride for the MS Society last weekend… You Rock!
Jennifer says
My father Andy is the best day in the world. He not only raised me he raised my brother who is NOT his son. My father raised his EX-Wifes’ son. He also paid for my brothers collge and car. Now that does not happen everyday of the week.
Thank you Dad!!
Anne says
Happy Father’s Day Ed! Thanks for being the dad I never thought I would have, since my biological dad is a deadbeat dad. You’ve come through for me more times than I can count and continue to be there! Thanks for everything!

michelle says
Happy Father’s Day, Paul and Herb!
Meredith says
Happy Father’s Day Paul! He’s the hardest working man I know. As a general contractor he has enough tools to open his own store, but I’m sure he would love a new grill!
Jamie says
Happy Fathers Day Ron (dad!) !! Thanks for helping me with my new house and laying my tile!
