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

Happy Father’s Day DAD…err Garry!
My dad has been such a strong guiding force in my life and now a friend as I have grown older I love him to bits! haha.
AND, Happy Father’s Day Matty! Even though we only have furbabies right now I can already tell what an amazing daddy you’ll be to our future kids.
Ashley A. from Wyoming says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD! :) (Whoops, apparently hitting enter too soon means the post goes up before it’s meant to!)
To the man who taught me that anything can be fixed as long as you have company; who rocked me to Led Zeppelin’s “The Song Remains the Same” when he got up to feed me as a baby; and who taught me everything I know about humor.
Sarah Richardson says
Happy Father’s Day Adam! I’m so excited that you will be a father this year (provided that our baby arrives soon). You are going to make a great dad!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BEEJ! I love you babe! You are such an amazing dad to Baby Grace.

Kristine says
Happy Father’s Day, to my new husband of 1 month. You are the love of my life and even though you’re only the daddy of two (very healthy and happy) dogs, I know you will be a great father some day. Also, thank you for mowing the lawn today after I said I would do it on Saturday, but didn’t. Love you! :D
Also, Happy Father’s Day to my dad, who is too old to mow the lawn, and doesn’t cook, but still is the best dad ever! Love you too! :D :D

Sharon says
“Happy Father’s Day to my dad Hanson. The only man in my life that has never failed me EVER. One of the sweetest thing my Father did for me was when I was about 16 yrs old. I had just broken up with the “love of my life” my ex boyfriend showed up with his “new love” at church. I ran outside crying my Dad followed me out and said “I think you and I will just have a day”. My dad and I went riding on his bike all day to get my mind off of my breakup. He never ask me about my tears…. I will never forget this day and how my dad tried to help my broken heart :) I love you more than you will ever know.
Kristen says
Happy Father’s day Josh & Keith :)

HAPPY 1ST FATHER’S DAY, KEN!
Our little bean is almost four months old and she couldn’t have asked for a better daddy. Thank you for taking care of ‘your girls.’ I didn’t think that I could love you any more than I already until you became a father. I love you! WE love you!
Erin says
Happy Father’s Day, Michael!
I love seeing my husband play baseball with our two daughters, makes me smile every time, he’s so in to it!
K (Barking BabyMama) says
Happy Father’s Day Justin!
My husband became a Dada just over a year ago, and there is no better person on earth to teach my son how to be a father, a husband, or a man. Justin is a tireless servant to our family, working hard at his job as well as his own small business, and watching our son one day a week while I work as a RN – throughout all of this, he has a light, joyful spirit and keeps us all laughing. I am so thankful that God has blessed my life with him.
Lara says

“Happy Father’s Day, Dad aka Tom”
My dad really is the definition of a perfect father. He is selfless, loyal, and a fantastic role-model. All of my best life lessons came from my dad!
Becky says
Happy Fathers Day Jedrix! I am so proud of you. One of the many things I admire about you is the way you always take the time to wrestle and play with our boys even after a long day at work. You are a great dad and I hope you enjoy your day!

Malissa says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY ED!
My Dad is the most generous, kind and loving Father a girl could have ever asked for. I know there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for our family and I wish there was some way that I could repay him for that, even though I know there isn’t :).
This year I’m going to honor him by making him his favorite new meal at home, his favorite place.
SB says
Happy Father’s Day, Daddio! I hate that I inherited my dad’s (and his dad’s) nose – it looks funny on a girl. But I sort of enjoy it, too – it never fails to surprise me how much I can look like the old man.
