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 to my husband Jacob and also to my Dad (Bill)! We can’t celebrate with my Dad this year since they live half way across the country, but we can’t wait to see him when my parents come up to visit next month.
This will be a very happy father’s day for my husband, since we are in the process of buying a new home and he is super excited. :) We have 2 boys (5 & 1) in a condo, so for our family this will be a wonderful move.

Genevieve says
Happy Father’s Day Daddy!
My father is in the air force and hasn’t always been able to be a physically presence in my live; however, he has always been there for me and is one of the most important influences in my life. When I was little, I would wear one of his old uniform jackets whenever I was afraid or upset and it would make me feel invincibly. This was of course highly amusing to my mother, because my father is 6’5″ and his jacket made for a full length dress on me.
alison says

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY STEVE!!
My Dad is the most amazing man and the best role model a girl could have. He taught me everything from how to ride a bike, throw a football, drive a car, be a kind person, think on my feet, command a board room and million other life lessons that made me the person I am today. Thank you Dad — I love you so much!!
Anna says
Happy Father’s Day Mike! Happy Father’s Day Dad!
Mike, I love how you’re Cate’s biggest fan, regardless of what she’s doing, be it dancing or soccer, and how you know her well enough to tell when something’s bothering her without her saying a word! (And me too!)
Dad, you’ve always been there for me, regardless of what stupid mistake I’ve made! Thank you!

Happy Father’s Day Jim!
He instilled in me strong values and a love and appreciation for nature. Wish I could spend Father’s Day with him but he’s in Alaska with Mom enjoying the great outdoors.
dleroy says
“Happy Father’s Day”
It’s just weird to call my dad by his first name. My dad is one of those hard to shop for dads. Lucky for me a Lowes gift card is the way I roll. My dad saves them up until he has enough for a big purchase. Love you daddy.
joanne says
“Happy Father’s Day, Pops!”
You are the best Father in Law a girl could ask for… thanks for all the conversations and encouragement!
Jamie says
Happy Father’s Day dad! Celebrating Father’s Day when you have six siblings is ALWAYS an event!
Lisa says
Happy Father’s Day John!
My dad passed away when I was in middle school and I didn’t have a father figure in my life until I started dating my husband many years later. While no one can replace my own dad, my father-in-law has been exactly what I thought my own dad would be like as I grew up. He has coached me on how to fix my car, my house, my garden, and pretty much anything that breaks. Of course, he has to “show” me first, which usually ends up with me holding the flashlight as he completes the job! LOL
Dorinda says
Happy Father’s Day Jay. We love you and we’ll let you sleep in!
Beatrix H says
Happy Father’s Day Joe!!!
I love my daddy!!
Beth says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD (Bob)!
My husband and I have been living near my parents for the past two years (soon to be moving away) and it’s been great. We’ll really miss being close by!
Stefanie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BIG CHETTY!!
My dad is my absolute hero. He has been a pastor for 35 years, and this year he took the leap (at age 58) to start a non-profit organization in our county. We are officially the first client-choice food pantry in our area, and at the “soft opening” they distributed desperately needed food to more than 40 struggling families in Metro Detroit! I could not be more proud of the work he’s doing and the way he’s using the second half of his life to impact the community in a great way.
Aja says
Happy Father’s Day, James! We don’t have any big plans to celebrate this year, so winning a prize would be nice! ;)
