Fab Freebie: Father Lowe’s Best

****This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

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):

Lowes Father's Moodboard

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

Lowes Fiskars Mower

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?

Lowes Char Broil Grill

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 Max and Randy! We are celebrating my husband’s second father’s day this year by letting him pick! He is going to play golf and then we will all go to dinner. As for my dad, we are going to head over with extended family to celebrate the day before by cooking and sharing all the new babies in the family.

    No matter how old I get he’ll always be Daddy to me! How can you thank the man who has been there your entire life with a hammer, hug, screwdriver, duct tape, words of wisdom, tire iron, super glue, and an “It’ll be okay, baby. We can fix it.”?

    “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DADDY-O!”

    My father passed away 12 years ago but I always like to pause and remember all the cool Father’s Days we’ve celebrated in the past. Times grilling, or hanging out by the pool, and times when he would let me win at go fish!

    My dad, the engineer, is always fixing things or tinkering to make them better. The best part is the phrases he uses that even my husband catches himself repeating… for example, as soon as he gets something working he always says, “now we’re cooking with gas!” :)

    “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Matt!” What an exciting year for my husband as well. It is his first father’s day!! He did not have a father figure growing up and I know had doubts about how good of a father he would be to our daughter but I will be sure to let him know that he is a wonderful father and doing a great job!

    HAPPY FATHERS DAY JAMES! HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD (Dale & Luke)! I will not be able to spend Father’s day with my dad or my father-in-law but I can spend it with James who is the most wonderful father to our three fur-babies! He keeps us all happy and content with his quiet, low key habits and will happily play fetch in the hot sun or cold snow just to keep the “little dog” calm. And after that still find time to smile and cook dinner! A house full of love is a Happy House indeed!

    I’ll be driving 4 hours home this weekend to hang out with my dad – we’ll get up early Sunday morning and go fishing on the river (just like when I was little) then sit by the pool, relax, and have steak on the grill. (it’s old and could definitely be replaced!)
