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?

Happy Father’s Day to my dad. He is a solid rock and always helps me out no matter what I need.
Happy father’s day Dad! When I mentioned to my dad that I’m a total daddy’s girl (which is true), he assured me I wasn’t… turns out, I had to explain to him what exactly a daddy’s girl is, to which he responded that he’d enjoy entering into such a “special bond” with me. Typical!

Happy Father’s Day Vinnie!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY IRVIN! I love my Dad to the moon and back. He is the hardest working man I know. He taught me the value of being a good and honest person. He is just so amazing all around.

Happy Father’s Day Raymond!
Happy Father’s Day Ramesh
Happy (almost a )Father’s Day John! In 7 short weeks, you’re gonna make the best one!
Happy Father’s Day, Tom! I knew when I married you that you would someday be a great dad. I knew that.
But to see you in action with our nearly-one-year-old daughter just takes my breath away. The way she looks at you, it’s as though you hung the moon just for her. And who could blame her? What other grown man would turn on Beyonce and dance to and sing “All the Single Ladies” just to get a giggle from their baby girl?
THE BEST!

We have something planned for your day this week that we hope you will enjoy. Thank you for letting me talk to you about YHL like they are our friends and neighbors. They have such great things to share, and it all started because we want to paint the fireplace :).
