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

- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States

Emily says
Happy Father’s Day, Ben! As we begin our adventure as parents this fall, there is no one I would rather share this experience with. You are going to be a great dad!
Jackie says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! We’re celebrating at my house with a big cookout and surprising dad with some sox tickets!
Bethany says
Happy Father’s Day, Larson! He’s the best Papa because he makes everyone in our house happy with his mere presence… why can’t I have those powers over our three wild boys?! Should also mention that he repaired our old, free, hand-me-down mower this summer, but was secretly wanting a new push mower and opted not to spend the skrill… it would be the perfect gift! Thanks for hosting such a great give-away for the Dads!
Mallory says
Happy Fathers Day, Papa and Owen!! I’ll be 1,200 miles away from my dad and my father in law this weekend, so it’ll be a long distance fathers day celebration.
Mrs S says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad!
Nicole says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband! He’s such a wonderful father (and role model) for our 8 year old son.
Jennifer says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!! and to My new father-in-law Dave and my brother-in-law the father of my beautiful twin nieces.
Dawn S. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to my wonderful husband and recent Dad, Ryan! This will be his first official Father’s Day — I went into labor with our son the day after Father’s Day last year! He is the most fun, loving, and model dad I’ve ever met! My own dad died 11 years ago, and it’s fun to have a reason to happily celebrate Father’s Day again with my husband!
We will be buying our first home in the next 1-4 months, and the top items on our must-get list are a lawn mower and a grill! My husband loves to cook, but the kitchen is my domain, so I look forward to his tasty grill creations soon!
Bradley says
Happy Fathers Day Roger!

Happy Father’s Day Lou and Bill! <3

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Gadi!
Emily says
Happy Father’s Day Jon (my hubby)! Even though you won’t be a “father” until December (I’m pregnant with our first child). I still want to celebrate this year since he’s already been taking such good care of me and our little bean!
Nina says
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad Dan and my soon to be father-in-law Bill (aka Wild Bill)!

Sarah @ The Ugly Duckling House says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY CHRIS (my Dad)!
This year to celebrate Father’s Day, my sis and I are taking my Dad to a minor-league baseball game and having a cook-out. We do so much grilling in the summer, that Char-Broil grill sure would come in handy to replace the busted Wal-mart one he’s got now!
Scot says
Happy Father’s Day Bill (Dad) and Pete (brother)
So glad both of you are now in Atlanta and we can celebrate Father’s Day with more than a card.
Amelia says
Happy Father’s Day Vic and Don! And I can’t post presents here because then it might not be a surprise!
Christy says
Happy Father’s Day Dad(Jerry)!
My dad and I share the same sense of humor so when we get together all we do is laugh.
Colleen says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband and father-to-be to our first born child, Brian. We are expecting a baby in September, and I can’t wait to see him become the amazing father I know he will be.
Millie says
Happy Father’s Day Michael, Dad, and Grampy!!
Michael and I are expecting our first baby in Jan! He’s been the best support system through this trying first trimester.
My Dad is the greatest – He was recently here and because he wanted to try one ginger candy he then went out and restocked our cabinets with every ginger item he could find to help ease my tummy! That’s a good Dad!
And Grampy is the secret life of the party! Nothing beats his smuggled in velvet tuxedo story, and breaking his much retired dancing shoes to dance with me on my wedding day.
Stephanie E says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Brian! Father’s Day will be celebrated with Brian returning home from the NASCAR Driving Experience. We will also be celebrating our niece’s 1st birthday and heading out for a meal fit for the “king” that he is. :)
Elaine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, JERRY!
Danielle says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY JOHN! :)
Tara says

Kelly Michael says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY ANDY!! Thank you for being the best father to our daughter. There is no one that can make her laugh like you do. I didn’t think I could love you more, but when I see her with you my cup runneth over.
Shannon says
Happy Fathers Day Drew! We really appreciate how much you sacrifice to take care of us.
We will be celebrating early since he will be on a boat working on Father’s Day.
Taylor (The House on Penny Lane) says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JIM AND RANDY!
Randy is the best because he has all the tools and know-how to teach us to figuratively fish. Jim can hold his own around tools as well, but he uses them in the most unlikely of ways. They are both wonderful father figures.
Erin says
Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thanks for all your help and advice so far on our first place :)
Eryn says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!

Happy Fathers’ Day DADS EVERYWHERE!!!

Happy Father’s Day Dad!
jamie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Jim! After being diagnosed with diabetes, my dad completely turned his life around. Always one for positive thinking, my dad is truly an inspiration and a never ending source of love and support. I’m so glad his lifestyle changes will keep him here with us longer!
Mike at The Big Stick says
Happy Father’s Day bro!
My brother has surprised us all by being a very, very hands-on dad. We really thought he would let his wife do the dirty work while the kids were little and take over when they started playing sports and what-not.
Kimberly says
Happy Father’s Day David!!!!
My dad is amazing because he not only has 10 children, a full time job, and has rental properties, but in the mist of all the busyness he has still managed to make time for me throughout the years and gives great advice! Love you dad!!!
Carrie says
Happy Father’s Day Don!! Love you tons!
amy says
Happy Father’s Day to my awesome hubby, Andy! I’m so proud of you. What a wonderful daddy you are to Graham, even with just 20 days under your belt. I know he’ll always feel secure in the arms of the man who caught him!
Amanda says
Happy Father’s Day! I wouldn’t be where I am today without my stepdad!
Kimberly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO MY HUBBY! My husband deserves a fabulous Father’s Day for all he does for his family, and for putting up with a pretty demanding pregnant wife (hahahaha!!!!).
Anna says
Happy Father’s Day Dad and Chard. Thanks for making our lives better with your “keeping it real” charm.
Ashley P says
HAPPY FATHER”S DAY DAD, NORM AND WEST!
Two Father’s Days ago my husband and I went fishing with my dad, and I hooked a sting ray that was about 3 feet around. My husband and I were pretty much freaking out, but my dad just calmly got the pliers and freed the thing- I even kept my hook! It’s not sappy or particularly poignant in any way, but it’s one of my best memories of my dad!
Erica says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! My dad has spent his weekends and days off work driving an hour and a half to help me work on the house I bought 9 months ago. Every time he comes down, he helps with projects like installing new kitchen cabinets and dishwashers, removing unsightly pipes that run across my shower, installing tile, and helping to refinish my hardwood floors. I’ll bet he would love a new grill for Father’s Day!
Julie Tufts says
Happy Father’s Day David & Gary, Fred and Russell!
They all are/have been great dads and granddads!

Happy Father’s Day, Charles!
