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.

- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD. And to my father-in-law. And to my husband who is not a father yet, but proposed to me on Father’s day last year (after asking my own dad for permission, of course). What a great holiday, with great memories!
Stacia says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to my husband Ricky! He loves our new little baby girl Lyla and is such a sweet dad. He doesn’t even shy away from the extra-messy diapers! It took us a few years to be able to have her so the last two months have been an especially enjoyable experience. This will be his first Father’s Day! :)
sarah says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY KEN!
My dad can, will and does everything! He can build an entire house, fix up anything and is always doing something to help someone. He especially does everything for my mom, and is always happy to serve her. He deserves something great!

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Michael Wirth!”
My dad loves to do metalworking and woodworking, and build tools to make tools. He couldn’t be happier than when he is busy with his hands and intellect…
Kat says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD-IO!
I love his cheesy sense of humor… and that he’s supported my animal-rescue efforts since I was old enough to lure a stray kitty into the house! I plan to honor him with a celebration of family and delicious food at my place… And letting my 5 four-week old foster pups share some puppy-loving with him!
Sara E says

Happy Father’s Day Randy!
I rarely get to actually see my Dad on Father’s Day so it’s always important to me to get him somemthing that shows my love. This year, my husband has been laid off for 10 months and counting so we don’t have as much to spare – it would be so great to replace his old busted up grill with this brand new one!!

My dad has been planning Grandpa Camp – he can’t wait for all of the grandkids to come play for a week every summer.

Megan V. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY, POPS! (aka, Manuel. haha)
Whenever I ask my Dad what he’d like for fathers day, he always says the same thing, nothing. So, We started a tradition. Every year I take him out to ice cream, and we’ll go for a walk and sit and chat. Its always a nice, pleasant time because we rarely get to spend one and one time together.
robyn says
happy father’s day, dad! you are so hardworking and selfless, and i love you!
Kara says
Happy FATHER’S DAY Dad (Tom), Step-Dad (David), Father-in-law (Joe), Step Father-in-Law (Gary), and to my wonderful husband Chris who is the most wonderful Dad to our yellow lab Kodi!
I am lucky to have so many Dad figures that love me. My Dad is my absolute best friend though. He’s the one I can go to with anything…serious, funny, etc. He’s a great Dad and has always put me first!!!
Jen says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY MARK!
Here’s to all of those mornings when you used to burst into my room singing, “Oh, what a beautiful mooooorning!” at the top of your lungs to get me out of bed.
Kate says
Happy Father’s Day, to my Dad – Steve, and grandpa – Poppie. Dad Story: My Dad used to do his best to come up with creative meals to cook us for dinner on nights when Mom worked late. Usually, this involved either grilled chicken with a “secret marinade” (almost always syrup or some sort of cheese product), or – MACARONI AND CHEESE NACHOS. Dad would simply make mac and cheese and dump it over tortilla chips. Genius.
amandamcK says

Happy Father’s Day, Denis! Way to go on your novel!

Happy Father’s Day David! I just have the one dad, but he’s the best. :) He never, ever raves about a present, but you can always tell when he really likes it because he’ll bring up how he’s using it or tell you all about what you find out.

Kim says
Happy Father’s Day, Daddy (aka David)! You always work so hard to provide for us, and I’m blessed to have such a great father. We like to poke fun of you for your overuse of duct tape, but we all know you’re like the duct tape to our family–strongly holding our family together. Without you we’d fall apart!
Sue says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Uncle Charlie! Even though you’re gone, you are not forgotten and we’ll always remember all of your funny stories and great advice!!
MICHELLE says
Happy Father’s Day, Jason!! I love ya because you do goofy stuff like try to amuse the kids by flipping whipped cream off your nose and into your mouth! And you keep doing weird stuff like that, even though without fail, you hurt your neck/strain a muscle/fall over/etc.
Julie says
Happy Fathers Day Dad! You are the best! I will be out of town for business on Sunday, but I will definitely be thinking of my wonderful father!
Jennifer F says
Happy Father’s Day to my FIL, Ed!
The last 3 years have been wonderful now that I finally feel like I have a father figure in my life. I grew up not knowing my real dad and with a stepdad I was never close to. It’s wonderful having someone I am so close to! I have the best in-laws!
Joanna says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Steve! You are my best friend and a wonderful father to our boys!

Happy Father’s Day Neil, Dwayne and Dwayne II!
