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 Cody! You’ll never know how much I appreciate how hard you work for us, though you might get a glimpse if we win this stuff! :o

Happy Father’s Day My wonderful husband Gerald!! I know this year our little girl is still waiting to arrive but she and I love you more than words can say. I can’t wait to see the wonderful father you will become to her and the other children we will hopefully be blessed with. You are my very best friend and biggest supporter. Even though this new journey in our lives is a little scary I’m glad I have you by my side every step of the way. I can’t imagine my life without you. You are going to make one PERFECT Dad!
I love you!
LGG and baby B and of course our first child (Boston Terrier – Bean)!
kara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY MIKE! You have always been an inspiration. Love you!
Tamisha says
Happy Father’s Day, John! You’ve been the best father-in-law a girl could hope for! We love you!
Melissa says
Happy Father’s Day to The Hubs!
This is a little premature since he’s not yet a father, but that is our latest DIY project. I’m happy to be married to a future awesome dad!
Kara F. says
Happy Father’s Day to my wonderful husband Jason!
I hope you enjoy working all day, but you get that relaxing fishing trip on your first minute off! You make me so happy and are the best father and husband we could ask for!
Sara Klick says
Happy Father’s Day Del!
Del is my dad. He is the type of father that wore ties I made from construction paper to work on Take Your Daughter to Work Day. He’s the type of dad who told me “I will try my hardest to like your boyfriend, but I will never think that anyone is good enough for you.” He is the type of dad who walked me down the aisle and as he hugged me said “I was wrong. There is someone good enough for you.”
andrea says
Happy Father’s Day Dennis! Thanks for being a great dad!
susanne bloom says
Happy Fathers Day Dad! (Bob) He always took my sister and I out of the weekends to give my mom a break. He taught us to save our “nickels and dimes.” He taught us both how to be completely independent and self sufficient, and to always “speak up.” And he taught us the way around a hardware store!
Megan says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY PAPPY!”
Andrea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad!
Thank you dad, for acting like frozen Banquet Fried Chicken and Macaroni and cheese was your favorite meal when I would make it for you every father’s day as a kid. :) And of course we would always eat it in the dining room, on the good china with lit candles.
ally says
Happy Father’s Day, Pete!
I’m taking a cue from Jen at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam and making my hubs a “throne” for the day–a comfy place to sit with the remotes, some good treats, and refreshing drinks so he can take a break from all the projects I ask him to do.
Christy Gautreau says
Happy Father’s Day to my fantastic dad, Roland!
I generally describe him as “my rock.” My dad is the strongest and most consistent person I know. He has taught me how to truly care about people and how to manage money!! He is such a genuine man, and now that he is all alone at home, that grill would surely make cooking for himself a lot easier…or at least possible!!
ML says
Happy Father’s Day Charlie!
My in-laws have been a huge help to us since we moved into our new home. This Father’s Day they are coming over to help us chop up a tree that fell in our yard during a recent storm. After that, I’m making dinner for everyone as a thank you for all their help.
Courtney says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
I love my father because he is so selfless. He is saving up his pennies to pay for our wedding reception food and rental even though he just got engaged to his girlfriend of fifteen years and now has another wedding (and honeymoon in Ireland) to pay for!
Kendall says
Happy Father’s Day Andy!!
Growing up family dinner never meant us all gathering around the table together. It usually meant us all gathering around the kitchen island picking at what my dad has just pulled off the grill. My father is a die hard grill master. Rain or shine, at least three times a week, my father can be found ,tongs in hand, with a piece of meat on the grill. My favorite moments are watching him pull meat off the grill one handed with an umbrella in the other. Such dedication deserves reward…I only wish I could afford to give him this grill on my own. This father’s day weekend he will walk me down the isle. Afterward we are going to celebrate in true family fashion, with barbecue, beer..and hopefully no umbrellas.
Mark says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad!
Anne says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Eric! I loved you before we had kids, but seeing what an incredible father you are makes me love you more than I knew was possible. Edward is SO lucky to have you for a Papa. For Father’s Day, we will go see Toy Story 3 & have homemade pizza. Plus, Edward & I are picking out an awesome garden hose winder for you.
Kylee says
Happy Father’s Day, Christopher!
Catherine says
Happy Father’s Day, David!
We actually celebrated Father’s Day yesterday (which was a surprise to David) because our daughter is being baptized next Sunday and that plus all of the family that will be here for it means that David won’t get the attention he deserves on his first Father’s Day. So we had our own yesterday and it was great:)
ashley white says

Laura @ youngDCliving says
Happy Father’s Day Simon!
I think I will be treating my dad to a nice breakfast at our favorite hang-out, a card, and a good book :)
Katie says
Happy Father’s Day Day (aka Timmy).
Wouldn’t it be nice for me to be able to grill for dad for a change? All is possible with this freebie! Otherwise he’ll be stuck with baked goods.
Kate says
Happy Father’s Day, Jacob!!! He is the most fabulous and loving father to our two young daughters: Addison and Charlotte. I couldn’t ask for a better partner!!!!
Sara says
Happy Father’s Day, JACK!! The best dad a girl could ask for :) Thanks for all of your love and support.
Jey says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Charlie!
Charlie is laid back and very generous. He sees you are in need and helps you out.
katie didit says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD!!!
Being a 20-something year old and living hours away from my parents doesn’t mean that they won’t come running when I need them. I had knee surgery 6 months ago and they drove the 8 hours to be with me pre and post surgery…then drove me home the 8 hours so I could crash on their couch for a month. Oh yeah, then drove me the 8 hours back :)
Hannah Robinson says
Happy Fathers Day Matthew! You are the best Dad to our little ones that I could have ever dreamed of. Thanks for all you do!
Christine says
Happy Father’s Day, Pat!
Lorrie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to my dad, Ron!
My parent’s divorced when I was 8 years old (I’m 41 now, so it has been a while) and he was always my stability. When I felt sad, or lonely, or was having troubles with my mom….he was always there to talk me through it. As I got older, he was always there to offer advice or money whichever I needed worse! He is and always will be the greatest….and he retired a few months, so he is now officially a man of leisure!!!
Lauren says
Happy Father’s Day, Greg! I’m going to celebrate by furnishing your guest bedroom, so that you can come visit me in my new house. Thanks for helping me put in the new floors – they look great :)
Cheryl says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad (Neil)!!
One of my favorite memories is playing baseball in the backyard with the Fisher Price bat and ball set. Those special times together gave me a love for the game and for you. I couldn’t have asked for a better dad.
Kayleigh says
Happy Father’s Day, Dennis!
You’re still the coolest dude I know, even though you no longer throw coasters across the floor for me to fetch in exchange for dill pickles (hint, this is a game Clara AND Burger can enjoy, together…sibling bonding!)
Cheers to you, Dad, for being my favorite person to hang out with. xo.
Stephanie says
Happy Father’s Day Teddy!
You are creating memories for our children that I didn’t have with my own dad. I’m so glad that you do your best to take care of our family and love on us! We love you!
amanda l says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Mike. You’re going to be a daddy soon, and hopefully we can win these great gifts to give you a head start on all that wonderful dad-ness!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DADDY!
My dad passed away in 2003, but a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him. This father’s day I plan to celebrate/remember him by having my family over for a cookout and just talking about all the great memories everyone has of him! I love him and miss him so much!
allie says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Sky! I remember we would make meals together and have a “formal” dress up dinner.
stephanie says
Happy Father’s Day, Cam!
You’re the best dad ever :)
Cheryl P says
Happy Father’s Day Brian(my husband!! (And to Daryl, my Father in Law, and Jeff, my brother!)
My own dad passed away a little over 18 months ago and I miss him dearly, but I am blessed to have three wonderful “fathers” in my life. My wonderful husband – the ultimate hands on daddy to our four year old little boy. My Father In Law, who raised my husband and his brother with a strong work and family ethic, to be good men and wonderful role models for their own sons, and my older brother(by 14+ years) who in addition to being a pesky brother, has been a father figure to me the last few years – giving advice,helping me(and Brian) make good decisions both financially and with our home projects. I am a lucky girl to have so many wonderful guys in my life and as role models for our son – so that in the future, he will be a wonderful dad, too.
Brooke says
Happy Fathers day DAD! (Clayton)
My dad makes me laugh cause he says things like “anyhooper” instead of saying anyhow.
Stephanie N says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband Nick and to my own father, Dad!
I’m planning on giving them both a nice relaxing day and cooking supper for them in the evening.
