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 DAVID AND HERB!!!

    We just bought our first house, so we’re celebrating by having my father over to cook out in our new back yard. And since my fiance was willing to give up things like father’s day with his own dad in order to move closer to my fam here in the midwest, my dad’s been doing his best to fill in the gaps. He helped us move, he showed up to cut the grass the first week since we didn’t have a mower. Then he showed up with a mower. He’s already fixed our disposal and our ice maker. And every time we see him he’s got something new for the garage and a way of giving advice that makes Geoff think they came up with the solution together. “A man needs his tools, Sarah.” And Geoff’s dad gifted us with his mother’s (Geoff’s grandmother’s) engagement ring so that I could really feel like a part of the family when Geoff asked me to marry him and we avoided one the of first expenses of married couple-hood! We really hit the dad jackpot in this house and we can’t wait to start celebrating father’s days of our own in the next few years!

    We don’t have any human children…yet, but Winston is our fur-baby for the meantime. Derek is an incredibly wonderful husband and fur-baby daddy. He serves in the US Air Force and is constantly gone on trips, flying his plane here and there, serving our country. I’m so incredibly proud of him and all he does, and hope (fingers crossed!) that he’s lucky enough to win this week’s prize, because he really does deserve it! :D

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BUTCH!

    I was adopted and I lost my beloved father six years ago. This year I reconnected with my biological father. He is a Vietnam hero who was shot down three times and earned many medals the hard way. Neither I nor his three granddaughters have met him yet, as he lives in Thailand, but we are trying very hard to connect very soon. He never had any other children so it will be very special when we can finally meet after 42 years.

I am so grateful to be able to be a stay at home mom, and it’s all because of my lovely hubby :) We just moved into our new home about a week ago and he cant wait to get his hands on our yard, but has no mower yet!!
