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, Daniel! We just bought our first house this year and have been borrowing most of the things on this wonderful list either from my father in law or our neighbors. It’d be great for my wonderful hubby, and the father of our 2 year old and one on the way, to be able to mow, grill, saw and build anytime he wanted to!
Jennifer Finley says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BEAU!
It is my husband’s first father’s day as we now have an 8 week old son!! He has been such a great father and has really embraced doing all the things that go along with having a baby. I appreciate him more than he knows!

Happy Father’s Day Dan!
Dan is an amazing father to our 3 year old son, Jake. He spends countless hours doing puzzles, reading books, and rolling out playdoh with our favoritle little boy. Jake also loves to go on “missions” with Daddy every weekend to Lowes/grocery store, etc. Jake just loves Daddy time.
Not only is Dan a great father, but an amazing husband. He cleans, does laundry, takes care of Jake, etc. I am one lucky lady to have found such an amazing, caring man to be my husband!

Happy Father’s Day Kyle!
Like you John, my husband Kyle will be celebrating his first Father’s Day this year. He is a great husband so it is no surprise to me that he is turning out to be a wonderful father. Our daughter is already quite the “daddy’s girl” — she just can’t stop smiling when she sees him.
As much as I love and cherish my own dad, I would probably give these gifts to my hubby to make his first Father’s Day great. Heck, the mower is so cool I might offer to help mow the lawn! :)
Thomas Smith says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TOM AND LEE!
We also just moved into our first house about 8 weeks ago, and Dad has already helped out on multiple move-in projects for our back porch, garage, and yard. It sure makes things easier when someone is so willing to give of themselves.
Simply Sarah says
Happy Fathers Day, D!
Even though he’s only a doggie daddy right now I know he will make a wonderful dad. He’s so patient with our overly active, a super stubborn pup!
Debby says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAN!
My dad and I used to have a garden together when I was growing up. We’d go to the store and I got to pick out the flowers and we’d plant them together. It was our father/daughter bonding time. Now my husband and I just bought our very first home and I’m very excited to put my gardening skills to use.

Happy Fathers, Day Dad!!
My dad always tells me how special I made his life and how grateful he is for what my sister and I have taught him. He says he doesn’t need a special day, because everyday is Father’s Day to him! BUT, he does love to grill…so we’ll be spending the day helping him cook!

Happy Father’s Day Tom!
My best memory are beach memories with you!

Happy Father’s Day Dennis & Pops!!
Dennis would be my FIL, and Pops…well, that would be my dad, Mike. My husband is not yet a father, but someday he’ll make just as great a dad as our dads did when we were kids! :) We can’t wait to start a family of our own!!
Meredith says
Happy Father’s Day, Kyle! It’s your first Daddy’s Day with our little girl!

Happy father’s day Josh! And happy father’s day to my own Dad. I miss my Dad so much and wish I could celebrate with him. But Josh is such a great dad to our daughter that I feel lucky to be around them. What a wonderful life I have been blessed with. I look forward to this day every year. Our daughter is only 15 months but is already a daddy’s girl.
Julia Rechsteiner says
Happy Father’s Day James!
He works super hard to be a good provider and then he comes home to be the best dad. Spending time with him is always fun and he has taught me so much that is useful and a lot of things that are just fun like gardening, fishing and a love of college football. :)
Jackie says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad (Rolly)!!!!!
Well, this is going to be an exciting Father’s Day for my dad this year, since I’m getting married on Friday (the first one in our family!) and we have a weekend jam-packed with family activities to celebrate the special occasion. My dad has worked so hard to help give my fiance and me a great wedding and he deserves the best Father’s Day ever!
Holly says
Happy father’s day, Tom!
Kelly V. says
Happy Father’s Day Pops!
Unfortunately, we won’t get to celebrate with my pops this year due to distance, but we’ll celebrate with some golf, pool and a cookout with my husband’s dad & my dad-in-law! Growing up my dad constantly provided us with love and support as needed, while teaching us to grow & become independent. He’s the best … I hope one dad my husband will be able to do the same for our future babies :)

My husband is having his first one this year as we just had a daughter in March. He is the most caring and generous person I know and I am proud to be his wife.

We just moved across the backyards from my parents, and my dad has been over helping out almost every day.
