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, Father-in-law! My father in law loves working with his hands, and always does so much for our home without ever being asked to do so. The lawn mower would be such a nice gift for him and he absolutely LOVES BBQing too!

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, TONY!

    C’mon, random number picker, choose me! My hubby has been jonesing for a reel mower for ages now, but being crazy frugal, we’ve decided to put it off until the gas mower bites the dust. Tony’s a wonderful father to his daughter (and my stepdaughter), and this would be a great way to say thanks. :)

    Nic is actually my husband, and is a better father then I could have ever imagined for my children. We don’t really celebrate Father’s Day because he “doesn’t want a party for just doing a job he loves”. LOVE the mindframe he has! :) Although I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t complain about getting a free grill (we don’t have one) or a new mower! (We want to give up the gas one too!)

    My dad’s a loveable goof-ball, and when he visits he always wants a list of house projects that he can tackle while I’m at work. Then on the weekends or weeknights we try to conquer the list together.

    My step-dad is also fantastic and I couldn’t ask for a nicer one. He’s definitely the grill-king.

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! He has always been quiet and to himself and I’m afraid we don’t tell him enough how much we appreciate him. I remember growing up, I would only ride rollercoasters if he was with me and I would only step on an escalator if he was holding my hand. He has no idea how much he means to me!

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO MY HUSBAND! We are expecting our first child in August, so we are celebrating with him too. I have no doubt that he will be a great father. He is already extremely overprotective of our future son. He doesn’t like it when I poke the baby, even when the baby is kicking me in the ribs!

    My husband amazes each day with what a wonderful father he is and wants to be. And I can’t believe what a fabulous grandfather my dad has become to our little girl. Even though it was hard for him to tell me/show me he loved me when I was younger, I see it lavished all over my daughter and know that he loves me that much too.

    I’m blessed enough to now have two dads in my life and while my father in law is a great man and helps us out in more ways than I can thank him, of course I am a Daddy’s girl and I’ll always remember him as my hero. He’s been there for me through all my life and now I cannot wait to have him meet his grandson, who’s expected to make his appearance this fall. I hope to spoil him this fathers day, and what a better way!

    My dad and I haven’t always had the best relationship, but in the past year we’ve finally put stuff behind us, and started building a real relationship. I remember right after he and mom got divorced the only way he knew how to cook was on the grill. So, here it is, middle of February (in Northern VA) in freezing temps, and dad’s cooking on the grill for my brother and I. I’m pretty sure whatever it was burnt, but I ate it anyway cause he looked really cold. :D
