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

Happy Father’s Day Mike! We are so blessed to have you as the daddy in our family!
Krystal says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY PAPA KEVIN!
Boy, oh, boy would my step-dad love this (in addition to the yard vaccuum that he’s been begging for)! My step-dad (Papa Kevin) has been one of the most influential people in my life, and I love that he is so hardworking while never forgetting his inner child…
You know how when you take two children to a store and one of them always gets hurt because they were playing around with something they shouldn’t have been? That is my Papa Kevin and I in a nutshell, and on our Memorial Day weekend trip to Lowe’s, Papa Kevin was the one that got hurt this time (though it’s usually me). You see, Lowe’s had a really nice display of mini vise grips on one of their endcaps and Papa Kev decided to loosely clip them to his ears like earrings. “See, Krystal, you could get a man if you wore earrings like these.” To which I replied, “Stop being stupid, Mom is going to get mad.” and then I squeezed the vise grips thinking that was how you released them. I knew I had made a mistake when Papa Kev’s eyes bugged out of his head and he let out a high-pitched scream. Even though I nearly ripped off his ears, I love that he found it hysterically funny instead of getting angry (though he once wanted to kill me after I nearly blinded him…hint of advice, make sure you have eye contact before you say “think fast!” and throw a Baby Ruth bar at some one).
Heather says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD STAY!
To the man who nearly blew up the house and burned all the hair off his sons’ arms all in the name of chemistry. I love you Dad!
Jen says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband Justin!
Alexis says
Happy Father’s Day David!!
Hopefully we can get out on the sailboat a few times this weekend to celebrate! :)
Alicia says
Happy Fathers Day Daddy!
Daddy is always there to come over and help when something in the house goes wrong. My hubby isn’t the best of handymen, but my dad is teaching him the ropes.
Sara says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband Derek! He is a wonderful Daddy to our 2 yr old boy, Caden. We are celebrating a safe return from Afghanistan and Fathers day with a long weekend trip to Myrtle Beach.
Also happy Fathers Day to my Dad, Step Dad, and Father in law. You all rock!
Caitlin says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY UNCLE MICHAEL!
There’s no one in my life I look up to more!
tia says
Happy Father’s Day Mark! Mark has been busy cleaning out the garage to make room for new tools. Some of the electrical taped hand-me-downs are starting to make me nervous!
maria says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to YHL’s John and my own dad, Bud! :)
My dad is a great guy. Aren’t all guys? and he’s a landscaper, so the mower would definitely come in handy.
And my boyfriend, though not a father just yet, would LOVE a new grill. Sign us up. Thank you so much and enjoy this weekend!
Jen S. says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY, Greg!
Here’s to another great year of hiking, backroads-ing, bluegrass-listening, and welcoming baby #2!
Amanda says
Happy Father’s Day JD!
You’re going to make a terrific father! I knew it when I first met you, and I know it now with 15 days to go until this baby is due!
Amanda says
Happy Fathers day… Mom and Dave.
My mom has raised me on her own since I was a pre-teen. She is the best mother (and father) a girl could have.
Recently though, I’ve been blessed with a new father figure. I admit I was bullheaded when I first met Dave, but he has grown on me like a moss on a tree. I couldn’t ask for a better guy for my mother. You’ve taught me so much about cars. And even helped me catch my first fish.
Nicole says
Happy Father’s Day to Mark Dodd!
Because every afternoon you come home and take the kids off my hands for a little while. You’re the greatest dad and husband!
Barbara says
Happy fathers’ day!
Brian Baer says
Not only is my dad an awesome person in general, but he has been a HUGE help to us this year during our remodel/house finish. We couldn’t have done it without all of his hands on help…dad, you retired just in time!
teresa says
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Nick!”
To the best dad and husband
Rachel says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TIM!
My favorite memory of my father is actually from a rough period in my family’s history. My dad was out of work for several months when I was about 8 years old. I know he struggled that entire time frantically searching for work, but all I remember is that almost every day he took an hour or so time out to take us to the neighborhood pool. Thanks dad!
Katie says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!
Meredith K A says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Hubby! (I’m hoping we’re pregnant soon, so that counts, right?)
Paul makes my day very often, but most recently by building us 3 walls and a floor for a compost pile so it’s no longer looking trashy under the tree in our yard!
We would love the Fiskar mower – can’t be any more difficult than our current gas-powered push mower, possibly even easier since I bet it weighs a lot less. I would love to try it out!
Mikaela says
Happy Father’s Day Dustin!!
We’re celebrating his return from military annual training with a surprise gift and steaks on a crumbling grill. Could totally use a new one!
Kendra says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DON! Now that my sister & I are older with our own kids I truly appreciate how supportive & encouraging my dad is.
Meghan says
Happy Father’s Day, Cody! He is the best father to our 10-month-old AND does the dishes :)
Christine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to my wonderful hubby, CHAD!
Renae says
Happy Father’s Day…to all of the daddies out there! My husband actually has to leave for business on father’s day so maybe we’ll win this and it’ll make that seem like no big whoop.
Renn says
Happy Fathers Day Marshall!!!
Charli says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY CLIFFORD!!!
My dad is absolutely the most humble and kind man I have ever met. Not only that, but he can fix or make ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. He is so talented with his hands and does beautiful work.
Kristinrose24 says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband, Tim! We’re expecting our first baby in the next couple of months, and he’s been such a great dad already. He’s always looking out for me and making sure the baby is ok. I can’t wait to see how he is as a dad when the baby actually comes out:)
Adrienne B says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY PETER!
He has almost single handedly renovated our house… we try and help, but… I stick to the painting. No nailguns for me.
Alissa H. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Martin!
Anna Tovar says
Happy Father’s Day Jim!
My dad is the type of guy who doesn’t replace ANYTHING unless it is completely dead, and he can almost always revive all of the things that break [even if they are no longer efficient].
All that to say that he desperately needs a respectable grill!
Katherine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, MIKEY!
Jill says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad and Jay!! Hope we can get you this fun new stuff ;)
Kirsten says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband Dennis!
A great father to our 3 boys!
Jessica J. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dad!!
My husband and I are having our dads over for dinner and s’mores around a fire. I told my dad I’d cook whatever he wants and he requested Grilled PB&J. Never had it? It’s like Grilled Cheese but you replace the cheese with PB&J. And it’s only good if you make it with really really cheap white bread.
Susan says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY PAUL!!
I plan to give my husband the chance to golf for Fathers Day. Something he hasn’t had much time to enjoy since our Daughter’s arrival. :)
Shay says
Happy father’s day Babe!
This father’s day I plan to celebrate by surprising him with the news that he will be a father!
Jen says
Happy Father’s Day to the best bunch of Dad’s & Grandpa’s a kid (or wife) could ask for….Paul, Jim, Norm, Tom, and Jeff.
jess says
Happy Father’s Day, Daddio!
I can’t imagine calling my father by his first name, I’ve only ever called him some version of “dad” and “coach.” He was my high school soccer coach, and even though I graduated yeaaarrrrs ago, we still find the time to bond over soccer. Be it watching high school games together, kicking a ball around, or talking about all the amazingness of the WORLD CUP, it’s something that have together that I am oh so thankful for.
Mara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAVE & GEORGE!
Laura says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, STUART!
My dad is always willing to help my sister and me. What a nice gift!

I wouldn’t be a Mom to three great kids without him!
barb says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!!
My dad stays in contact with me each day, even though we are on opposite sides of the country.
Lindsey says
Happy father’s day, Dad!
Kim at Yellow Brick Home says
Happy father’s day, Dad!
You gotta love a dad that gets his daughter so into hockey, that it’s still one of her number one passions as an adult – so much so that her husband has to endure her sports craziness.
Holly says
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad and I have always had a special connection. Even as a little girl, he was my favorite person. Our shared interests made my teen years easier to navigate.
