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!

Thanks for all you do to make our home so happy! Even though I may sigh when you say, “Hey, I’ve got an idea for a project,” I am always happy and so very thankful that you work so hard to make our half-a-house (a.k.a. duplex) a home. We love you!

Happy Father’s Day, Cody!
We’re pregnant with our baby this year, so it will be his first (sort of) Father’s Day. He’s going to be an amazing dad – he’s so sweet & tender hearted! When I’ve been busy worrying over finances & complaining about nausea, he’s been patient with his hormonal wife & adobably emotional during ultrasounds. :) I couldn’t ask for a better daddy for my little baby!
Brigid says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY MIKE!
My dad and I are taking a “Slice of Chicago” tour. It’s a guided tour to the best pizza places in the city where we’re given personal pizzas to taste test (and bring home the left overs)!
My dad can come across as a little intimidating and antisocial sometimes but is such a goofy softie once you get to know him. My sister and I have found boxes letters he and my mom have exchanged over their 35 years together and I’ve cried reading notes he’s written to me for big milestone events. We’ve heard heard stories from his former colleagues about how he’d brag about our accomplishments and how excited he was to show off our (albiet sometimes awkward) photos when we were growing up.
He’s been a great example of the kind of husband I hope to find and kind of dad I want him to be!
Jessi E says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, STEVIE & TIM!
My dad is one of the hardest working men I’ve ever met. But, he’s taught me throughout life that nothng is better than acting like a kid. Even now that I am grown up, it is still the best when my dad asks like a five year old with me!
Jen B says
Happy father’s day Dad!
My husband and I are celebrating by having both of our families over for a cookout!
Kari Ferguson says
Happy Father’s Day Jamund!
Being 8 months pregnant, I’m grateful for a husband who mows our lawn, weeds the garden, and vacuums and takes care of the tile/wood floors in the house too!
Li says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Mike.
You are the best! I hope I can win these two sweet toys for you. :) You use lawn mower and the tools all the time, so this will be perfect.
Jeri says
Happy Father’s Day Dad and husband Scotty!
Susanne says
Happy father’s day, steve! Thanks for everything you do for me!
tarynkay says
Happy Fathers Day to Brick! My amazing father lives up to his name by knowing how to make, do, and fix absolutely everything, up to and including masonry. He visited just a couple of weekends ago, and had demolished the ex-kitchen (including ripping out several layers of linoleum) and chipped out and relaid the bricks in my front stoop because it was “wobbly” all before lunchtime. He really is a superhero.
megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Brad!
Shelly says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY KOU!
Thanks for always being here for me. I know you will be a great father when our little girl is born.
Kim B says
HAPPT FATHERS DAY ROG! Thanks for always being there for me. Most recently for driving out to Iowa (from Michigan) to help me move my son (his grandson) home. Thanks Dad!
Cami says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, PAPA RAY! I love that my dad and I are always able to have really great deep conversations and they always seem to happen right when I need them.
jamie m p says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Joe!
Thanks, Dad, for helping me make my house a home. He’s traveled from New Jersey to visit me in Cambridge, MA the last several summers to help with DIY projects. One year, we built a stunning fireplace mantle, another we installed picture frame moulding in the dining room, another year we tiled the backsplash in our new kitchen, and most recently he’s helped build a new closet in our bedroom.
Sara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY CHARLES!
We have nicknames for eachother – ever since I was little I was fascinated with the size of his nose, so I call him “Big Nose Daddy” or BN for short and he calls me Daughter Deluxe or DD for short. IDK, it’s cute and we laugh, it’s this bond we have that’s really special to me.
emily says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Mark! My father passed away when I was six and when I started dating my now husband his step-father took me in as I was his own daughter. He is the most generous caring person in the world. I know my husband hopes to be a good dad like him when we become parents.
Sarah says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dale! You have been the best father a daughter could ask for – your intelligence, love, dedication, and laughter have made my life blessed more than I could ever say. I love you!!
Lance says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, TOMMY!
