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

Happy Fathers Day Russell!
I want to tell you what a wonderful father Russell is and how he has been a great day for the last 21 years! Especially this year when our two children are working and he is willing to ride the train, ride with other co-workers and take the bus so their is a car available to get the kids to work. He has always been there for our two and has been devoted to making sure that they are a success in college and life. He has set such a wonderful example of how loving and giving a father should be. He certainly has been an honor to be his wife and co-parent in life.
Katie M says

Happy Fathers Day Damian! I love that you will take on any project without even knowing what you are getting into, you listened to all my emotional babbling when I was pregnant and afterwards when I was a new mom.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, BRIAN!
I love the way our one year old lights up as soon as Daddy gets home from work. She’s even figured out that the garage door (accompanied by the dogs barking, as they know what the door noise signals also) means DADDY IS ABOUT TO WALK IN! And off she crawls to great him.

Happy Father’s Day, Dada!
My dearest husband asked for a steam mop for Father’s Day this year. Do I even need to tell you he’s the best?
He also happens to be an amazing “Dada” (and sometimes “Daddy”) to our incredible daughter so I reserved him a tee-time at his favorite golf course as well.
Happy first Father’s Day John!

Destiny says
Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!!

Happy Father’s Day, Mike (a/k/a Dad)! I love that we kids get along with you (and play off each other) well enough that strangers think you could be our brother. Thanks for being there when I need your help, for letting me sort out my own problems when I need you to, and for knowing the difference between the two!
Liz Bea says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY RYAN! My sweet hubs

My dad doesn’t like reel mowers, and grills exclusively with charcoal…guess I would get to keep these then!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Luke! One of the main reasons I married you was because I knew you’d be a great dad! Our kids are so lucky…and so am I!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, CHRIS!
While we dont have any real children…yet…our puppy/fur-baby turns 1 this weekend. My husband has recently had to move away from our home to complete his degree (tear) so our puppy has framed some pictures of our family (& herself) for his first father’s day gift.
