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 ERIC!!!
My husband, Eric, will be celebrating his very first Father’s Day this Sunday. Nobody gives raspberries like him. Nobody plays airplane like him. Nobody makes a diaper change more fun…and no daddy is loved more. It’s the simple things. :)
Ashley W says
Happy Father’s Day Dad!!
You are a great dad to me, and an even better grandpa to the kids.
Cat says
Happy Father’s Day, Ted!
For anyone who’s not lucky enough to know my dad, he’s an amazing man. Dad survived a gunshot to the face, bacterial meningitis, 4 crazy kids who turned his hair grey, countless neurosurgeries and losing his baby (me) to the mountains of Virginia. Through out everything, he’s been the optimistic jokester in the family who taught every one of us kids that we can do anything for ourselves… even if that meant calling him at 3 AM during a full scale re-pipe to get a “walk through” on how to stop a major leak. (Some where in between his laughter, he did tell me how to fix it.) He’s still in Michigan, and I haven’t been able to see him in a few years – but the phone has kept me tethered to my family up there. And sometimes, it’s those phone calls with Dad that remind me why I’m willing to tackle challenges – because Dad said I could do anything I set my mind to… and after all, father knows best, right? Happy Father’s Day, Daddy. I love you.
Abby says

I’m going to buy my dad a giftcard to do something he’s talked about doing for years. Seriously, for years my dad has talked about going rafting and yet he still hasn’t gone. So, I’m buying him a giftcard because that way he’ll finally go.

Chuck, who brought me discarded computer punch cards for craft projects when I was a kid, and now brings me 1.5 L bottles of tequila when he visits. That’s the mark of a good Dad – he knows the perfect gift for each age.

Katrina says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY RONALD!
My father was always working on projects in the garage and around the house and although we would constantly mock him for his need to ‘modify’ things to his specific liking, I now find myself using the word and philosophy often to tweak something I have or find into something better.
Thanks dad!
cassie says
oh we could definitely use this! and i LOVE grilled food, so it would be win win for me and my husband!
Tony says
Happy fathers day to my dad Dom and my FIL Frank!
Kara Lee says
Happy Father’s Day Dad (Donnie)!
Your twin brother may be a carpenter, but when you married Mom, she was the only one with a tool set… You made up for it by buying us a house to grow up in with an (already built) treehouse :)
I still remember our “father-daughter” dates. There is no greater love than taking your 8 year old to fancy bridal boutiques and convincing the saleswomen to let her try a couple gowns on….
Maria says
Happy Father’s Day papa!! I love my dad so much and wish that I could be with him on Father’s day, but unfortunately he is many miles away. He is the greatest dad in the world!!!
Michelle Manni says
Happy Father’s Day, Daddy (John)!
Nobody has helped me through life like he has!!! He has been a shoulder to cry on, a great motivator and just a great Dad!!! Plus…I know for a fact he was looking a new grill last weekend!!! So that would be really cool if he won!!!
Melissa says
Happy Father’s Day to my husband, a (hopefully) soon-to-bed dad. He has supported me through all of our infertility struggles, and I know that whenever we do get pregnant, he will be the best daddy a kid could ever ask for. I look forward to the day when he gets to hold his child in his arms, and I can see the awe in his eyes as he looks at our first born.
Jay says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY ERNEST!!!!!! You are the best dad ever.
melinda K E says
Happy Father’s Day Rogelio and Jerry! I wish I could be there to celebrate with you guys, you both deserve to have a wonderful Father’s Day!
Amber says
Happy Father’s Day to my hubby. He really is the father to our two spoiled but loyal DOGS, and does a great job.

Happy Father’s Day Mark and Ed! From coast to coast you are the best!

Happy Father’s Day Justin!
