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.

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?

    Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thanks for passing along your (sometimes slightly twisted :o) ) sense of humor and the love of driving just to “get lost” and find new out-of-the-way places.

    Happy Father’s Day Ken. Thanks for all the stuff you do around the house. What better way to spend Father’s Day than with your family and closest friends on a camping trip?

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY MATT!!

    With a baby still cooking in the oven, I thought it would be appropriate to keep it simple, but still acknowledge the holiday. So, I will get my husband a camo onsie (he loves hunting and was originally hoping for a little boy…but it’s a girl), and a card to commemorate the day.

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Grandpa Charlie and Scott.

    I don’t get to be lucky enough to spend time with my father for father’s day because he’s never actually wanted to be a part of my life because he can’t love anyone besides himself, but I got lucky enough to have a step-grandfather who loves me and my family like his very own. He lost his own daughter so I like to try to make sure he knows he’s an amazing person on Father’s Day. I’m still not sure what to get him, but I hope to find the perfect gift soon. I also have a stepfather who has been really good to me and I hope he knows it!

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JEREMY!

    Jeremy, my partner, and I recently welcomed our son on May 3rd. It’s our first Fathers Day and we’re just over the moon. We never thought we’d be able to start a family, so we’re still in awe every day that we wake up to our son’s smiling little face.

    Life is good. :)

    Happy Father’s Day Dad (Tom), Jack and Woody! Also a pseudo happy father’s day to my hubs, Erik, for being protective, already, of our little one on the way. We are lucky enough to have 3 sets of parents looking out for us, supporting us, and also excited about the future little Williams.

    Happy Father’s day, Bill!

    You are a wonderful husband and incredible stay at home dad for sweet Amelia, but this comment is really going out to my dad, who patiently taught me how to replace a glass pane on the windows for our nearly 300 year old house (built 1737)–I couldn’t have been more than 7 but you somehow thought I would be interested, which I was—to this day I remember standing at your workbench and getting my first taste (and love) of everything DIY! Thanks, dad!

    Happy Father’s Day Cory!

    This year, the wonderful father of our little family will be celebrating in our new home. In the cross-country move, Cory had to sacrifice his motorcycle as there simply was not an inch of space left in our moving van. Our new home needs a lot of TLC, so instead of replacing his prized possession, he’ll recieve a motorcycle piggy bank, dedicated to raising funds for the cause. The only other thing he’s EVER mentioned wanting: a new grill. :)

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD – though you may not be with us anymore for 23 years you were the best DAD ever and 13 years later your wisdom and advice stills guides my decision making, though your DIY skills might not have been your forte, at least I have YHL to help with that now;-)

    Happy Father’s Day Dad… thanks for all the support and love over the years.. I would not be the woman today without you.

    He will be getting a card… and maybe the grill if I win… the mower will be mine since he already has a riding mower that he loves.
