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 Dad!
Thanks for teaching me how to check the oil in my car, how to start up the lawn-mower, pull up old rugs, and how to ballroom dance. And thanks for loving my husband as much as you love me. [you never really liked any of those *other* boyfriends anyway ;)]
Lindsay says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY, BEN!!! Ben is my hubby, and he is the perfect daddy to our 6 month old daughter, Ansley. It’s his first fathers day! She is a lucky girl, and I am a lucky wife!!! He is the handyman, DIY superman. Plumbing, woodwork, electrical, yardwork, painting, hardwood floor installing, deck building, diaper changing, silly noise making…. He pretty much rocks!!
Trish T. says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BOB!
Thank you for helping me to be the independent woman I am today, and also for the knowledge that however independent I may be, I can always count on you!
Ashley says
Happy Father’s Day Jimmy! My husband is the best dad in the world. He works so hard to take care of us and always has time for us. I love you honey!!!
Laura says
Happy First Father’s Day to my wonderful husband Bob. He has taught our darling daughter Ruby more DIY projects in the past 11 months that some daughters learn in a lifetime. My daughter and I are beyond blessed to have such a handy and amazing man in our lives!
Christine says
Happy Fathers Day Scott!
I love my Dad because he is the goofiest man I know. His sense of humor is sometimes cheezy but it always makes me laugh. From him I have inherited my own sense of humor which is also sometimes cheezy. =o)
Annie says
HAPPY FATHERS DAY BRENT!
Growing up without a father my husband was really worried he wouldn’t be a good dad. He is fantastic with our son and seeing them play and roughhouse and have fun together is the best thing ever, knowing that’s the one thing he didn’t have his whole life.
Katie says
Happy Father’s Day to my amazing dad!!
Kari says
Happy Father’s Day Jeff and John! I will actually be with my dad this father’s day as I am heading back to Minnesota from San Diego for the weekend! Looking forward to grilling out with the family and spending some quality time with the first man I fell in love with!
CarrieK says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY RODERICK!

Laura says
Happy Fathers Day Matt and Dad! I love watching my husband Matt be a father to our daughter and love watching my Dad be a grandfather for the first time.
Aaron says
Happy Father’s Day to my father George, and my father-in-law Tom.
My father isn’t biologically related to me, in fact I’ve never met the man who is… my father is the man who married my mother when I was five and then later legally adopted me. He’s the man that has never treated me as anything other than his own flesh and blood and for that I owe him the world.
Samantha Watson says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad and Mr. Hayworth!
Megan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!
I am lucky that not only is my dad a great father, but a great friend too. We go running together several times a week and just entered a race series together (8 races this summer!) so I think — unless I win! — my father’s day gifts this year will have a running theme.
lindsay Lee says
Happy Fathers Day Dad! You are always there for me by my side. For sure my biggest fan! Lots of love!!
Bri E says
Happy Father’s day Mike, It will be his first this year!
Barb says
Happy Father’s Day, Lee! (He is my soon to be father-in-law)
I love the fact that he has always been so kind and welcoming to me, even though I am a bit shy and hard to get to know. Since my fiance and I live about 9 hours from him will be calling and wishing him a happy day.
JenWoodhouse.com says
Happy Father’s Day Adam! We’re pregnant with our first so this is Adam’s first father’s day!
Amy says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BOB!!!!
My amazing husband works his butt off for our family and so I can stay home with the kids. He is a step father to my son from a previous marriage and Dad to our daughter together. He treats them the same. He is in love with them and even though my son is close to his “real” Dad, he still loves my husband the same. My husband has no qualms about taking off work to come support my son at school events and basketball games or having tea parties with our daughter. He checks on them both a million times each night to make sure they are safe and sound and shows them how to be a good person with good morals and is full of love and respect. Ever since having Sophie, our daughter, he gets so excited when we hear a friend of ours is pregnant and is the first to congratulate them and give them all the hot tips they may need. It’s actually funny, really…
I hit the jackpot with Bob. He is my best friend and the love of my life. My kids are so lucky to have him in their lives. He is a true Dad…
Rachel says
Happy Father’s Day Phil and Tony! Phil, my dad, taught me how to change my oil (among other things), and Tony, my father in-law, generously shares his legal talents when we run into problems as renters! Thanks Dad and Dad in-law!
Whitney says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY JIMBO!
Becky says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Steve!!
Regan says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Geoff!
A perfectly-timed example of his awesomeness just happened this morning. Our 2-yr old is sick with a double ear infection and possible pneumonia. :( And we’ll just say that because of that she’s also not in the best of moods. Our coffee pot broke this morning and mama needed some caffeine BAD and the McDonalds drip coffee wasn’t gonna do it for me. We’ve got tons of coffee shops close to us but the only one with a drive thru is 15 min. away. I didn’t feel like I could take my sweet, yet hacking girl in public yet so I loaded up the sicky in the car for the 15 min. drive. It was a relatively drama-free trip. Grande in hand, we drive back home. I successfully juggle her and the full drink into the house and set the cup down on the desk just inside the door. (Well away from the edge, mind you. Safety first with the scalding coffee!) I bend over to set her down, my bag starts to fall off my shoulder and I hear a dull thump and glug, glug, glug. Yup, every last drop all over the desk & floor. Le sigh.
I call hubby up and he graciously takes a break from work, gets me a coffee & drives it home. My hero! :)
(Sorry for the novel. It’s a silly example really because he’s an awesome husband and father for many, many more important reasons. But…What a guy, right!)
Thanks for the giveaway John and Sherry! :)
Mandy Ford says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Dan! My husband is a stay at home dad to our twins, and he is doing such an amazing job with them. He is such a good role model for our boys and also a wonderful husband. Love you honey!
Cari says
Happy Father’s Day, Jim!
Dad thanks for being such a great example of a hard-working husband and father! I am so proud of you and mom and how many years you’ve been married! Thanks for teaching me what having a dad is all about!
Happy Father’s Day, Mark!
Thanks for being such a wonderful husband and daddy to our 2 year old. She adores you and I love watching the two of you interact. I cannot wait to share many more Father’s Days with the two of you! I Love you!
Nicole B says
Happy Fathers day to my Dad and my lovely husband, Mr. A!
My boys and I will be making some presents for Mr. A! No painted tie (although it’s been debated!). We are making a little trophy for Mr. A to take to work and put on his desk!
Katharine says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY BILL AND KIRT!
My dad is the best example of faithfulness I know. He’s faithful to his family, and faithful to his God. He works hard and listens carefully and he does it so quietly you almost don’t notice.
My father-in-law drives me nuts sometimes, but right now I’ll just remind myself how warmly he welcomed me into to his family, no questions asked, and still does. He’d drop anything to help us if we really needed it.
<3 my dad. <3 my father-in-law.
Jen Gould says

Happy Father’s Day Dad! My Dad has the talent of always knowing just when to step in and help (especially when I’m too stubborn to ask) and when to step back and let me do it myself! Thanks Dad!

Happy Father’s Day Terry! Terry has been a wonderful dad to our five year old daughter. He feels it’s paramount that she sees how a true gentlemen is supposed to treat her one day. They have weekly dates and she’s totally a daddy’s girl. I’ve been so blessed to have such a wonderful father for my daughter!
