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 Todd! You are THE BEST!!
Corissa says
Happy Father’s Day to my dad, Ron. He is the best father a girl could ask for and is even willing to spend part of his father’s day helping us finish our deck.
Lyra Woods says
Happy father’s day Dad (Pat). I couldn’t ask for a better father, your encourgement helped me get through college. I know that at times you feel that you are not like Superman in anyway, but you are to me. . . everyday. I am sorry that Lee blew up the grill and we burnt out the coffeemaker, but we are your children.
Amy says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
I would like to thank my dad for always being there and putting my doll’s heads back on when they fell off, duct taping my a toy together, building a Barbie car out of wood in the garage one day, and tearing apart the VCR when it didn’t work to only put it back together (working perfectly), and a little tub of leftover parts to put on th the shelf. I’m glad I got your DIY attitude…and you bought me a “purse” for my tools when I moved out of your house.
Maggie says
Happy Father’s Day, Courtney!
To my husband, we will celebrate with free pork chops!
Jessica says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Dad (Scotty)! I just have to say, I have the bestest Dad in the whole world! Although we’re not able to spend this weekend together, we’re starting our family vacation next Friday! We’re heading to the Hershey, PA area, and hope to make it to Baltimore, MD before we come home (KY). Should be a great road-trip with the fam! Love to ALL the wonderful Dads out there!
Pam! says
Happy Father’s Day, Jim!
There were a million moments, during that almost 7 year struggle with infertility, that I thought I would never be able to wish you that. Now you’re able to hear those words from 2 miracle sons. (Okay, so WeeTwo may not be able to verbalize it yet, but I know he feels it.)
I love you.
Beverly says
Happy Father’s Day, DAD!!! Love you!
Kristen says
Happy Father’s Day, Jim!
My husband is an amazing father to our 3 small children (and one more on the way)! He has managed to love and support us all, both when he’s here at home and when he’s been deployed to far off places. He’s our rock, he really is. (And he would love BOTH these prizes, since our 2-year-old lawnmower is broken and reportedly can’t be fixed, as they don’t make the necessary parts yet, and our teeny-tiny grill is suddenly a bit small for our growing family!)
Tamara says
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, RASMUS!
Rasmus is my boyfriend’s dad and he is so great! He works SO hard in construction, getting up at 4 am daily. He is also a fascinating person and extremely wise, and we don’t get to see him nearly enough =/
Ginger says

Cheryl says
Happy Fathers Day, Dan!! Thanks for being there to help me with all my home improvement projects!
Ann M says
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!!!
Thank you for making childhood fun, for allowing all of us to use you as a human floatie when you’d take a dip in the ocean, for “hepsy-roodles”, for rallying the family to all wave gregariously when you’d honk at strangers as we drove by! Thank you for scouting out locations and giving up your Saturdays to take us sledding down monster-hills! Thank you for not spoiling me! (Yes, I can say that now!), Thank you for the ritual gift giving upon your returns from business trips (often “airport souvenirs”, but loved all the same). Thank you for giving all your kids special nicknames! Thank you for your love, for your hugs and especially for loving Mom. You set the bar high!!
Ryan says
The # 3 tool box is just awesome if this is the same one with speakers that is at lowes. I have been eying it for a while and it is definetly on want list.
