Well hello there Your Highness the Queen City! I was tickled thrilled to find a whole display of chic Charlotte and North Carolina souvenir gifts at Blackhawk Hardware. The best: They weren’t tacky!!!
I completely fell in love with the graphic adorning coasters, dish towels, bottle openers, coozies, mugs and cups: The full moon shining over Charlotte’s skyline with a jet flying by is epic! The perfect mix of retro and modern. It reminds me a bit of the flashy airline posters from the golden age of flying. Make sure you pick some of these Charlotte pieces up while they last!
We’ve also expanded on the Charlotte ornament exclusively designed for Blackhawk Hardware by Susannah Brinkley. Now you get to showcase Queen Charlotte’s crown all year long with fun coasters, tumblers and coozies! An essential in any Charlotte home if you ask me. We also have cute car coasters that protect your cup holders from moisture.
Of course we don’t just love the city of Charlotte but we love the state of North Carolina. If you are looking to bring a piece of local flavor to out of state hosts, I recommend Chapel Hill Toffee. It is addictingly delicious and only made with ingredients you can pronounce. It goes well with a cup of tea sweetened with a drop of the local honey, also available at Blackhawk Hardware in Dilworth.
Other awesome state-themed gifts include our NC shaped bamboo cutting board and No Kidding North Carolina goat milk soap in tons of scents. They are made right up the street in Davidson, NC. My favorites are “Rosemary” and “Lemongrass Honey Oatmeal”. Come in and find yours!
