Father’s Day is around the corner and if you’re lucky enough to have Dad or Grandpa in your life you are probably stressing out about getting the perfect gift for him. Maybe you don’t want to give him yet another tie. If so, here are some awesome Father’s Day gift ideas sure to propel you into the #1 Favorite Child spot.

Show colors for Dad’s college! Sure, you don’t want to point out how long it’s been since Dad graduated from UNC, Clemson, Virginia Tech, NC State or one of the many other schools that are represented on Blackhawk’s shelves. However, everyone loves celebrating their favorite school on Father’s Day and year round. We carry tons of collegiate items from grilling tools to Tervis tumblers to giant bins, come pick-up something for Dad!

Collegiate Grill Tools

Does Dad love fishing? Or boating? Or tailgating? Or camping? Or – you get what I’m saying and I’m sure if that’s your Dad he would love to keep his cool (and more important his drinks, catch, and food’s cool!)  in the hot Carolina summer ahead. Fear not, we carry Yeti coolers. The ultra-durable cooler that is proven to keep ice longer. They come in all sorts of sizes so you can pick up just the one that Dad would love the most.

At some point Dad might want to grill the fish he hopefully caught and we’ve got something for him then, too. You know we are the largest authorized Weber and Big Green Egg dealer in the Carolinas so needless to say there has to be a pitch for that in our suggestions for Father’s Day. BUY A GRILL FOR YOUR DAD! DO YOU NOT LOVE HIM? OK end of no-shame plug. In all honesty, I do love the little Big Green Egg. It let’s Dad bring the smokey juiciness that he is used to from his Egg at home to fishing trips and tailgates. It’s so hard to go back to regular grilled burgers once you’ve tasted one made on the Big Green Egg. Alas, small Big Green Egg would be a great gift for Dad this year. Trust me.

If Mom has already bought Dad a grill, fear not, we’ve got tons and tons of grilling accessories. Why not fill a bucket or basket with his favorite grill sauces and rubs or get him an iGrill Bluetooth Connected Thermometer? Save the other idea for his birthday and you are all set. I’m telling you, the best thing about someone owning a grill – you are set on gifts for a long time.

What would be really sweet was if you grabbed those bottles of grilling sauces and rubs and gave them to your father in this fierce Carolina Panthers tool box. It’s like a gift basket but manly. One of our awesome customers actually suggested using it for tailgating instead of tools: Arrange some snacks in the top compartment and keep the beer cans in the bottom. Genius!

PS: Don’t forget the card! Thankfully we have those, too, making Blackhawk Hardware your one-stop shopping trip for Dad.

Above all, remember, the biggest gift is quality time and we sincerely hope you have a chance to spend loads of that with your father, grand-father, step-father, adoptive father or who ever else has been a great dad for you. Much love from the Blackhawk!
