Let’s first take a moment to reminisce on just how great dad’s are. Dad’s were the one’s holding us up the first time our training wheels came off our Barbie bicycles. They made an effort to attend every single sporting event…even if we never made it off the bench. Dad’s surprised us with a clean car some sunny Saturday mornings. Most importantly, our dad’s dedicated their lives as living, breathing examples of everything we hope to be when we grow up. With such special men in our lives, it’s no wonder they are so hard to shop for. Dad’s deserve it all this Father’s Day. Whether you want to spoil your husband for everything he does or invest in a sentimental gesture for your own father, here are Scoop’s picks for what to give dad on June 18.
Blackhawk Hardware
Nothing puts a smile on dad’s face quite like hardware, grilling, tools, birdhouses and every-possible-thing in between. Blackhawk’s unique and expansive assortment will have you wandering the aisles of their Park Road Shopping Center location for hours, eating popcorn and buying things for yourself too. Blackhawk customer service is second to none. If you are struggling on what to pick, let their experts posted up at the end of the aisles help.
Topgolf
Topgolf is open just in time for Father’s Day! Spoil him with a round at Charlotte’s newest 65.000 square foot destination for ultimate golf, games, food and fun. Topgolf has options of both an e-gift certificate and mailed gift cards with three convenient shipping methods. If dad wants quality family time this Father’s Day, look no further. If dad is planning on spending a lot of time at the new facility, a Topgolf membership would be a golden gift.
Escape Rooms
Codescape, Escape Hour, Exit Strategy – pick your poison in this fun filled hour of teamwork. Grab dad and the family for some quality time solving Charlotte’s most intense riddles to escape themed rooms. Levels of difficulty range to create fun for everyone. Escape rooms are notorious for featuring deals on Groupon if you’re looking to save a bit. These challenges will run anywhere from $20-$30 per person.
Kinetic Heights
It only makes sense that the best gift for dads was created by dads. Back in 2013, a couple of friendly guys got together to create Kinetic Heights, a place that allows you to “play bigger, reach higher and live bolder.” The playspace offers both high and low courses for both individuals, families and teams to climb, roll, and make their way through life-size obstacles. Kinetic Heights is currently running a special of 42 days for $42 so you can spoil dad without breaking the bank.
Onward Reserve
Onward Reserve is way ahead of us with their own Father’s Day Gift Guide. Shop the best gifts for dads without having to step foot outside of your home! Save $10 off your first $50 purchase online. For those of us that like instant gratification, Onward Reserve is located at Park Road Shopping Center. Look for the hard to miss wooden exterior that just screams “we’ve got father’s day covered.”
Diamonds Direct
Looking to spoil dad this Father’s Day? Diamonds Direct knows the finer things in life and is committed to helping you find the perfect gift within any budget. This year, Diamond’s Direct recommends a Maurice Lacroix watch. In the 1990’s Lacroix created a watch that was immediately recognized by all who saw it.

Clean Catch Seafood Market
Grab some of the QC’s best seafood and treat dad to a break from the typical burgers when you grill out with the fam for Father’s Day this year.
