Why generic gifts fail for a Charlotte man

Men with a real connection to Charlotte — grew up there, work in banking or uptown, or just genuinely love the city — tend to see through generic Queen City magnets fast. Specific beats generic.

12 Charlotte gifts for him

1. A 3D Charlotte skyline sculpture — the Bank of America Corporate Center's crown and One Wells Fargo Center in matte black, a genuine desk or shelf piece he'll actually display.
