Amazing Gift Ideas For Car Lovers!

It’s the holiday season again! Delicious meals, family time, beautiful decorations, and arguably the best music of all time. And with this wonderful time of year comes the struggle to find a great gift for Christmas…or Hanukkah…or Kwanza…or birthdays. Eeek! It really is a daunting task, but luckily for you, I happen to be a pro at gift-giving. I will share all my great gift idea with you!

Growing up, finding a gift for my father was always the hardest because he is a car guy. What did 17-year-old me know about cars? Absolutely nothing. I didn’t know the difference between blinker fluid and horn oil, so gift buying was difficult. If you don’t know the difference, then thank goodness you are here!

Flash forward 10 years, and ironically I now have 4 car people in my life. My father, fiance, younger brother, and fiance’s father are all car guys. Now half of all the gifts I buy are for car people. Fortunately, I have picked up a few things from listening to shop talk and even spending some time under the hood with my hubby.

Here are a few gifts that are usually a hit for car lovers:

1. Car Cleaning Kits

Car cleaning kits are a pretty safe bet. They usually range in price from $40 to $150 depending on the brand and kit. My father and fiance’s father prefer Meguiar’s car cleaning products while my fiance likes the Armor All products. But my younger brother has no preference at all as long as he gets to use his foam cannon. A quick peek into the garage can give you an idea of what they use.

2. Mugs

I know a mug seems like a very unoriginal gift that you could get for anybody, but some of the car-themed mugs are super cool. I’ve bought mugs for all the guys and they loved them. The tire mug will actually be the gift for my fiance this year. Just don’t tell him!

3. Wireless Car Charger

You can’t really go wrong with phone accessories for your car as a gift. Most people don’t go anywhere without their phones, so they are handy tools for everyone.

4. Portable Tools

Portable tools are super helpful for those who spend a lot of time in their car or truck. These are so handy on road trips, long commutes, and even around-town driving. They now make tons of tools portable, but I find the vacuums, power packs, and tire air pumps to be the most useful.

5. Car Wall Art

You can find some really cool kinds of wall art for car lovers. Amazon has a few things that are pretty cool, but Etsy is the way to go to get some really great original pieces.

6. Car Apparel

Clothes are a great way to go and there are always so many options. Funny t-shirts, sweatshirts with brands, and hats are really easy to find. You can find their favorite car brand on almost anything.

7. Watches

This is not a gift for everybody, but for the right person, it is a huge hit. My best friend bought a Ferrari watch for her husband and he LOVED it! Some of these watches tend to be a bit pricey, but they are really nice and definitely worth it.

8. Yeti Products

I know that Yeti seems very vague, but you really can’t go wrong with them. They have products for so many different people. Coolers, mugs, cups, clothes, and bags are all known for being really great quality. The coolers are great for the bed of trucks and so many of the mugs and bottles are customizable.
