Whether you’ve known a person your whole life or only have been hanging out for a couple of months, coming up with a gift for them can still be challenging sometimes. But, one thing is for sure, if that friend or loved one is obsessed with his/her car, getting him/her a car related gift isn’t only guaranteed that it would be really appreciated but it will also ensure that you won’t run out of gift ideas for the years to come!
Auto Care Gift Card
Car owners understand how important being up-to-date with their car maintenance but a lot of them either don’t do it unless something is seriously broken or just couldn’t do it regularly because they’re short in cash. It doesn’t matter which side your car loving buddy belongs to or if he/she is maintains his/her ride religiously, receiving an auto car gift card will still be an awesome treat for him/her because car servicing can really costly. Aside from that, what’s great about this is that a gift card lets them handpick the service or repair they want, right when they want it most.
An Interior Tech Gadget
I’m telling you, no car owner can get enough of interior tech gadgets! If they can, they’d buy every gadget there is. But we all know how some of these gadgets can be pricey so that’s probably unlikely for your beloved car enthusiast unless he/she is really loaded. Consider things like GPS trackers, a phone mount, a car charger, or a Bluetooth kit. One tip though, sneak a peek inside their car to make sure you don’t get them something they already have!
Handpicked Car Care Kit
Many stores sell pre-made car care kits, but you can make this idea even more thoughtful by putting together a custom kit for your car lover. For a friend who often takes the road less traveled, things like flares, flashlights, non perishable snacks, and tire sealants might come in handy. For your loved one who treats their car like their baby, consider things like leather cleaner, car wax, scratch remover, and so on.
Lumbar Or Cervical Car Cushion
Sitting for extended period of time is not good for anyone’s back and overall health; however, it has become unavoidable nowadays due to the rising popularity of deskbound jobs as well as long drives to and from work. In that case, what you can do is find a way to make sitting less of a torture for that friend that you know drives a lot. A good idea for this is by getting him/her a lumbar or cervical car cushion.
Rooftop Cargo Bins
If you’re trying to buy a gift for your outdoorsy type of friend who likes to drive everywhere when he/she travels, this is a good one. Most often than not, this kind of friend struggle with cargo space since he/she tend to carry a lot of stuff around, all the time. So getting this as a gift will make his/her life easier by having more space in his/her car.
A Dashcam
A car dashcam is a fantastic gift. On a good day, it can be used to capture and commemorate particularly beautiful and memorable drives over the hills and through woods. On a bad day, it can be used as evidence in a car accident – the recording can prove who was (and wasn’t) at-fault. Make sure that A) mounted dash cams are legal in your state and B) the camera isn’t one that will obstruct their view of the road. Then keep your fingers crossed that it only gets used for the fun stuff!
Portable Tire Pump
Who hasn’t had a moment of frustration with a flat tire before? Basically anyone who drives a car can relate to this. This makes portable tire pump available, whenever the situation calls for it, a heaven sent. Car repair shops aren’t always available, so it’d be better if a car owner can fend for his/her own tires with a portable tire pump.
Battery Jumpstart Kit
Just like getting a flat tire in the middle of the road, being stranded with a dead battery sucks. Having these bad boys in your car lover’s will save his/her day. Getting this as a gift will definitely be appreciated because it will at least let your loved one get by and look for the nearest car repair if the case of his/her battery is more complex.
