Christmas Gifts to get the Gear Head in Your Life
If you are anything like me, you have a lot of people in your life that are gear heads, and with Christmas coming around very soon, you still have no idea what to get them. This week’s post is sure to give you a couple of ideas that are easy to come by last minute while still not breaking the bank to surprise them. Time to tap into your creative mind!
1. Personalized Wall Art
Posters are always a great inexpensive gift for someone. It will mean a lot more if they are personalized and this doesn’t necessarily mean having the persons name engraved on it. The poster can be one that reminds the person of something; a picture of their current or dream car, or even a significant historical event that they can remember. Not to mention it would make a fun addition to a room, garage or workshop.
2. Composition Notebook
For a gearhead who likes to write, this gift idea would be perfect! Whether it will be used for brainstorming ideas on future modifications or simply goals that they set for themselves to reach for future happiness, it will definitely be used. Plus, the cover art (depending on where you purchase the notebook from), can be customized to feature the dream car of the receiver.
3. Car Related Apparel
Who wouldn’t love to walk around sporting their favourite car on a t-shirt, sweater, jacket, hat, or socks? Car related apparel is such a great gift and there are so many different places you can find these items. Plus they make great stocking stuffers. You can’t go wrong with this gift, just make sure to pick the right company.
4. Floor Mat Coasters
Nothing reminds a gearhead more of their car than a floor mat coaster would. It is guaranteed to be something that the person will use and they will be very happy with their gift. Keeping their space around them as clean as they keep their car is important to them and surely this gift will be appreciated.
5.Car Lego Sets
I have to say as a car lover, I decided to buy the Nissan Nismo GTR Lego set for myself and had a lot of fun building it. This gift is perfect for all ages and can really bring people together. Think of it as a puzzle for big kids! Not to mention among the cars in this collection, some are rarer to see on the streets which makes this gift even more special. But make sure to clear a big space around the house after it’s assembled so you can keep adding to the collections (or at least dropping hints for future gift ideas).
6. “Car” Wall Shelf
At the end of a hard day’s work (trying to make money for future car-related purchases) there’s nothing better than coming home to a shelf dedicated to reminding you of why you work so hard. Now, it might not be the only thing driving the person to work, but as a gearhead, you have a pretty safe chance of being right saying that. A “car” wall shelf is the perfect gift for the gearhead who likes to collect mementos. It can also be used for displaying those Car Lego Sets that they have yet to receive as well as keys, pictures of cars, books, and racing gear just to name a few.
7. Go Kart Experience
Go Karting is a great way to spend an afternoon with family or friends and given the fact that they allow kids as young as 5 and up to participate, no one will feel left out. A Go Karting experience is a perfect gift for an adventurous group and a good time is always guaranteed. But this is not for the faint-hearted, so remember to pack your bravery, because it surely can become an addicting experience.
8. Car Audio and Speakers
Every single gearhead will love you for life if you helped them purchase some car equipment. Trust me. Audio is one of a gearheads biggest wish listed items when it comes to their car just because it can get a little pricey. If you don’t know specifically what brand of audio your gearhead likes, why not see if you can purchase a gift card to a store that sells them?
9. Dream Racing Experience in Las Vegas
Dreams really can come true and this gift idea proves it. Although this gift idea may be the most expensive one on this list, it really is something that you have to experience for yourself. The experience allows you to drive real performance cars around an actual track. This is a great way to be able to tell people that you drove a Ferrari 458 or a Lamborghini Hurican (even if it were just for a certain time) and pay nowhere near the actual price for the respective vehicles.
10. Customized Knob Shift
Scrolling through Instagram I came across a couple of really nice looking knob shifts that were actually customizable. Pricing varies from design to design and are based on the specifications you request. Check out https://customshiftdesigns.com/ for ideas and to order today! The owner recommends that you message them through Instagram to place your custom orders, so don’t wait!
Well I don’t know about you, but I feel so much better about gifting those gearheads something in my life after going through this list. Make sure to follow us over on the socials (if you haven’t already) and share your thoughts about this post by commenting on our socials.
