Best Holiday Gifts For Car Enthusiasts In 2024
Everybody loves receiving a gift and with the holiday season around the corner, we’re here to help you find the perfect gift for the car enthusiast family member, buddy, or co-worker. Automotive fans can be hard to shop for if you’re not the biggest car lover, so if you’re feeling a little lost on what holiday gift to get for that car enthusiast, don’t worry, we have you covered. We’ve picked 10 of the coolest gifts that we know someone special will love. From collectibles to furniture pieces and tech gadgets, let’s get shopping!
1) Motorsport Apparel
Clothing is always a great gift idea – why not buy them their favorite automotive-branded T-Shirt or jacket to wear? Buying a fashion piece shows that you’ve got an eye for detail as to what that person really likes. Are they an avid Ferrari fan? How about a Ferrari jacket? Whatever piece you choose, automotive fashion is a wearable gift that will be enjoyed for years to come.
2) Track Day Experience
An adrenaline-filled track day will be a memory never forgotten. From the build-up to the big day, this is the ultimate gift idea. And what better location than the Homestead-Miami Speedway. This South Florida speedway boasts 13-turns and is combined with a fully-fledged NASCAR track to give you the thrill of high-speed straights and skillful cornering. Just book on your most preferred date and start choosing from a list of dream cars.
3) Preventative Maintenance Package
This is a thoughtful gift that will keep on giving. Every car requires scheduled maintenance to keep it in perfect running condition. Different manufacturers specify different service intervals, which the following checks:
- Manufacturer specific oil and filter change
- On-board diagnostic system checks
- Fluid inspection and replacement
- Brake and tire inspection and servicing
- Wiper blade inspection and replacement
- Engine and passenger air filter inspection and change
This gift can vary according to your budget, and you could purchase a single interval service or a service plan. It’s an automotive gift that will ensure that your recipient’s car is maintained and cared for. If someone special drives a distinctive European car, be sure to purchase a European Auto scheduled maintenance package.
4) Coffee Table Book
An iconic supercar coffee table book will never go out of style. Once you know what car brand someone special loves, it’s as easy as choosing the most suited book. Is your boss a Porsche fan? How about The Porsche 911 Book: New Revised Edition? Or how about a coffee table book on Italian supercars for your partner?
Alternatively, you could consider a car magazine subscription. This could be a one-year print subscription or a digital subscription if they prefer. This thoughtful idea will be enjoyed for months on end, and you could even look at renewing the subscription if it’s a hit.
5) Crest Key Ring
Looking for a more budget-friendly gifting idea? A crest key ring always evokes that sense of brand loyalty and pride in the recipient. Who wouldn’t want a branded crest to match with their car of choice? How about a genuine leather Audi keychain set? Or a Mercedes keyless remote fob cover? With so many key rings and key fob covers to choose from, you’ll be able to find a thoughtful gift that will be used daily.
6) Car Collectibles
The global automotive die-cast model market size was a staggering $3,633 million in 2022 and is growing exponentially. Why not gift that special person with a scaled collectible and get them in on the action? Matchbox has recently celebrated 70 years of tiny car manufacturing and boasts over 15,000 models. Whether you just want to buy a fun tiny car or a valuable collectible that could stand as an investment, die-cast models will always be appreciated and enjoyed by automotive fans.
7) Engine Block Coffee Table
Looking for that standout gift? Why not gift that die-hard car enthusiast with a furniture piece that will turn heads? This engine-block coffee table comes with a glass top for maximum visibility. It’s a centerpiece item and a definite conversation starter. Just a heads-up, if you’re buying this for a friend with a family, you may first want to check with their partner if the coffee table will fit in aesthetically. This is a discerning gift that will be enjoyed by a niche automotive fan.
8) Car Vacuum Cleaner
If the person you’re shopping for is a car fanatic, they’ll want to keep their car’s interior clean and spotless. A portable 12V vacuum is also useful for young families who may have to deal with ongoing food spills in the car. Whether it’s some spilled peanuts or some dirt on a car mat, a car vacuum will come in handy. Simply plug the vacuum into the car’s 12V socket to charge up for a quick clean.
9) Apple AirTag
If your car enthusiast tends to lose their car keys, this will ensure that it never happens again. An AirTag is an affordable way to save your friend the hassle of having to find their lost keys. You can also buy an AirTag holder so that it can easily be placed on a key ring.
10) Inflatable Car Cover
This ingenious design upgrades your car cover to a protective bubble. A self-regulating pump is fed with fresh air and includes a carbon filter. This means your loved one’s car will enjoy 360 degree protection from dust, moisture, and pests. It also looks pretty cool once inflated.
