Are you looking for the perfect gift for the auto enthusiast in your family? Since wrapping a new transmission, set of tires, or engine and placing it under the tree is a bit impractical, here are 10 great ideas for auto-related stocking stuffers for the auto enthusiast, or even the everyday driver, this holiday season.
- Ice scraper: Most people have had the same old-and probably ineffective-ice scraper for years, so this a great opportunity to give a new, more effective one.
- Digital tire pressure gauge: It’s the 21st century, so why not upgrade your auto enthusiast to a digital tire gauge that’s easy to use and accurate?
- Car air fresheners: This gift idea may seem a little lame, but think about it: How often does anyone go to the store just to buy car air fresheners? The few times that people do buy them, they’re a spontaneous, impulse buy. So purposefully giving car air fresheners can be a thoughtful and helpful stocking stuffer.
- Phone holder: Phone holders generally are inexpensive and easy to install, plus they’re handy and can keep a smartphone from sliding between the seat and the center console.
- Spill-proof travel mug: Is a member of your family always spilling their coffee during their morning commute? A spill-proof coffee mug will solve this problem and also save their car interior from stains.
- Headlight defogger kit: Over time, headlights fog up easily and can become tinted yellow, decreasing the quality of light for night driving. A defogger kit can quickly restore headlights so they look new again.
- Car trash can: Does a member of your family have a terrible habit of leaving trash in their car and never picking it up? Get them a car trash can, and after about a week, I’m sure you’ll notice a difference.
- Dashboard duster: Who really takes the time-or really has the time-to clean their dashboard? However, if you give the gift of a dashboard duster this holiday season, you’ll absolutely see it put to good use, and all of your family’s vehicles will have clean dashboards.
- Funnel set: Every do-it-yourself auto enthusiast cycles through funnels quickly. Funnel sets these days come in both simple and advanced forms, depending on what’s needed to complete certain repairs. A new funnel set is thoughtful and can go a long way for self-repairers.
- Gift certificates: If you’re torn between gifts or just can’t seem to find the right one for the auto lover in your family, gift certificates are always a winner.
If you’re looking for gifts for car lovers, these small auto stocking stuffers can make a big impression this holiday season.
