Greatest Christmas Gifts For Car Lovers

‘Tis The Season To Be Driving

There are always car lovers who would like nothing more than a few car toys or “accessories” this Christmas season. Accordingly, we’ll try and give you a few ideas to help stimulate your imagination in this writing!

Steering Wheel And Seat Covers

This one’s a bit basic, but it’s a good one: seat covers protect leather, and beyond leather, they’ll protect any sort of seat. It’s not just spills and scratches that need protection; the sun will come through the windshield and contribute to discoloration in seating. Seat covers help prevent this, and they can even be more comfortable than the seats without the covers.

Similarly, you can protect the steering wheel while making it more comfortable through varying steering wheel covers. These come in all manner of styles and design configurations; match such accessories to the vehicle owner for best results.

Bluetooth Radio Transmitters

For between $10 and $100, depending on the sort of accessory you buy, you can purchase a bluetooth radio transmitter accessory for your vehicle. Now, newer cars won’t need this; but older vehicles without smartphone connectivity will have no other way to get the phone’s sound through the car’s speakers. 

Most smartphones don’t have a 1/8th inch headphone jack for the cassette-tape connectors we used in the nineties. Meanwhile, for $40, you can pick up a bluetooth transmitter that funnels your phone’s sound through bluetooth to a radio signal you can tune into on your car’s radio receiver. Suddenly you can listen to YouTube podcasts, or whatever floats your boat.

Tire Pressure Gauges

These are great, practical, needed stocking stuffers. For about a buck you can get one, they basically connect right to your tires and push out a little toggle indicating tire pressure. You can find them in most gas stations, and since they’re easy to lose, it’s not a bad idea to give this to one of your car friends every year.

Smartphone Holders

Everybody uses smartphones for navigation these days. The thing is, they don’t always use them safely. There are smartphone holders which exist that can simply be plugged into the lighter socket of the vehicle, and feature a flexible arm and a magnet that can be used to mount a smartphone for more safe usage while a person drives.

Cleaning Supplies

ArmorAll, wipes, window cleaning solution, leather-preserving chemicals, and even hydrophobic nanoparticle coatings can all be fine gift options for the car enthusiast in your life. Find which of these are locally available, or order online if that’s more your style.

Car Covers

Vehicular covers help protect vehicles which spend significant time in storage, or which are so good looking, they virtually demand such care when parked in a garage. You can find these at local department stores or online, and if you’ve got a car lover in your family who doesn’t have a cover for their vehicle, this is a practical gift they’ll enjoy.
