Does he have a need for speed? Is she a fan of the TV series Top Gear?
No worries, the Courier has compiled a comprehensive list of gifts for the car or truck enthusiast in every household.
Even if you’re ordering online, there’s still time to get those Mustang cufflinks under the tree before Christmas.
Automotive cufflinks
Ideal for the sharp-dressed man in your life who’s also an auto enthusiast. While there are plenty of places to find unique, auto-related cufflinks, including Etsy, the online site Just Cufflinks offers one-stop shopping for emblems and logos including Porsche, Ford, Volvo, Mack, Route 66, Mercedes and even tiny little tow trucks. Prices start at about $45 US at justcufflinks.com.
Ferrari-inspired wallet
These holders, inspired by the iconic Ferrari 250 GTO, feature a hand-stitched diamond pattern and are available as a credit card holder, wallet and coin purse starting at $163.50 USD. Visit gtolondon.com.
Tires
While tires might not sound like the sexiest gift in the world, there’s a chance those pieces of rubber will be the difference between your kids making it to the ski hill or calling you for help half-way there. Or for that matter, from sliding into the bus lane on Broadway at a completely inappropriate time. Consider tires the gift of peace of mind — yours.
Tesla watch
This steampunk-inspired watch combines weathered brass and a pair of faux vacuum tubes with a thick, layered leather strap. The tubes contain red LED lights that can be turned on and off by flicking a switch at the top of the watch. Additional features include ornamental winding keys that store in the watch band, Japanese analog movement and a 304 stainless steel case housing it. For $69.99 at thinkgeek.com.
Lamborghini Aventador
Well, at least an opportunity to drive a Lamborghini Aventador and strike that item off your bucket list. Anyone heading to Vegas in early 2016 with an automotive enthusiast will win the holidays by giving the gift of speed. SPEEDVEGAS gift cards are now available online starting at $49 US, for models including the Corvette Z06 and Shelby GT, to $99 for the Lambo, which accelerates from zero to 100 in 2.9 seconds. Visit
speedvegas.com.
