Auto enthusiasts always need "something"
for their cars.
Accessories are the easiest to buy, but for the best surprise, find
out which exact parts or tools they need for the hot rod in the
garage, (ask his friends, or ask his mechanic... do some research, check
his ebay or amazon wish lists, you might give away the surprise if you pretend
to be interested in the car...)

Excerpt from About.com:
Most
DIY's will probably have the basic things they need to work on a car, but
there are still plenty of things they can use. Take a look in the garage,
are there tools scattered all over the place? Do you hear cries of hopelessness
such as "Where is my ½ inch deep socket?" and "Honey, do you have my screwdrivers?"
Well a nice gift would be a tool set that comes with everything needed to
do basic work on a car. This one comes in a handy plastic case that will keep
them organized and he will always know where they are. This is a nice set
that any home mechanic would love to have and it is reasonably priced as well.
For the more advanced DIY, there is another set that has even more tools included in it. Another great gift idea is a set of screwdrivers and pliers. Outside of a good ratchet and sockets, these will be the most used tools in his collection. I'm sure he will be happy to see a complete set of screwdrivers and pliers under the tree this year. If he has an older car that tends to break down at the worst possible time, a portable car tool kit would be a good idea. It has the basics tools to get him going if he is stuck on the side of the road. These sets would be a great gift and something he will use for the whole year.
Let us not forget wrenches. Any mechanic would appreciate a good set of wrenches. Wrenches come in many styles but a set of combination wrenches would be the most useful and most appreciated.
Okay, you say he has tons of tools already. Well how about something to keep them in? Coffee cans are not a very efficient or secure way to store tools, and a pegboard leaves them out in the open making them prone to getting "lost". So maybe that special someone needs a nice toolbox. Toolboxes come in a hundred shapes and sizes. You can get him a small toolbox with a tray for carrying around or a large roll chest and top chest.
If he has a lot of tools, a roll chest would be a great idea. He can keep his tools safe and secure and the top makes a nice workspace. If he has a workbench then maybe a top chest would be better. He can keep everything nicely organized and be able to secure it.
Cordless tools are always a welcome gift. They make work quick and easy and you don't have an annoying power cord to drag around. There are a variety of cordless tools the DIY would love to find under the tree such as a cordless drill or a cordless screwdriver.
Another item that he will appreciate is a good flashlight. Mag-Lite makes just about the best flashlights you can buy. Any DIY would love to find on Christmas morning. They come in sizes from small AA pocket lights to big 6-D cell models.
So maybe he has a bunch of tools but you still want to get him something special for him and his car. A great idea would be a car cover, especially if he has that special car that he babies and has spent many hours working on. Maybe he would like a spoiler to make his car look faster or a new set of custom floor mats. Any of the items I have mentioned would be a great gift for the home mechanic. Vincent T. Ciulla

One year for Easter , Cute for Easter, but also a perfect
gift any time of the year, for any guy with a car... I bought different colored buckets, and filled them with sponges, squeegees, bottles of car wash soap, wax, chamois, etc. This idea works for any gift giving occasion... I also threw in plenty of their favorite seasonal candy. For a more extravagant gift, add a certificate
for auto detailing or an oil change! |
