10 Holiday Gifts for PetrolHeads

10 Holiday Gifts for PetrolHeads

Once again, the holiday season is approaching and the game of planning out what to buy for your relatives, friends, co-workers and the neighbours is becoming a little too much to handle. If there’s one thing petrol heads are huge fans of, it’s motors or anything to do with them, for that matter. Christmas doesn’t have to be a time for giving to get back, you could always surprise a dear motor lover with something fabulous this year.

Gecko Pad

Gecko Pad

Whether they’re guilty of leaving their phone on the dashboard or they know the ‘slip ‘n’ slide’ routine all too well, we have all been there before. There’s nothing more annoying, especially on the road than having your mobile phone scrape around in front of your very eyes and there’s really nothing you can do about it, am I right? If you were to rustle up a list of the things that drive motorists insane, I’ll bet this one’s at the top! But the Gecko Pad is the answer and at around £9 here in the UK, it’d make the perfect low-cost Christmas present for any petrol head.

 Handpresso Coffee Maker

Handpresso Coffee Maker

Who doesn’t love coffee on the go? You’d be lying if you told yourself that you don’t like coffee at home or at work, let alone on the road. Well, some wonderful company has come up with a solution to having to take the time to stop and pick a coffee up on your way around; the Handspresso Coffee Maker is fantastic value for money and would make the perfect gift, too. Granted, it might cost you £100, but just think of how much money you’d save by not having to buy it on the move.

 

Duronic Wind-Up Torch

Duronic wind-up torch

Things can happen when you least expect them to, and in the worst case, you could end up stranded at the side of the road in the middle of winter. Should this happen to you, you’re going to want and need the quickest source of light you can get, and frankly, there’s nothing more reliable than a Duronic wind-up torch. Whenever you don’t need it, the battery shuts off and doesn’t use any more power, but when you need it, you wind it up to keep the light beaming in the right direction – it’s as simple as that!

 Black and Decker Car Vacuum

Black and Decker Car Vacuum

Fair enough, winter drains the passion we once had for cleaning our cars and making sure they’re as gleaming as they were when we bought them, am I right? It’s a good job we can use Christmas as an excuse to buy cool car gadgets and cleaning tools without having a dig at those we buy them for! It’s mischievous, sure, but it’s the subtlest way of hinting to somebody that their cleanliness is disappointing.
