Tis the season. It’s that time of year where every loved one of a car guy or gal is frustrated by the question, ‘What do I get them for Christmas?’ Typically us car folks kind of get ourselves what we want, and the things that we haven’t gotten yet are usually because they can be rather pricey. So I’ve put together a list of the Top 10 Car Guy Christmas Gifts list. When I say car guy I mean car guy or gal, and I’ll be looking over my own list to get a couple special car folks something great for Christmas.

10. Subscription to their favorite magazine.

All car folk have their favorite cars, and I haven’t met any yet that don’t enjoy looking at photos of cars and reading stories about them, heck that’s kind of why I do this website. With that in mind, here’s a list of some magazines that I know personally and that I personally recommend. There are other’s of course, these are just the ones that I wouldn’t mind seeing subscriptions to in my stocking this year.

9. Toys

Okay, so for most of you that don’t fully get our love of the car, we might be all covered up in toys already, but we love toys of all sizes. I’d like to suggest die cast versions of the real thing. We can’t all afford a 32 Ford, but a die cast version we should all be able to fit in our garages. Some great options are listed below, click on the photo for more info on Amazon (if you do purchase something from Amazon through these links I will get a small commission, won’t cost you a dime 🙂 )

8. Photos of their ride.

Most of us end up parting ways with our cars to build the next one. Decades later all we are left with are the photos of the cars we used to own. So having a great photo of your ride made is always a good idea, someday that may be how you relive the glory days of that ride. With over 60,000 images from all over the country there’s a chance that I have photos of your car guy or gal’s ride already in my gallery. Click here to see the entire Royboy Productions gallery. You can even have a custom photo shoot done just like I do for the magazines by using the Contact form at the top of the page.

Some other great photographers to check out for this are:

7. Tools.

If you’re a car nut you need tools to work on your cars. The problem with tools as a gift is that most car guys have all the tools that they can afford, so your best bet here is to sneak a peek at their tool boxes and figure out which brand your loved one loves and give them a gift certificate to that company. Good tools aren’t cheap and your favorite car nut would much prefer a little help getting their next tool than have a cheap one break the second time that they use it! SnapOn, Mac, Craftsman, Kobalt, there are a ton of tool companies out there, and far too many tools by each of them to list them here.

6. Parts!

Along with all of those tools we need parts. All the parts. There are tons of great places to get your parts online but I’d like to point out two companies that sponsor this website from time to time and help make the site a possibility.
RJay’s Speed Shop – Cory at RJay’s has been a great supporter of this site for a long time and always treats my friends right. Quick shipping and friendly service and RJay’s makes a bunch of their own parts.
Speedway Motors – We all know Speedway. Speedy Bill built America’s Oldest Speed Shop and it’s one of the first places that I go when I need to see what’s available in the hot rod parts world.

5. Clothes!

Yeah not normally what you think of when you think of a car nut but there is no reason that just because you’re a car nut you can’t look good too. Personally I love the basic car show shirt and jeans but when I want to dress up a bit I usually pull out something from Steady Clothing. Click on any of these shirts to see them on Amazon.

Good stuff. You could always just get yourself a Royboy Shirt, hat or beanie. And of course don’t forget about Crown Deluxe Sunglasses.

4. Car Themed Decor

Sprucing up the garage, man cave or any other room in the house with car themed pieces is simple. You can go as easy as a garage sale find hubcap polished up and hanging on the wall. Also don’t forget about all of the kustom kulture artists out there. You can get one of their pre-made pieces or commission them for custom pieces.

3. GAS!

This one is simple, a gas card. Let’s face it, there aren’t many cool cars out there that good gas mileage. The cooler it is, the more likely it is to devour the go go juice. Most of the big gas stations have gift cards that you can get and trust me, your car nut will need it.

2. Calendar

Another semi self serving addition to the list, but let’s face it, what other gift can you give that your car nut will look at for an entire year? Dollar per use, there is no better deal out there than the calendar. Whether it’s one of the 2016 Royboy Calendars that I produce or one by any number of people, a car calendar is the gift that keeps on giving all year long.
Other calendars are available from Gears And Gals, TwoTall Okie, Trent Sherrill and tons more!

1. A trip to a bucket list car event

This one isn’t likely to be cheap, but it is likely to be worth it. Whether it’s the trip to Bonneville, El Mirage, Grand National Roadster Show, Lonestar Roundup, Hot Rod Hill Climb, The Race Of Gentlemen, Detroit Autorama or any other event, planning out a trip for your car nut will be something that they never forget.

Hopefully you’re now a little more prepared for Christmas shopping for your car nut. Have yourself a Merry little Christmas!
