LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS UNDER $100

Christmas is just less than a week away. For many of us because the season is such a busy time with work, overtime, holiday festivities, and being stuck in traffic, the holidays fly by and before you know it Christmas is just a few days away and shopping needs to be done. Many of us will be packing the malls, shopping centers, and many of you will avoid the high volume of people by shopping in the comfort of your own bed with your laptop or mobile device. For enthusiasts, you might receive money or gift cards that will go towards your ride. But this blog is for the last-minute shopper trying to find something affordable for the car lover in your life.

We understand that modding cars is more expensive than investing in real estate, and not everyone can do it. Because of those reasons, we are going to focus on some choices that can be had for less than $100. Now $100 is still a lot of money for most of us, and we know that most of the go-fast goodies on the site exceed well beyond $100, so let’s keep things affordable, thoughtful, and will make any car enthusiast in your life pleasantly surprised.

 

 

AIR FRESHENERS

We mention these a ton because Eikosha delivers a very unique Japanese citrous scent that is unlike anything you could buy at your local auto parts stores. These make for some of the best stocking stuffers, and the scent lasts for months unlike the conventional trees that you hang from your rear-view mirror.

 

 

PAINT DETAIL SPRAYS, CLEANERS, WAXES

When spring comes, we finally have the chance to deeply clean all of the winter elements that get embedded in the paint such as salt, tar, and a blender of all the road elements. After waxing you can use a good detail spray to wipe away the dust in between washes. We carry many great products from the Chemical Guys which makes some of the best attainable detailing products at the fraction of what pro detailing products cost.

 

 

DRAIN PLUGS

Perfect for those who like to do their own oil changes rather than allow some 19-year-old lube tech at a chain oil change location act like they know what they’re doing to your investment. We have several drain plugs. Some are magnetic that trap harmful floating metallic elements in your oil pan. And we carry Fumoto quick-drain valves that drain the oil with a simple turn of a valve which eliminates mess, and hot oil from splashing on your hand.

 

 

ALTERNATOR COVERS

These are awesome because they add more color and personality to your engine bay, while adding extra protection to your belts. You can choose from a variety of powder-coated aluminum units, to carbon fiber units to suit the theme of your engine bay.

 

 

SHIFT KNOBS

We mention shift knobs in just about every holiday season sale blog because there are several examples under the $100 budget, and they add a little more fun to your interior and your driving experience. We have many different shapes, weights, materials, and sizes to choose from. A new shift knob really cleans up the interior especially if you have a worn-out unit.

 

 

INTERIOR LIGHTING

For those of you with older Subaru models and want to add a modern touch to your interior, interior lighting kits are an awesome upgrade. These kits include bulbs made using the latest in LED technology to illuminate the interior brighter while consuming less energy. These are budget-friendly, and most if not, all are direct replacements.

 

 

AUXILIARY BRAKE LIGHTS

Also known as a 3^rd brake light, except many of the examples we offer are multi-functional. They operate as a parking light, as well as a reverse light. These are F1 inspired as Formula 1 cars have one small light in the back, but it’s bright enough to grab your attention. Many of these units are made using bright LED lights, and many are under the $100 price point.

 

 

HATS

Because if the gearhead in your life lives and breathes modding cars, chances are that their wardrobe will either suck, or they won’t really know how to dress anyway. However, if they get a hat from one of their favorite brands or shops, this will also give them an excuse to not do their hair.  

 

 

GIFT CARD

From $10 to $225, a gift card is quick and allows the Subaru enthusiast to choose whatever they like, or they can use the card to go towards a bigger purchase.

 

 

And this is our choice for last-minute gift ideas for the holidays on a budget. Now don’t feel bad if you don’t get these gifts in time. Keep that holiday spirit rolling through the new year. Any of these gifts would excite any true gearhead. And if they can’t appreciate any of these excellent choices, then maybe they shouldn’t be driving a WRX, STI, or anything with a turbo. We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays this year. We hope that you can relax during the holidays and have a nice reset, and a nice rest before returning back to work.
