For whatever reason, we like to pressure ourselves every year in the hunt for the perfect Valentine’s Gift for your special someone, and we frequently will break the bank doing it. This year, skip the cookie calories, the chocolate sugar rush, the blinding bling, and the flower allergic reactions and get your special someone (or thing) something truly special – a car part or accessory! We have a few ideas for every budget to get those creative motors rolling and help cupid string a heart arrow on his bow to let love fly with these fun suggestions from our Parts Department!
For The “Truck Guy or Gal:”
$$$ – Big trucks are a signature of the South! Help your honey get up there with a lift kit!
$$ – Who doesn’t love to get a little mud on the tires? The problem comes when the mud gets INSIDE the truck! For those love and muddin’ moments, we suggest Weather Tech mats! Laser defined and built to precision for your exact model, Weather Tech mats protect the upholstery of your vehicle from becoming the collateral damage.
$ – Express yourself and protect your hitch with a custom hitch cover flaunting your team, military branch, or alma mater!
For the Jeep Head:
$$$ – All Jeeple take pride in the tracks they leave – and Jeep’s latest project is to let you leave those tracks right on the hood of your Jeep! Pre-order a custom trail map hood for your honey’s Jeep to express the love of where they’ve been, and where you’re going together. (Cue “Awe”s – and yes, you can use that on the card when you deliver your awesome gift!)
$$ – The beautiful part of being a Jeep owner is that you get to personalize your vehicle. A custom wheel cover on your baby’s Wrangler can add just a little extra touch to the personal Jeep!
For the Muscle Maniac:
$$$ – Performance Packages or Brembo brakes – if you’ve got the cash and you want to spend it on your sweetheart, you will send their heart a revving with one of these powerful modifications! (But check to make sure they don’t already have one!)
$$ – Take a page from my book – I gifted my then boyfriend, now fiance with custom color protective mats for his muscle car that match the obnoxious orange he holds so dear! Now his muscle car is show-ready!
$ – Can’t afford a whole shifter? How about a custom shift knob? From the freaky to the humorous to the classic, shift knobs vary in cost from $12 – hundreds, and make the perfect “I care” gesture.
For The SuperMom:
$$$ – Oh honey. In this case, it’s time to invest in some serious “thank you” bling – she deserves it!
$$ – We’re going back to Weather Tech mats again! They come right out and can be hosed down! Seriously – hosed down! Easiest clean up post soccer game/ celebratory drive through ice cream in the car ever!
$ – We have two options for this category – a cargo net, for all of the piles of the kid’s stuff that flies everywhere in the trunk, and rain guards (aka: window visors) to protect upholstery from the rain when the kids forget to roll up that cracked window in the summer.
There you have it! Gift ideas for every car person in your life to fit every budget! Just call or visit our parts department to learn how to access these gifts for your sweetheart!
