Gearhead Gift Guide: After Holiday Gift Ideas

800045 1469299 7015 4635 10C1097 019

So this is Christmas! With all due respect to the various readers of automoblog.net as well as to the truer meaning of togetherness and community on this December 25th day, this holiday can be regarded as the most valuable event commercially. Many of us have been honored with a much-wanted gift item under the Christmas tree. However, some of us tear open our gifts realizing we’re beholding products destined to be returned to stores. While a fair share of item returns will result in store credit, some automotive enthusiasts may become the lucky ones to obtain cashback.

Also relevant for those who have acquired their present in the form of money, motorheads can set their sights to a wide-ranging assortment of official automotive-branded merchandise bringing post-holiday cheer.

BMW Snow Racer

P90065713

Price: £69.95 ($107.97 US)

A tragedy as a youngster is to have an object of curiosity within our daily viewing. Seeing a BMW M3 or BMW 7-Series zooming down the road would fill a young mind (as well as the older children at heart) with a desire to one day control a product fronted by the creators of “the ultimate driving machine”. Made from weather resistant plastics, the 6 kilogram (13.22 pound) BMW Snow Racer provides excitement for children 4-10 years old as they storm down white, powdery hills in this stylish sled. Sorry to more mature readers, there is not an adult version of the BMW Snow Racer.

Mopar 2GB USB Storage Drive

An excellent item for the tech savvy Chrysler fan, the 2 gigabyte-sized Mopar USB flash drive properly advertises fanaticism for the popular accessory brand.

A portable storage device, photos, music and other file formats can be saved on the cleverly-designed USB flash drive.

Infiniti Essence Sculpture

ESSENCE SCULPTURE IN LV CASE HIGH RES mid

Price: $300.00

Unlike a standard die-cast and scaled-model, Infiniti’s automotive Essence Sculpture serves more as an artform rather than an accurate recreation of their design direction. Building only 300 complete examples, the body shell is made of solid resin. Completing the high-fashion presentation, a specially-suited bespoke carrying case for the limited edition sculpture is produced by renowned luggage and handbag Louis Vuitton. This collaboration follows-up on the full-sized concept coupe, the Infiniti Essence which featured custom-fitted Louis Vuitton luggage.
