For the Cold Weather Friend
Heated Ice-Scraper
For the cold-climate friend who’s in constant battle with the elements, this heated ice scraper is sure to please. Complete with an 11.5’ cord and 17” extendable handle (to reach all of your windows with ease), and even a built in LED light for nighttime use, it’s the winter warrior every windshield deserves. No batteries necessary for use – just plug straight into your 12V DC outlet and get to scraping.
For the friend who wants to see it all:
Vantrue N2 Pro Dual-Lens Dashcam
Upgrade their dashcam setup with the Vantrue N2 Pro! With interior and exterior dual-lenses that can capture an almost 360º view of your ride, excellent night vision, and high-definition footage, it’s one of the best dashcam options out there for safety.

For the Neat Freak:
Dirt Lock Bucket Insert
Anyone who loves cars loves a clean car, but it’s probably safe to say we don’t all love the process of getting it to that clean-as-a-whistle state. Enter: Dirt Lock, an enormously helpful bucket insert that manipulates the flow of water, leaving you with only clean water as you wash your ride! Reusable and chemical and crush-resistant, it’s sure to become an instant favorite for the neat freak in your life.
For the Perfectionist:
Edgeless Microfiber Cloths
They may not be glamorous, but microfiber cloths are certainly a must have for any car owner who wants to keep their ride in tip-top shape. We love this set from Mighty Cleaner, which has an edgeless, no-hard-seams design to prevent scratching as you clean. Constructed from extra long furry fabric, these towels are also especially adept at picking up and holding grime from even the hardest to reach spots on your car. The cherry on top? The set also comes in two colors to help you color code for different uses and treatments.
For the Dreamer:
(LEGO) Lamborghini Sián FKP 37
We’d all love to give our loved ones a top-of-the-line sports car (and let’s be real, we’d love to receive one, too) but sadly, life often comes with budget constraints. If a $3M+ set of wheels isn’t an option, give your friend the next best thing — this wildly accurate (and complex) Lamborghini LEGO set, the ultimate gift for those who dream of revving engines but are stuck in the slow lane of reality. Who even needs a garage when you can have a LEGO masterpiece on your desk anyway?
For the Picky Friend:
Dongar.tech E-Gift Cards
Take the guesswork out of gift giving and let your autophile friend select their own! In increments of $25, $50, and $100, these e-gift cards will ensure your picky friend is able to find whatever accessory suits them best. Plus, with scheduled email delivery, you can rest easy knowing they’ll arrive exactly when you want – no shipping delays here!
