Car accessories make great Father’s Day gifts for dads who take almost as much pride in their cars as they do their children. The five best car accessory Father’s Day gifts are versatile, fun and affordable for a loving child on a budget.
Humorous gifts are popular on Father’s Day. One gift idea for dad that combines a car accessory theme with comedic gag-gifts is the plunger styled to look like a six speed gear shift. For around $50, you can give your dad a functioning plunger with a solid aluminum handle topped with a carved metal, six speed gear shift. This car accessory themed Father’s Day gift is not only good for a laugh, it is also a very high quality plunger.
A radar detector is used to alert drivers that a speed scanning radar is being used in the area. These devices are mounted on the dashboard or windshield below the rear-view mirror. Radar detectors are great Father’s Day gifts for dads who love their cars and hate getting speeding tickets. Before buying a radar detector for your dad, be sure they are legal where you live as some places have banned their usage.
A man who is passionate about his cars will want his home décor, and drinking implements, to reflect that passion. A perfect car themed accessory to give your dad on Father’s Day, that provides that in-home reminder of his beloved car, is a liquor dispenser modeled to look like an old fashioned gas pump. Prefill the clear gas pump shaped container with your dad’s favorite alcohol, or nonalcoholic beverage for dads who don’t drink, and pour him a glass from the nozzle shaped handle. A popular liquor dispensing gas pump can be purchased for around $32.
For a gift that is a bit more extravagant, consider giving your dad a new car stereo receiver that will improve his driving experience. Upgraded car stereo receivers can make it possible for your dad to enjoy the radio, MP3s, DVDs and directions from an integrated GPS system. Keep in mind that the more features a car stereo receiver has, the more expensive it will cost. The higher price tag makes an upgraded receiver a great choice for a group-gift.
Another upgraded car accessory that makes for a great Father’s Day gift is a new set of speakers. A dad that already has a great receiver for his needs, but could use a boost to the sound output or quality, will love a new set of speakers for their car. Do research into the best speakers for your dad’s car before spending money on a new set.
Car themed home decor and new accessories for your dad’s car make excellent Father Day’s gift for a man who loves his car. Consider these ideas while shopping for the perfect gift to give your dad.
