Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so now is a good time to start thinking about the gift that you’re going to get your loved one. Men are usually harder to buy for, as a bunch of flowers and a necklace just won’t cut it with them. Luckily, there’s one thing that many men (and women) like and that is cars. Many people experience in their younger years the dream of having a suped up car to drive around town in and visit the places you want to go. While buying a car is probably out of your price range, there are some other fantastic gifts that you can buy for the car fanatic in your life.

Brand new alloys

Even if you’re not a fan of cars, you’ve got to admit there’s something really exciting about seeing a car with really nice alloys, and most of all matching ones too. If you can’t afford to buy alloys for their car, then there’s a cheap alternative – alloy covers. You can buy these from pretty much any shop that stocks bits and bobs to do with cars, bikes, and bicycles. Halfords is a great company to turn to as they can help you choose the right one for the car.

Personalised registration number

Buying your loved one a personalised registration number is a fantastic gift to consider. You can make it as personal as you like within your price range too. Why not consider getting their initials or name on the registration plate, so that their car stands out from all of the other same model car in the area? Check out this range of private plates and see if there’s one which takes yours (and your partners fancy).

Car seat covers

If you’ve got a second-hand car, it’s likely that the seats have become worn over time, spillages have happened, and there even might be rips in the fabric. A great way to make the interior of a car look brand new is to buy car seat covers so that you can cover the unsightly seats and make them look 100 times better than before. One bonus? They are usually easily removed and washable if any more spillages do happen in the car. Why not kit out the whole car for comfort with a steering wheel cover too?

Sound systems

There’s something great about driving along and turning up your favourite music to have a good sing to. Why not update their car sound system and give them the ride of their life with the option to be able to blast out their favourite tunes? They are fairly simple to install too, so if you fancied having a go yourself to surprise them it shouldn’t be too difficult to work out!

As you can see, there are some great and fairly priced gifts that you can get for the car fanatic in your life, so consider these and surprise them this valentine’s day!
