Our Used Car Dealership Brainstormed a List of Presents for Everyone on Your List
Whether Santa Claus leaves gifts under your tree, you swap small presents for Hanukkah, you celebrate Zawadi on the last night of Kwanzaa, or if you have another unique gift-giving holiday celebration, then you’ve likely experienced the stress of finding special items for everyone on your list.
Most adults have one thing in common: they drive a vehicle. Thankfully, this makes it easier than ever to find gifts! Consider these holiday gift ideas that pair well with your loved one’s ride, especially if it’s a recent purchase from a used car lot like Quick Auto.
Rubber Floor Mats for Inclement Weather
Most used cars don’t come with floor mats, let alone heavy duty rubber ones meant for winter weather. Rubber floor mats protect against road salt, slush, and mud that’s commonplace during Indiana winters.
You can find floor mats to fit your loved one’s vehicle for a reasonable price on retail giant Amazon.com, or shop your local auto parts store.
Emergency Car Kit
An ideal gift for drivers ready for an adventure in any weather, an emergency car kit includes jumper cables, air pressure gauge, flares, and other emergency supplies.
Buy a pre-made kit, or assemble one yourself in a basket or plastic tote to stow in the trunk.
Detailing Supplies or Car Wash Membership
Used car dealerships usually make sure vehicles are clean before their new owners drive them off the lot, but keeping them clean can be a challenge. The perfect gift for used car owners is a five-gallon bucket of detailing supplies - or a car wash membership if they’re not the DIY type.
Gift Cards
Giving a gift card gives your loved one some choice when it’s time to pick out their own gift. Consider these gift card ideas:
Your loved one will have to stop at the pump to refuel their vehicle, so why not help them do that? A gift card to their favorite gas station is the ultimate gift! Not only will it keep their car’s tank on full, but they can also snag their favorite snacks and drinks for road trips or commutes to work or school.
Windshield wiper blades, wiper fluid refills, and other maintenance items will become necessary over the course of car ownership. A gift card to the local auto store is ideal, so your loved one always has what they need to care for their vehicle.
Speaking of caring for their vehicle, a gift card to the local drive-up oil change company is also a great gift that encourages regular maintenance to ensure the longevity of the vehicle.
Custom Keychain
First-time car buyers are often proud of their purchasing power and want to show off their new-to-them wheels. Why not make the experience even more special by ordering a custom keychain for them?
Choose a keychain in their favorite color, or have a metal one engraved with their initials. Or, shop for a keychain that features their favorite movie franchise or character. They’ll always know whose keys are theirs thanks to your unique gift.
Travel Coffee Mug
Used car lots sometimes offer cups of coffee to car shoppers, but what about after customers drive away in their upgraded rides? For the caffeine-fueled driver in your life, a travel coffee mug makes a great gift.
Be sure to pick one sized to fit in their cup holders, with a secure lid that seals fully to reduce the risk of spills. And keep in mind that travel coffee mugs can keep other drinks hot (or cold!), so even if they’re not a coffee drinker, they’ll still get great use from your gift.
Air Freshener, Steering Wheel Cover, and Car Coaster
Create a cohesive look in your loved one’s vehicle by choosing a matching air freshener, steering wheel cover, and car coaster.
Air fresheners come in a variety of scents and styles, so you can find one that matches your loved one’s aesthetic. A tree-shape air freshener is good for those who like the classics. A spinning record player air freshener is perfect for a music lover. Or choose a device that uses all-natural essential oils for the environmentalist in your life.
Add a steering wheel cover in a similar theme or color scheme, plus a car coaster. These rubberized mats sit in the bottom of the cup holder for extra grip and condensation absorbency.
Seat Covers
Although the used cars we sell at Quick Auto are in good condition, sometimes the best way to refresh a vehicle is with stylish seat covers. Upgrade a fabric seat with leather-like covers, or add elements of coziness with a shearling seat cover. Universal seat covers are an ideal gift, even when you aren’t sure what your friend or family member drives.
No Car Yet? Gift Part of a Down Payment on a Used Car
If you know your loved one has been saving up to buy a vehicle, a truly treasured gift is a contribution toward their down payment. When they shop at their local used car dealership, like Quick Auto, they can add your gift to their savings. Our team will take a look at their down payment and monthly income to help them choose a vehicle that fits their budget.
One of our seven used car dealerships near you can help your loved one get into a nicer, newer car - and isn’t that the ultimate gift?
