Pro-Tip: Place your gift in a gift box and wrap it with a bow as sometimes small packages have big surprises (Like maybe a Custom Covercraft Form-Fit Car Cover or something else special).
3: Replica for the Passionate Auto Enthusiast
This option is perfect for those with a passionate automotive enthusiast, that you got a custom vehicle gift for. Miniature vehicles could be of a Chevy Corvette, Ford Mustang, Jeep Wrangler, Porsche 911, Volkswagen Beetle, or any popular collectors vehicle. The more popular the easier it is to find a small replica or tiny toy in your local store for just a couple of dollars.
Find a vehicle that looks similar to your loved ones. Then find a creative way to display the vehicle with a card underneath, propped against, or roll-up and tied to the roof like a Christmas tree coming home.
Some Creative Suggestions:
- If the car is garage kept. Pull the vehicle out and swap with the replica. This will instantly catch their attention.
- Clear a spot in front of the fireplace and park the vehicle with the fireplace shimmering behind.
- For the dads that may spend a lot of time finding the perfect spot for a "special elf" during the holidays make it dad's turn in a fun way.
- Get some washable markers and make skid marks and donuts on the floor with the vehicle parked in the middle or to a stopping point.
- Get a close-up photo in different ways and tease them in the coming days before with text messages that have fun captions "Something is Coming", "Vroom", or "I Like Your Car".
Pro-Tip: Just have fun. We know it's ideal to have the gift in hand, but often these efforts can actually make the gift more than a gift and it becomes something they remember for years.
