10 Unique Gifts for Car Enthusiasts (That Aren’t Posters or Model Cars)
Looking for a gift that’ll actually impress a car lover? Skip the socks, skip the generic posters, and definitely skip the mini model cars. We’ve rounded up 10 car-inspired gifts that are far from boring – and guaranteed to earn a spot in their garage, office or man cave.
1. Car Wall Art Printed on Skateboard Decks
Let’s start with something seriously different. At Deckorate, we print legendary cars – from Porsche 911s to McLaren 765 LTs – directly onto high-quality skateboard decks. These aren’t made to ride; they’re made to hang. It’s bold, it’s clean, and it’s a guaranteed conversation starter.
Great for: Supercar addicts, race fans, garage decor lovers.
2. Track Day Experience Voucher
Let them drive a dream car – without buying one. Many race tracks offer gift vouchers to drive a Ferrari, Lambo or Porsche on a real circuit. It’s an unforgettable adrenaline hit.
Great for: Thrill-seekers, first-time track drivers.
3. Premium Detailing Kit
If they spend more time detailing their car than driving it, you can’t go wrong with a professional-level car detailing set. Think foam cannons, ceramic spray, microfiber madness.
Great for: Detailers, weekend washers.
4. Car-Themed Coffee Table Book
Books like "The Impossible Collection of Cars" or "Porsche Unseen" are perfect for the coffee table, the office, or the bathroom (let's be honest). They look great and fuel obsession.
Great for: Classic car buffs, design lovers.
5. Custom-Printed Deck of Their Own Car
Know someone who’s obsessed with their own ride? Let us turn their actual car into wall art. They send us a photo, we create a vector design, and print it on a deck. Boom. One-of-a-kind gift. A custom made skateboard deck featuring their own car.
Great for: Anyone who calls their car "she."
6. Tuned Exhaust Sound Simulator (for Their Desk)
Yes, this is real. Tiny desk gadgets that play the sound of a V12 startup or a turbo blow-off valve. Totally unnecessary. Totally amazing.
Great for: Office-bound petrolheads.
7. Motorsport-Inspired Wall Clock
There are wall clocks made from old brake discs. There are clocks shaped like RPM gauges. Either way, they’re cooler than a standard IKEA piece.
Great for: Garage walls, car-themed kitchens.
8. Supercar Blueprint Print
A sleek, blueprint-style print of an iconic car like the Ferrari F40 or the Nissan GT-R. Clean lines, black-and-white, looks great framed. Easy win.
Great for: Minimalists, architects, car history nerds.
9. Racing Simulator Gear
If budget allows, go big with a proper sim racing wheel setup (Logitech, Fanatec). Add a rig and a decent chair, and they’ll never leave the house again.
Great for: F1 fanatics, sim racers.
10. Combo Deck Packs from Deckorate
Can’t pick just one car? Our combo packs bundle two or three legendary designs for a better price – and a serious upgrade to any car lover’s wall. Think Senna & Schumacher, or Red Bull & McLaren in one killer combo.
Great for: Collectors, new home setups, high-impact gifts.
TL;DR: Impress a Car Lover Without Going Basic
Whether it’s a handcrafted skateboard deck with a Porsche 918 or a custom print of their own tuned ride, these gifts go way beyond the usual suspects. If you’re looking to surprise a car enthusiast with something they’ll actually want on their wall, you’re in the right place.
