What to Get My Husband Who Is a Car Lover

Products that keep your husband's car neat and clean are a safe choice. Having a car-loving husband means that there are plenty of gift options on his birthday. You can either buy him presents that enhance his own driving experience or you can choose products related to the automotive industry. Avoid cheap options, such as stickers or car calendars, and have a quick look at the products he already has, such as a collection of models, to ensure he's pleasantly surprised when he opens the present.

Your husband may not be a professional driver and his car could never take part in a NASCAR race, but special driving gloves and shoes can give him the feeling of being part of the action. You can choose between casual driving gloves, which look like ordinary leather gloves, or high-performance racing gloves, which you can recognize from their distinctive design. Driving shoes come in a range of colors, so choose a pair that matches your husband's clothes.

A car polisher and a car vacuum cleaner are very useful gifts for car lovers who love having a neat and clean vehicle. If your husband complains when he sees that his car is dirty, then you can be sure he will appreciate these presents. They are also inexpensive, as a 12-volt car polisher and a 12-volt vacuum cleaner don't cost more than $35 each, as of 2011.

Miniature models of expensive sports cars or racing cars are the classic gift option for car enthusiasts. Your husband will appreciate it, as an elegant miniature can be a nice office decoration. In case your husband already maintains a car model collection, check the size of his other models -- so that your gift is proportionate to his other miniatures -- and ask him, in a discreet way, which model he's missing. Also, be careful not to buy plastic toy cars as miniature models.

A gift that can surprise your husband is clothes and accessories offered by famous car manufacturers. For example, Mercedes-Benz has its own collection of watches and polo shirts, while Formula 1 giants Ferrari offer leather wallets, bags and even perfumes. You can find such items at retail stores, but for the full range of options, check each manufacturer's electronic store.
