From picking us up when we were little to teaching us to navigate the roads of life, everyone has that father figure in their life who deserves appreciation. And with Father’s Day just around the corner (June 18), here are 10 gift ideas for your auto enthusiast dad.
1. Sunglasses
A must-have driving accessory in our sunny climate. Choose a style you think he’ll look good in; look for automotive branded (or co-branded) sunglasses that you can find on your usual e-commerce sites or on the websites of a few luxury carmakers in India.
Autocar tip: Be sure to get sunglasses that offer UV protection. Polarised lenses that cut road glare are also a good choice.
2. Portable Car Vacuum
If your dad likes to clean his beloved car himself, get him a car vacuum cleaner as cleaning without one just sucks. There are two types – the corded ones that plug into the 12V outlet, and cordless ones. Choose depending on your budget.
Autocar tip: There are many cheap, unbranded options out there, but stick to a well-known company as these will not only last long but also provide enough suction power.
3. Car perfume
A clean car is a good place to be in and a clean car that smells good is an even better place. There are many types of car fragrances you can choose from, like gels, hanging scented cards to bottled scent dispensers.
Autocar tip: Consider milder perfumes as too intense a fragrance can give your dad a headache in the car.
4. Air compressor
We cannot stress enough how important this bit of kit is. Keeping tyre pressure in check is one of the easiest ways to take care of the vehicle and ensure safety on the road. Here, too, you could get either a corded or a cordless one, based on your budget.
Autocar tip: Get an inflator that also has a few other accessories like a bicycle and football valve; that way you can use the inflator for more than just the automobile.
