The holiday shopping season is in full swing as Black Friday and Cyber Monday have already come and gone. However, finding the right gift for friends and family is often easier said than done.
With that in mind, we’re asking our readers what are some of the best gifts for enthusiasts? While automakers love to plant the idea of buying your significant other a new car for Christmas, let’s stick to reality and focus on gifts under $100.
While there’s no right or wrong answers, I personally picked up a portable jump starter for $40 on Black Friday. You’d be hard-pressed to find one at that price now, but they’re a great gift as no one wants to be left stranded due to a dead battery.

Sticking with practical gifts, you can pick up a small tool set that fits in a glove box for under $20. It won’t save you if something goes seriously wrong, but sometimes just tightening a single nut can get you back on the road.
For friends and family that aren’t mechanically inclined, scale models or die-cast cars are normally a good bet. On the topic of toys, Legos aren’t just for kids as the company offers an assortment of sets ranging from basic to a $450 Ferrari Daytona SP3 that consists of 3,778 pieces.
Automakers are also more than happy to sell you an assortment of branded goods and toys. While most aren’t terribly exciting, Volkswagen offers a cool Solo Stove while Jeep will basically sell you anything they can slap their logo on.
An assortment of companies also offer car detailing kits, although the one-size fits all approach might not be for everyone. That being said, what are some great gift ideas for enthusiasts?
