The 2021 CARiD Holiday Gift Guide: Affordable Gift Suggestions For That Special Car Lover

Do you need a present for someone who is passionate about their ride? Selecting an ideal holiday gift for them can be challenging. Start your shopping excursion by scrolling through our selections below from CARiD.com, where you’ll find holiday gift suggestions that work on anything with four wheels.

All our gift suggestions are priced between $50 and $200, so there is a present for every budget. Along with the comfort of shopping from home, you have the option to send the gift directly to the recipient.

1. Floor Mats

Accessory floor mats protect your carpeting from everyday wear and tear; they can also dress up and customize your interior. Our floor mat category includes everything from basic rubber mats, to floor liners, carpet mats, and on some products, logos and custom script.

Our gift selection choice is the WeatherTech AVM universal mat set which includes coverage for both 1st and 2nd rows. They are trimmable for best fit, can be bought in black, grey or tan, and are priced at $54.95 for a full set of four.

2. License Plate Frames

With almost 7,000 choices, our license plate frame category does not lack for selection: materials, colors, logos, and lighting can all be individually chosen. A custom frame is a great way to add style to an often-neglected area of a car.

Our choice here is this polished billet license plate frame from IPCW. At this affordable $60 price, the stylish frame includes stainless steel mounting hardware; installation is an easy no-drill affair.

3. Car Care Kits

Car care kits, consisting of combinations of cleaners, waxes, and protective treatments, are always a favorite gift category. Anyone who owns a car or truck needs products to keep it looking its best. The Rixxu brand, a CARiD exclusive, has some great choices for us.

This Essentials Car Care Kit from Rixxu is under $65 and includes four bottles, one each of Wash & Shine Car Wash, Gloss Tire Shine, Leather Protection, and All Purpose Cleaner. The kit includes a microfiber towel, microfiber mitt, and detail brush.

4. Interior Detailing Kits

Our Interior Care category includes products to maintain your vehicle’s vinyl, rubber, leather, plastic, carpet, and more. An interior detailing kit provides a nice selection of these products.

We like this Interior Detailing Prescription from Dr. Beasley’s. Included for your $89.95 are five 12 oz. bottles, one each of Interior Cleanser, Plastic Conditioner, Opti-Surface Cleanser, Carpet & Upholstery Cleanser, and Glass Cleanser.

5. Seat Back Organizers

Within our Car Organizers category is a Seat Organizers sub-category. These items take advantage of a lesser-used area by placing the organizers on the backs of the front seats.

For this year’s list, we suggest these Carhartt SeatSaver seat back organizers. Select a color (brown, gravel, or mossy oak) and strap it in place. They’re made of a water-resistant fabric, and each organizer includes 4 pockets. Priced between $68 and $78 each, they are affordable enough to buy two!

6. Seat Covers

One of CARiD’s most popular categories is Custom Seat Covers. Material choices range from cloth, velour, and sheepskin, to neoprene, ballistic, and leather. You have a wide choice of single and multiple colors too.

Rixxu again makes our list with their universal-fit Milano front seat covers, priced at only $134.94 for the pair. Choose from black, grey, or tan, and enjoy their quilted diamond design and padded leatherette material. They’re easy to install, using built-in elastic straps and quick-connect buckles.

7. Hood Scoops

Custom hood scoops, found within our Body Kits category under Exterior Accessories, send a performance message: they look great no matter what’s under the hood. We carry hundreds of different style scoops in your choice of material.

Our pick for this 2021 Gift Guide is the Willpak Small Hood Scoop. At $155, it’s within our price cap, and the price includes professional paint application in your choice of color. A scoop painted in a matching or contrasting shade adds a large dash of personalization.

8. Portable Battery Jump Starters

Portable Battery Jump Starters have their own category within Automotive Tools. These compact devices, with their onboard battery supply and built-in cable clamps, have eliminated the need to carry clumsy jumper cables.

Our selection from this category is this Portable Battery Jump Starter from Booster PAC. It weighs only 18 pounds, fits into any vehicle’s trunk, and normally costs $179.80 but is on sale right now for $125, a savings of almost $55!

9. Dash Cams

Dash cameras, found within our Audio & Electronics Category, are easy to mount in place and require little attention from the operator. Whether you’re recording your own travels or documenting what is happening around you, a dash cam does this unobtrusively and thoroughly.

We like the Geko Orbit 960 Dash Cam as a holiday gift idea. It records in UHD, its Sony sensor works in low light situations, and Wi-Fi allows video transfer to a smartphone within minutes. From now until Dec. 27, 2021, the Geko Orbit 960, regularly priced at $199.99, is on sale for $157.99, a $42 savings!

10. Undercar Light Sets

Our Underbody Lighting category is a subset of our Automotive Lighting Store. These lights add an eye-catching glow to any car or truck. Placement, colors, and special effects are options for your choosing.

A great gift choice is this Lumen RGB LED 4-Pod Rock Light Set with Bluetooth Control. The lights are rugged, waterproof, and can be mounted almost anywhere. Bluetooth lets you alter the colors and strobe rate. Priced under $190, it includes four pods, control module, wire harness, and all hardware.
