If buying them their dream car is too expensive, a die-cast model of it is a perfect substitute. There are plenty of brands like Tomica, Hot Wheels and so much more to choose from depending on your budget. Moreover, they come in various sizes and levels of detail, making it easy to find one that matches their preferences. Whether they enjoy showcasing their collection on a shelf or reliving the joy of a cherished car, a model car will make for a fantastic addition to their car-centric world. If you want to know what your friend’s dream car is, try asking them and surprise them with a miniature model of it on the day!
Car Care Products
On this International Friendship Day, surprise your friend with car care products! Choices for a car care product kit may include car wax, premium microfiber towels, car wash soap, and other high-quality cleaning and detailing products. Not only will this gift help them keep their car in pristine condition, but it will also showcase your thoughtfulness and understanding of their passion for automotive care. In addition, you can also treat your friend to discount vouchers for a ceramic coating service or a premium car wash. Any true car enthusiast will always treat their car better than anyone in the world.
Driving Experience
Indulge your car enthusiast friend’s need for speed by giving them a thrilling driving experience. Many locations offer opportunities to drive high-performance sports cars on racetracks or scenic routes. This adrenaline-pumping gift will create lasting memories and allow them to fulfill their dream of getting behind the wheel of their favorite car.
If renting out a car is too expensive, you can always opt to take them for go-karting or to an extreme park to ride dune buggies. We have a list of go-kart tracks around Malaysia to recommend here.
Car Gadgets and Accessories
Another way to make it into any car enthusiast’s heart this International Friendship Day is a gadget or an accessory to make their driving experience better. The best part of this is it doesn’t have to be expensive! Accessories from any hardware or variety store such as a wireless car charger will keep their devices powered up on the go, while a dashcam will ensure they capture every exciting moment on their journeys.
You can also surprise them with a portable tire inflator. It can be a lifesaver during emergencies, and a Bluetooth car adapter will enable hands-free calling and music streaming. These thoughtful gifts will add convenience and enjoyment to their time spent on the road. Before you buy them, we suggest finding an opportunity to ride as a passenger in their car for reconnaissance. You don’t want to buy them something they already have!
Event and Car Meets
Celebrate International Friendship Day by surprising your car enthusiast friend with tickets to a car show, automotive expo, or racing event. The opportunity to witness a dazzling display of classic and modern cars, interact with other car enthusiasts, and experience the passion of the automotive world firsthand will be a truly unforgettable experience for them.
