Gifts for mechanics may feel difficult to find during the holiday season if you aren't a car person yourself. You may not know exactly which tools they need or what some of them even mean, but plenty of options exist for any mechanic. Tools,
car accessories
, and even mechanics' memorabilia can make some excellent gifts
.Whether it's their profession or just something they enjoy, these gifts can help bring holiday joy to their hearts.
Gifts for mechanics: A tool bag
If you've been at a mechanic's home garage or shop and noticed things were kind of all over the place,
Men's Health
recommends getting a tool bag. It's great for keeping basic tools organized and can be carried easily from one place to the next. Amazon sells the
Carhartt Legacy Tool Bag
for less than $60 at a regular price. You can get it for even less when it's on sale. A screwdriver keychain
A screwdriver is a basic tool for any occasion. Whether for a mechanic working in the garage or for a household fix, having a screwdriver on hand can be a huge help.
Gift them a screwdriver keychain that stays with them at all times. That way, they'll always have one available when they need to tackle a quick repair.
Gifts for mechanics: A foldable creeper
Too many mechanics lay directly on the ground underneath a vehicle when they're working on it. Aside from the "getting dirty" aspect that many mechanics don't seem to mind, there is the fact that lying on a hard surface for hours can quickly hurt the back and spine.
A foldable creeper can help add some cushion to the mix and keep their back from aching after their work is finished.
The Pro-Lift C-9100
is a great choice. The foldable feature allows you to fold it down to a smaller size so it can be put out of the way when not in use. It runs about $80 at regular price, and even less when it's on sale. A tire-shaped coffee mug
Mechanic-inspired memorabilia and keepsakes make great gifts as well. A tire-shaped coffee mug, for example, can be a fun way for a mechanic to get a pick-me-up in the morning. Amazon sells the
MISHOWNET version
complete with a wrench for a handle for under $35. If you're looking for something cheaper, a funny mug can work just as well. It may not be shaped like a tire, but a
mug that says "Starter Fluid"
is perfect for a mechanic. It won't even cost you $15 but will still be a worthwhile and hysterical present. What car gifts would you enjoy?
You can simply consider what gifts you would enjoy that relate to your car. They don't have to be something expensive and extravagant that only a mechanic can use. They are a driver, too.
Get them a cool steering wheel cover or some new seat covers. Perhaps you'd enjoy a new car scent, so that can make a nice gift for your mechanic as well. Even something like hand moisturizer can work well since mechanics tend to have rough, callused hands from all the work they do.
Gift the knowledge of Jerry for the holidays
Anything car-related makes an ideal gift for any mechanic in your life. They'll appreciate that you thought of them and took the time to pick out something you thought they'd enjoy.
Go the extra mile and gift them with the knowledge about
Jerry
as a top insurance option. They can save big, which is a huge gift in itself.
