Gifting During Christmas - The Bona Fide Car Nut Way

The year is almost over! Wasn’t it just January last week? Oh well…
Christmas is just about here! Have you bought your special ones their Christmas pressies? I hope you have...
But just in-case you haven’t!

Here are a few ideas for you, from someone who routinely frequents the automotive belt.

Well you see, car showrooms are not just places where you can look up a shiny new replacement for your trusty-but-aging ride. Automotive manufacturers have been for years, creating their own unique and useful merchandise… you could call it a celebration of their brands. They have even at times teamed up with successful apparel or equipment manufacturers, resulting in flavourful creations, which you will not easily find from stores along that other belt I don’t frequent, Orchard Road.

Get your young one started early! The kid-friendly Baby Porsche 4S features extra wide whisper quiet tyres for added stability, just like the real deal (the stability part)… but this is the real deal too!

When I was a kid, the 944 was The Porsche I got all excited about! But that is a story for another day. They have a wide selection for you to choose from.

Ah yes! The love bug! Affectionately given so many names, and now the little one can name this one too!

Love the Beetle, but couldn’t get one because you needed something ahem “more practical” fear not! You can even keep this one in your office drawer, where you can take it out to polish or for some sunshine… and oh yes, it makes a great gift too!

How about a pair of Bluetooth headphones? The peeps at Mercedes-Benz have this shiny set, which boasts 18 hours of battery life. Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling capabilities ensures clearer sound reproduction.

Not just the letter M, it’s the BMW M! This one is a lot more special, since it does in a way pay homage to our sunny island. The underside of the peak is in Marina Bay Blue, first seen on the current M5.

Make an impression at the office with this finely-designed BMW Thermal Mug. A screw-on cover, with a push-button mechanism, keeps the good stuff in, while allowing you to savour with ease.
