Amid the bustle and rush of Holiday shopping it’s too easy to forget the most important people on your gift list… your mechanics! After all, what have your spouse or kids done for you lately? Bet they weren’t out there crawling around under your hood throughout the year, keeping your vehicles safe, breakdown-free, and operating at their best! If you’ve waited till the last minute, we’re here to help with some wonderful gift ideas. From islands in Belize to personal helicopters to jeweled Christmas Crackers, something on this list is sure to please any mechanic in your life… other people might even like them as well! Dig in and enjoy, because even if you don’t get one of these gifts for someone you love, we think you’ll get a grin from the window shopping…
DudeIWantThat.com is where we go to start our Holiday dreaming. They dream with us, because many of their offerings like ninja yachts, exotic hovercraft, and single seat helicopters are concepts rather than actual products. However, their full guide includes gifts for everyone by category such as these 10 Coolest Motorcycle Helmets.
Who doesn’t like exotic islands? Sites like Islands.com and PrivateIslandsOnline.com have islands for sale all around the world, and some are surprisingly affordable. Take this one, Isla Paloma in Panama… ¾ acre, self-powered, two bedroom home, party shack, private beach, boathouse, and swim dock, all for $380,000. That’s less than a Portland home! There’s even four islands for sale in Oregon, and if you want to cheap out a little there are 12 private islands you can actually afford.
If
neither of those sources is for you, then Neiman Marcus always has great
last-minute gifts. Forbes has some
selections from the Neiman
Marcus Christmas Catalog: Extravagant Fantasy Gifts for 2019
and the full
catalog is here, but to save you time you might consider Travel
the World by Private Jet to Five Cool Destinations ($575,000), Luxury Dog House
by Rockstar Puppy and Denise Richards ($70,000), or a Versace Punching Bag ($1,550).
If you still haven’t found something to your liking, try Over-The-Top Christmas Gift Ideas From Pursuitist. The Barney’s Feather backgammon set ($6995) would look great in our waiting room, the 24-piece advent house from Harrods for ($19,000) would certainly fit somewhere in the lobby, and a Neiman Marcus Peacock Sculpture ($65,000) would bring a whole new attitude to our gravel parking lot.
101 Best Luxury Gifts: The Ultimate List may be a great source for your stocking stuffers. The 65” LG Series Smart OLED TV is nice for $2096.99, the Zero Gravity Full-Body Kahuna Massage Recliner is a steal at $1,999.99, and even if we can’t use the Stuart Weitzman Nudistrong Dress Sandals (at just $350!) ourselves, we probably know someone who can.
“Christmas Crackers” don’t really exist in the US, but they’re big in England. Usually, they’re small stocking stuffers wrapped in paper with little firecrackers inside. EliteTraveler has a couple others you might like, like like this $4,900,000 set including an Aston Martin Coupe and a Cartier Diamond necklace.
Some of you (and we’re not naming names) will still have money left over for your families after buying your priority gifts for your mechanics. Don’t worry, there’s still a couple sites we can recommend, along with our favorite gift from each…
