Need some gift inspiration for the holiday season? We’ve made a list of eco-friendly gift ideas for car lovers. So, if you have family members, loved ones and colleagues who appreciate a sustainable present, our suggestions range from water-saving car wash gift tokens to green cleaning kits. Not only are green gifts super useful, but they also do their bit to protect the planet.
Eco-Friendly Car Wash Gift Token
The gift of a sparkling clean car never goes out of fashion. Moreover, there’s even more to love if it is an eco-friendly car wash that helps conserve water. DetailXPerts has a range of eco-friendly car wash gift certificates to suit your budget. For example, choose an exterior wash gift token to restore the car paintwork’s sparkle and shine. Or treat friends or family to a Presidential Detail Car Care package that includes an interior and exterior clean. This green car wash uses steam cleaning technology to clean a car using just 1 pint of water, saving both water and time for the recipient. You can buy a DetailXPerts car wash gift certificate online.
Waterless Wash & Wax Bundle
Another water-saving gift for car lovers is the Chemical Guys Wash & Wax Set. This gift makes car washing greener for those who are into their DIY car care. The set includes a waterless car Wash & Wax Concentrate, and towel set to help transform a car interior with a deep, glossy finish. Alternatively, create your own gift kit, see below.
Green Car Cleaning Kit
Eco-friendly car cleaning kits will always be useful for car owners. You can use the following items to make a green car cleaning kit gift:
- Simple Green Car Wash is a biodegradable formula that safely leans paint, clear coat, and windows.
- Method Dish Soap is perfect when you need to know how to get stains out of car seats. Its biodegradable formula made with plant-based ingredients cuts through grease and stains, refreshing your car upholstery.
- E-Cloth Window Cleaning Kit includes reusable cloths that go in the laundry, not landfills. Use on windshields, mirrors and any glass surface. The cloths are available in a range of colors. See our tips on how to choose the best car interior detailing kit.
Eco Microfiber Cloths
Eco-Fused Microfiber Cleaning Cloths are good for cleaning car interiors, including touch screens and glass that easily pick up fingerprints. These long-lasting and reusable microfiber car cloths are a practical gift that car enthusiasts will love. See our post on types of microfiber cat cloths to use on your car interior.
Natural Car Air Fresheners
If you don’t want plastic air fresheners with overpowering scents in the enclosed space of your car, there are great, natural alternatives. For example, how about this Natural Oak Wood car Air Freshener? It comes with an essential oil – simply add a few drops onto the wooden design and clip it to your car’s air vents. As the air flows, the scent will fill your car without leaving a strong smell.
Upcycled Art Keychain
Creative types will love a practical piece of upcycled art like this Recycled Motherboard Heart Keychain. The keychains are carefully crafted from recycled motherboards, making them a unique and eco-friendly way to keep your car keys handy. There are various styles to choose from.
Reusable Travel Mug
Treat coffee lovers to a reusable travel mug for their daily commute or road trips instead of disposable cups that end up in landfills. A stylish stainless steel travel mug can even be used in some coffee shops. For example, customers at Starbucks can now use their clean, personal mugs for every coffee run. Moreover, this travel mug even has a car-themed message of “I’ll be in the garage” for someone who is really into their car.
Oil Change Gift
An oil change may not be as delicious as a box of chocolates when it comes to gifting! However, this practical present can help you drive “green” and help you save money. According to the US Department of Energy, you can improve your fuel economy by up to 2% by using the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil.
Furthermore, keeping your tires road safe can boost your gas mileage by up to 3.3%. In fact, if your tires are properly inflated, this translates into a free tank of gas a year and can help reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, too. See our tips on how to manage your car maintenance schedule.
Sustainable Car Mats
Cocomats are all handmade to order, making them a bit more special than your usual auto mat. The brand specializes in eco-friendly floor coverings made from natural coconut fibers. Alternatively, check out the brand’s Echo mat made from 100% abandoned fishing nets and upcycled carpet waste. The matting is available in different colors such as Tan, Bark, Stone and Black to suit different car interiors.
Wooden Car Puzzles
If you want to cut down on plastic gifts and add some fun and education to the holiday season, 3D Wooden Car Puzzles by Wooden City are a great choice. These puzzles are a greener way to delight car enthusiasts. Choose from miniatures of iconic vehicles crafted with great attention to detail. Children and adults alike will have a lot of fun piecing together monster trucks, retro models, rally cars and more. Moreover, model car interior detailing can keep people entertained for hours, too.
Conclusion
To sum up, there is an exciting range of eco-friendly gifts for car lovers who appreciate a greener gift different from the norm. For instance, the choices range from a steam-cleaning car wash to an upcycled keychain, ensuring something to suit your budget.
