7 Good Gifts For Truck Owners Under $25
Jason Lancaster | Nov 17, 2008 | Comments 1
With the holiday shopping season looming on the horizon, and with consumer confidence lower than ever, we thought it might be nice to put together a list of gifts that you can get the truck owner in your life that each cost less than $25. Of course, the challenge is coming up with a list of good gifts. No gloves, no ties, no official TundraHeadquarters merchandise (not that it’s not good), no digital tire pressure gauges, etc. Here’s our favorites:
TIP: If you’re the truck owner and you want something on this list, why not “accidentally” leave this website on the screen when you’re done with the computer? You could also print this list out and “accidentally” leave it somewhere anyone can find it. Anyways, on to the list…
The original LifeHammer can break a vehicle window out in an emergency, making it a great gift for showing you care (not to mention how cool it is to get a nifty looking orange hammer). The best part? It’s on sale right now for less than $20.
LifeHammer – What better way to show you care than to get someone a gift that just might save their life? This little hammer can bust a vehicle window with a modest strike, making it a potential life-saver after a crash when a vehicle door won’t open.
Deltran Battery Charger – This is a nice, inexpensive addition to any home garage. Since it’s a “trickle-charger,” it’s especially helpful for anyone with a vehicle (say a motorcycle, boat, atv, or second vehicle) that sits for weeks without use. Get the Deltran Jr. Battry charger for less than $25.
Accupark’s Tire Stop is a smart buy for anyone with a tight-fitting garage.
Accupark Tire Stop – Are you (or someone you know) having problems getting the truck stopped in the right place in the garage? Instead of going into the garage to far and hitting the mower, the tool chest, or the wall, why not install one of these hefty tire stops? Stick it on the floor where you want your tire to “bump” and you’ve got a simple (and cheap) parking system. This one’s a no-brainer.
Garage Wall Bumpers – Today’s trucks are bigger than ever, and most garage’s are too narrow to accommodate them (especially with all that stuff you put in there). These plastic guards protect your truck’s doors (and your garage walls) from being dented or dinged when you open your doors. No more twisting and turning your body when you get out of your truck to keep from getting a ding…if only they came in a color besides yellow.
Wagan Snowbrella – Here’s another simple (yet smart) idea. Instead of scraping frost off your windshield every morning, just put this cover over the windshield and secure it to your truck with the provided straps. It insulates and protects from frost and snow, and when it’s time to leave, it folds up fast. Great for getting a quick start on a cold morning.
Heated Seat Cushion – Nobody likes a cold truck. If you’re not fortunate enough to have factory heated seats, this is a very inexpensive alternative. The cushion plugs into the cigarette lighter and heats up pretty quick. Getting it to stay in place is a little tricky, but you can’t beat the value. If you or someone you know has to get in a cold vehicle this winter, this heated seat cushion might make their day(s). It works in more than just trucks too.
Quixx Paint Scratch Remover – This kit promises to permanently remove scuffs and scrachtes, and while it doesn’t work on every scratch, it does a fine job on most (deep scratches are tough to repair, but this kit makes them a lot harder to see). Works quite well – we know first-hand.
Stay tuned for more posts about gifts in the coming days…it’s going to be like the home shopping network around here!
