Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is an avid fan of motor racing, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that you could consider for him this Christmas. Here are five ideas to get you started:

1. Racing Experience: You could consider purchasing him a racing experience. Many racetracks offer “arrive-and-drive” style experiences that let drivers get behind the wheel of a real racecar and take it for a spin around the track. If your son has dreams of becoming a professional racecar driver, this could be an incredible way to encourage his passion while giving him an unforgettable experience.

2. Racing Gear: High-quality racing gear, like helmets, gloves, shoes, and suits, are an appealing and practical gift that any motor racing fan will love. You could purchase him a racing helmet similar to his favorite driver or one with the right safety ratings, so he can feel like a professional driver every time he races.

3. Racing Video Games: If your son loves racing but might not be old enough to drive yet, or if he simply enjoys racing games, you could consider buying him a new racing video game. From classic titles like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport to newer games like Dirt Rally and F1 2020, there is no shortage of great racing games that he would love to play and compete.

4. Autographed Memorabilia: Racing enthusiasts often love to collect autographed memorabilia from their favorite drivers. Especially since certain races were closed to spectators this year, an autographed hat, shirt or photo will make for an exceptional and personalized gift from his favorite driver.

5. Racing Books: The storytelling of a racing book can be the gift of adventure that excites your son to learn more about racing. Your son may enjoy a biography of his favorite driver, a history of a particular racing circuit, or even fictional stories like the popular Rush movie about the F1 racing season of 1976.

Ultimately, whatever gift you decide to give your son, by showing your support for his passion for motor racing with a gift that is meaningful and personal, you will help to nurture and further his love of the sport while giving him an exciting and memorable gift this Christmas.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
