Motor Sport Gifts in 5 Words:

Book, Experiences, Stig, Spoof, Silverhatch

Do you have a F1, car or motor sport fan in the family? Here’s 5 car gift ideas to help.

1. Personalised F1 Book – Sport History

I used to watch F1 every Sunday. These days I’m busy with my daughter. But I am fascinated by the back scene stories.What makes this a great gift for a F1 fan is the vivid pictures and ‘of-the-moment’ reporting and the fact you can gold emboss a name on the front. Fab F1 gift!

See the details of this Formula 1 gift idea

2. Driving Day Experiences – Brrrrrrrrrm!

I’m hoping to buy a new car soon. I wish I had the time to go on one of these driving days to test out the top of the range super cars. I’d love to have the Audi R8 Thrill. There are loads of different car makes and types of driving to explore eg Ferarri, Lotus, Aston Martin etc…

3. Stig Poster Gifts – Personal Driver

Some say he’s a marketing exercise that has gone horrible right. All I know is he’s a genius and I want to be him. Any Top Gear fan will tell you how much they admire the Stig and then wonder “Who is he?” These posters give your Top Gear fan the opportunity to announce themselves as ‘THE STIG!’

4. Motor Racing Magazine Spoof – Pun-tastic!

This is one of those simple gift ideas done very well. You personalise the cover of a spoof Magazine called ‘TOP SPEED.’ You add a name and a picture and have it framed for full effect. Pun headings include: ‘Dead Tyred’ and ‘…torques to us.’

5. Silverhatch, the Book – Boy Racer!

This is the perfect idea for a boy racer, if he’s 5 – 7 he’s going to enjoy being the subject of a personalised story tracking down Maxi, the fastest car ever to race at ‘Silver Hatch,’ Who has gone MISSING!

Jim Says “It’s the R8 Thrill for me every time and then I want the Aston Martin and then…!”

Christmas Gifts for Him 2010 Preview I

Jim — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 11:30:22 +0000

Christmas Gifts 2010 for Him in 5 Words:

Personalised, Sport, History, Book, Dad

Are you looking for a sport book for your Dad, or the man in your life, this Christmas? This is our sports book gift choice for 2010.

Personalised for Him

Men like sports and men like sports stats. We all like to be addressed to by our given name. Sport is drama. Sport is soul. Imagine combining these facts in one gift? When you give a Christmas present give one with their name on it. All these books allow you to gold emboss a name on the cover plus a personalised title page.

Tuck Him into History

Every one of these books is a feast of drama, goal-mouth scrambles, close finishes, last-minute knockouts and action from the past captured in thrilling eye-witness reports and vivid press photography.

Satisfy His Soul

Every man identifies with his heroes. Every man wants to be the hero. We can’t. We spend too much time earning a living, having a laugh and imagining. Treat him with a book about his favourite sport at Christmas and you will satisfy his soul (and keep him out of trouble).

Top Personalised Sports Books:-

Jim Says “Sport is a personal experience and this top selection offers all fans the chance to relive their passion. I want the Rugby edition!”
