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…!”

World Cup Kid’s Gift in 5 Words:

Creative, Reading, Personalise, Football, Clubs

Is your kid into footy? Does he or she love reading? How about starring them in their own football story book?

World Cup Kid

We think this is an ideal present for any child that likes football and enjoys reading. It’s an unusual and personal gift that will last and show off to friends. There are all lots of different teams available but the biggest fun, in our opinion, is creating your own team, say for the World Cup, giving it a team name and a custom football kit.

What you get

24 Colour pages
Glossy cover
Large format (213 x 280mm)

What you can personalise

The team
Kids name
Hairstyle and colour
Skin tone
Stadium name
A Manager name
2 Extra player names
A personal message

Other Personalised Children Books

Jim Says “My daughter loves reading and although she says ‘football is for boys ONLY’ so maybe I’ll get her a Personalised Princess Book.“

Personalised Childrens Books

Imagine your child transported to a safe and wonderful world of children’s stories. A personal and magical gift…

Personalised Children’s Gifts in 5 Words

Story, Personal, Imagination, Keepsake, Colourful

Noddy Scores and Peppa Plays

My daughter loves stories. She’s also big on role play and making up her own stories. Her face lights up and she becomes very animated when we tell a story together.

This is why I rate these books. They are stories with familiar characters with your child’s name as part of the story.

Boys v Girls

In this range of story book gifts are some well known characters and situations for boys: Football Book, Medieval Knight, ‘Silverhatch’ (motor-racing).

For girls the range includes the classic ‘Personalised Princess Book,’ Flowertot Garden, and of course ‘Your child and Peppa Pig Go To Playgroup.’

Personal Touches

What I also like about this range from GoneDigging are the personalisation details including the ability to choose a cartoon picture of a child, for the front cover of the Peppa Pig story. Choose a hair style and colour.

The Children’s Football Book gift you can choose: the team, stadium name, and a manager plus a lot more.

Plan Ahead

Because these wonderfully colourful personalised gift books have so much detail you will have to allow 7 days and you have to be very careful that you double check all the personalisation details. I always get someone else to read what I’ve entered to make doubly sure every detail is in order.

Jim Says “I love a story and to have my daughter’s name in print is a big thrill. This gift also gives me a keepsake for years to come.”

Times Newspaper Jigsaw Puzzle

Jim — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 12:00:17 +0000

What am I going to buy this year? It’s a regular refrain. Birthday coming and I can’t think of anything unique…

The Times Never Change

Do they read The Times of London? Does he like a good read? Does he disappear into his paper for hours on end, only emerging occasionally to grunt for more tea? Well now you can get rid of him for longer with a Times Newspaper Puzzle.

Make a Date

Venture onto the GoneDigging site and you are presented with plenty of ideas that will help you win the annual gift-giving battle. What makes this jigsaw puzzle a personal and unique gift is that you pick the date of the newspaper and the cover of The London Times, for that date, is used to create a 400 piece puzzle.

So Good you can Personalise it Twice

Every box comes with a space where you can write your own personal message; a very neat addition that gives this gift an extra flourish.

Times on his Hand

I wonder what was on the cover of the Times when I was born. I was going to buy my brother one of these but his birthday coincides with a great deal of national strife and the paper being on strike, downed tools, and vats of tea being drunk.

On second thoughts that might work…

What we Say “This is a fun gift that combines the personal with recent history.”

‘…my nephew was thrilled…’ - begins this testimonial on the GoneDigging for personalised gifts site.

Hard to Buy for?

…with the history of Liverpool’s personalised football book I purchased for his 18th birthday…’ So says Elizabeth from Merthyr Tydfil, on the GoneDigging site. Some family members are very tricky to buy for and it’s such a relief when the chance you took pays off; like it did for this aunty.

The Tricky 18th Birthday Gift

I find it difficult choosing a present that will go down well with an eighteen year old. My nephew is into music but it’s Hip Hop and I know nothing about it. Alex is not into sport so I can’t do an Elizabeth and go for a football book. But if you have a nephew turning eighteen (or any age for that matter; well as long as he can read) just find out his team and pay a visit to GoneDigging.

Premier League Gifts

There are over fifty English, Welsh and Scottish clubs to choose from on the site; everyone from the top names, the Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd top dogs to the hard core like Hull, Burnley, Hibernian, Leicester, and Charlton.

Your Nephew’s Name in Gold

Once you’ve selected a team it’s so simple to add his name in gold to the cover (it costs a bit more – but what an effect) and he’ll get around one hundred years of club history, retold in newspaper stories. Eyewitness accounts, evocative pictures, drama, and a fair amount of behind the scenes stories add up to a treasure trove of footy glory.

What we Say “Buying for nephews can be tricky but if he is a footy fan then this personalised football gift will suit him down to the ground.”
