We took a breather for the L.A. Auto Show this week so the Gift Garage
is moved officially to Thursday. Now every week on Thursday you can
come to Ask Patty and learn all about the coolest auto gifts for gals.
Make sure to mark your calendars!
Speaking of calendars, the Lyn St. James Foundation has a calendar on
sale for this year and it’s super cute! The Mission of the Lyn St.
James (LSJ) Foundation is to provide leadership, vision, resources and
financial support in order to create an open environment for women's
growth in automotive fields. Through its driver development program,
the LSJ Foundation has trained more than 150 female race car drivers
from 38 states and two countries and has also contributed to Girls,
Inc., the Wilbur Shaw Soap Box Derby in Indianapolis, as well as other
charitable organizations. Show your support and purchase this great motor sports calendar!
Purses are always great gifts. But if you want a unique take on the plain, check out Bucklebags.
They have purses, messenger bags, and backpacks all made out of
seatbelts! And it’s not just the ugly tan and brown and black colors
that you see in your own car. They have pink and white and orange and
yellow… and just about any color you could think of! They even have
great options for the man in your life.
If you are feeling
crafty and want to make something automotive for a gift, why not create
your own purse out of seat belts? Copy these directions
and give it a whirl. Hey, it’s better than gluing some gears together
and calling it “art.” Better yet, save your time and just buy a cute
one from Bucklebag and say you made it!
What do you get the gal with everything and a huge driveway? How about a CarTurn?
Wait, I’ll tell you what it is. It is basically a large turntable for
your car or truck. CarTurn allows you to turn your car effortlessly,
eliminating the need to back into traffic. It can be installed above
ground in a few minutes in your driveway or even your garage. It will
rotate your car or truck up to 360 degrees!
There are other car-type belts out there but this one has panache and
funky style add to the equation. Be the first to own it! The Tattoo Bottle Cap Belt
is all about attitude and looking good. It is made from recycled rubber
and bottle caps with creative tatoo art. The belt features an
automotive seat belt buckle with three snaps for micro-adjusting your
belt, plus the buckle snaps off so that you can easily glide your belt
through smaller belt loops.
Dings in your car are about the worst thing to come back to when you
are out holiday shopping. Someone parked too close to you and they come
out of the shop, loaded to the sky with shopping bags, open their car
door too wide and BANG! Well, what if you could saunter right over and
with a tool as small as a pen, cover up the ding? You can! With the AutoVisuals
pen, you can get the exact match to your car paint and carry it right
in your purse. It covers up dings and scratches like a charm!
We cover mostly automotive products at Ask Patty but we couldn’t pass up this seriously funky lamp.
It is made from bike components and has unique ways of lighting up.
Even for a weekend gearhead, this is a fun gift. We guarantee it will
be different from every other gift they receive!
Tune in next week for more great gifts!
always
