Automotive-related gifts are sure to be a hit this Father's Day, especially for dads who treat their cars as a member of the family. You can play it safe with a gift certificate to a local auto parts and accessories store or you can be more adventurous and wash the vehicle or take it in to the shop for a tune-up. Here are a few fun ideas for the gearhead patriarch in your family.<\/p>\n
Put Together a Gift Basket<\/strong> Clean Dad's Car
\nIf you're not sure what to get your father, why not gather up a bunch of small items and create a clever car-oriented gift basket? You can include items like air fresheners, cleaning products, a tire pressure gauge and a gift certificate for a local car wash. Other fun additions like automotive magazines, a car figurine for Dad's office or a classic dad gift with a twist – a tie with cars on it – are sure to rev any father's engine.<\/p>\n
\nUnless your father is very particular about how his car is cleaned, you can surprise him by getting out the hose and soap bucket and giving his ride a wash. This is also a great way for young children to show dad they care. It can also be a fun activity for the kids to bond with their father if they do it together on Dad's special Sunday.<\/p>\n
