Every garage is different. Each is individual as the owner of the home it is attached to. This is important to remember when selecting a gift for use in a person's garage. There are many items to choose from, which makes it easier to make a gift selection.
Practical
Many people need help in organizing their garages. CarGuyGarage.com shows the huge variety of organizational items available for installation in garages. From workbenches, tool boxes and shelving, something can be found in any price range to help those who are organizationally challenged. Racks for prized items such as bicycles are also thoughtful gifts.
Gifts that enhance safety of the garage are practical and thoughtful. For example, fire extinguishers and smoke alarms make excellent gifts for garage enthusiasts.
Flashlights also are handy gifts that will help the owner of the garage when working in dark places, like under the hood of a car. Many flashlights now come with clips, so they can be attached to a stationary object and light can be directed where needed. Snake lights with a long, flexible base serve the same way.
Shop vacuums come in a variety of sizes and price ranges and are very practical gifts that can be used for cleaning up after projects or cleaning the inside of a car.
For the person who has trouble knowing when to stop his car in just the right place when parking inside his garage, Poperautocare.com recommends Park Smart Mats. The mat is placed on the floor of the garage and has a bump on the end. When the driver pulls into the garage and feels the tire hit the bump, he knows to stop the car and the danger of hitting the garage wall is removed.
Fun
Decorative items for the garage are a fun gift option. For example, lighted signs or clocks featuring the logo of the favorite car residing in the garage are fun. Neon signs featuring the logo of a favorite sports team add brightness to the walls.
Games for the garage, such as a dartboard, add an air of amusement to the space. Foosball tables are another popular gift item to bring people together in the family garage.
Car-buffs.com suggests a jukebox as a great gift for those who spend time working in the garage. Today's jukeboxes work with CD's or with digital audio.
Personal
There are gift items for the garage that can be personalized for the owner. MailOrderShoppe.com offers parking signs that can be posted inside the garage with the car owner's name. For example, a sign can be personalized for a person named Michelle to read "No Parking Except For Michelle." For men, "Tim's Man Cave" is an alternative choice.
