Time’s ticking, and you’re on the hunt for something unique to give that special someone in your life. The first thing that comes to mind? Their love for cars. While handing over the keys to their dream ride might be a bit much, these thoughtful gift ideas are sure to earn you a big, beaming smile.
Dash cam
Looking for something a road tripper will love? How about a way to relive their favorite drives anytime they want? A dash cam is the perfect travel companion — capturing every winding road, epic view, and close call (“Remember that time I almost hit a moose?”).
Look for an HD model with a wide-angle lens to get the full picture.
Streaming music subscription
Turn someone’s boring commute into a personal concert or a moment of escape with unlimited access to their favorite tunes. A subscription to Apple Music, Spotify, or Amazon Music opens the doors to endless playlists, albums, and podcasts — all ad-free.
If your gift recipient spends a lot of time behind the wheel, consider Audible too. New audiobooks every month = pure joy on the go.
Rain-repellent windshield treatment
Driving through a downpour or a full-on snowstorm isn’t anyone’s idea of fun. That’s why anyone hitting Quebec roads — especially in winter — will appreciate anything that makes the ride smoother and safer.
A professional rain-repellent treatment creates a hydrophobic barrier on the windshield, causing water, snow, and slush to slide right off like magic. Get it done by the pros at Docteur du Pare-Brise for flawless results.
Advanced driving course
No matter their age or skill level, there’s always something new to learn behind the wheel. Whether they want to feel more confident on icy roads, venture off the beaten path, or push their limits on a racetrack, there’s a course for that.
Lessons from driving experts stay with you for life — and the experience itself is often unforgettable.
LED headlight conversion
Over time, headlights lose their brightness — and that yellowish haze isn’t exactly flattering. Instead of letting foggy lights dim their drive (literally and figuratively), treat them to a headlight LED conversion, offered by Docteur du Pare-Brise.
It’s a gift that’s practical, affordable, and above all, safer for nighttime driving.
Traction aids (a.k.a. grip boards)
Know someone who braves rough, snowy roads to get to their cabin? Help them stay safe with a solid pair of traction aids. These rugged grip boards slide under the tires to help get unstuck from deep snow or ice — no tow truck needed.
Look for durable models like the ones made by Quebec-based Garant.
Side window deflectors
Crack a window for fresh air during a storm, and you’re in for a soaking — unless you’ve got side window deflectors.
Perfect for anyone who loves a breeze no matter the weather, these sleek add-ons keep rain and snow out while letting air in. They’re easy to install (or let the Docteur du Pare-Brise team handle it), and they come in stylish black or chrome finishes. We recommend brands like Stampede and AVS.
Backseat organizer
Got a partner or parent who’s got stuff everywhere in their car? When the interior starts to resemble a teenager’s bedroom, it’s time to restore order with a backseat organizer. These handy storage units strap onto the front seats and feature compartments for sunglasses, tissues, chargers, snacks, tablets, and toys. Even the passengers will thank you for making space where their feet can actually go.
LEGO® Icons car kit
Inside every adult is a kid who misses the simple joy of building with colorful blocks. The LEGO® Icons collection brings that nostalgia back with detailed kits of legendary cars like the Porsche 911, Lamborghini Countach, and yes — the time-traveling DeLorean.
Piece by piece, it’s a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, with a display-worthy result at the end.
Truck toolbox
Here’s how to say thanks to Dad, your handy stepdad, or that generous friend with a pickup who always shows up with the right tool.
A truck toolbox adds a secure, weatherproof, and well-organized space to haul everything needed for the next DIY mission. Your local Docteur du Pare-Brise has a great selection in various styles and sizes. Drop by to find the one that best says, “I appreciate everything you do for me.”
