The lights are up, the tree is decorated, and the gifts are wrapped neatly under the tree. Well, maybe not. Ready or not the holiday season is in full swing and if you haven't started already it's time to get started on the Christmas shopping. Fortunately you don't have to brave the shopping centers searching for the perfect gift. Especially if they are a car lover there are some great things you can get them without ever leaving your house.

For the car fanatic on your list you could take them out for a day of cars. A quick search online can give you a pretty comprehensive list of local car shows and auctions. Admission is typically pretty low, sometimes just donating to a charity or non-profit organization, but you could spend the day looking at cars, participating in the festivities, and just enjoying a day out. If their car is the way to their heart this Christmas here are a few ideas that could benefit them both. For a real high-end gift consider ultra wheels . Known for their sleek look and durability, Ultra Wheels are sure to look great on any vehicle. Another appearance enhancing gift that is sure to please is custom seat covers. Available in a wide variety of colors, designs, sizes, and custom lettering they not only look great but will also help to preserve the original seats for years to come. If you like the personalization but have a slightly smaller budget custom license plates and frames may be just your thing. These are available in many colors and designs and can be made with just about anything you could want; whether it is a personal joke or a way to promote a business. Have a car lover with a more practical side? Don't worry there are gift ideas for them as well. While there isn't much you can do to improve their gas mileage , there is something that you can do to help bring the cost down. Gift cards for a local gas station can help ease the burden of high gas prices or help afford those leisurely drives out of town. Many car lovers take pride in caring for their cars themselves. A gift basic full of car cleaning essentials --soap, wax, window cleaner, tire cleaner, brushes, and chamois --would be much appreciated. Finding the perfect gift for everyone on list can be a real challenge sometimes, especially if you are on a budget. The key is to be creative and utilize some of the great deals available online.
