Car DVR And Dashcams
A dashboard camera or a car DVR can be a thoughtful gift for your guy. These gadgets play key roles in ensuring vehicle safety. This article explains dashcams in detail. Modern-day DVRs come with a lot of features including ADAS.
There are a lot of brands selling quality dashcam models in India. An interesting example is the Uno Minda Car DVR. This can record 720p videos and has a 170° FOV. It comes with loop recording, motion detection, and ADAS features. Uno Minda DVR can integrate seamlessly with Android screens via USB, and supports microSD cards up to 32 GB. This DVR can be bought online.
If you are looking for 4K dashcams, there are a bunch of them on Amazon, from various manufacturers. Qubo Dash Camera Pro 4K is a ‘made in India’ product from Hero group, that delivers exceptional 4K recordings and packs tech like motion sensor, loop recording, and ADAS. It can be had in single-camera and dual-camera setups.
We sampled the dual camera unit in detail and were very impressed by the quality delivered, especially in night and low-light scenarios. (The full review has more findings and information!)

RS Chrono
This could be the BEST Valentine’s Day gift for your ‘car geek’ boyfriend or husband! It is romantic, fashionable and aligns well with his deep-rooted passion for cars.
RS Chrono is a wheel watch. For those of you who are still strange to the phrase, this is an analog watch whose dial looks like the wheels of legendary sportscars.
People love good-looking wheels, and RS Chrono builds on this affinity. The brand has got a wide range of wheel designs as dials of their luxury timepieces. The straps can also be customized. Available RS Chrono models are:
- Speedtail (McLaren 765 Wheels)
- Nismo (R35 Skyline Wheels)
- Bayer (BMW wheels)
- Petronas (Mercedes AMG wheels)
- Vorsprung (Audi RS wheels)
- Shelby (GT500 wheels)
These need to be bought from RS Chrono’s website. Using the coupon code ‘Vroomhead’ will get you a 10% discount on your preferred RS Chrono watch.
Car Speakers
Car guys will appreciate a good audio upgrade. Car speakers can thus be great Valentine’s gifts. Component speakers are great but expensive. JBL and Sony have great options on sale.
If you can’t afford a component speaker, try coaxials. These are less expensive, with a slightly compromised output quality. However, the trade-off is forgivable. JBL, Pioneer, Uno Minda, and Blaupunkt have great coaxial speakers available.
Uno Minda 200W 6″ 3 Way car speaker offers great value for its price. This is compatible with all car models and has a peak power output of 200 Watts. These offer good sound quality and are claimed to have good longevity. You can buy them on Amazon.
Car Metal Wall Art
Car enthusiasts will love this! These metal wall arts pack ample detailing and look like silhouettes of sportscars and luxury SUVs. The Porsche wall art and RR Cullinan piece look very impressive with their detailing. These are claimed to be easy to install, as they come with pre-drilled holes for mounting.
However, despite our best efforts, we couldn’t find any user reviews of this product on Amazon.
Lego Car Sets
Lego cars are expensive. They could drain your pockets with their prices. But Legos are fun and car guys love them! Lego currently has extremely detailed car sets for adults featuring popular models like Land Rover Defender, Mustang, Ford GT, Porsche 911, Ferrari Daytona, Ford Raptor etc. Check out the Lego vehicles portfolio on Amazon…
Custom car key chain
Keychains, we accept, are common gifts. But they are still likable. There are a lot of different ‘car guy’ themed keychains available. From those wearing logos and insignia of car brands and models, to the ones that are shaped like shifters, turbochargers, steering wheels, and car wheels. Keychains shaped like car number plates and car models with custom number plates are also in high demand.
You can also try gifting car key skins. These look great on modern ‘keyfobs’ without adding additional bulks to them. Think of these as wraps for your fobs. They can be had in various finishes like Carbon Fiber, Wood, brushed metal etc.
Custom printed mugs
These can be bought under Rs 500. Amazon currently has a bunch of interesting car enthusiast mugs featuring prints of various car and SUV models, quotes, and more. These can be great additions to every car lover’s collection.
Diecast Cars And Scale Models
Diecast cars and scale models are popular among car guys. Depending on the material, brand, scale, and detailing, they can vary in pricing. 1:18 scale offers excellent detailing and are often expensive as well.
1:32 scale cars of Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Rolls Royce etc are popular buys. However, if you are on a budget, consider buying the 1:43 scale. Products from Majorette, Bburago, and Maisto could be expensive, but come with great attention to detail. Budget-friendly brands are largely Indian and offer less detail.
Hope this article could deliver value, and was a good read. Happy Valentine’s day!
