It's tiiiiiiime (if you don't read this with Mariah Carey's voice I don't know if we can be friends). Christmas is coming here fast so I've put together the ultimate gift selection for any budget for F1 and motorsports lovers in general.
Gift below 20 euros
Our socks - of course a little self promo will be included in this selection
Stickers and keychains - I have an obsession for stickers, my favorites are from the Queen herself Good Luck Tess
Illustrations / posters - there's all styles and prices for illustrations and posters
Scrunchies - I love By Meg's scrunchy especially the new neon yellow one in honor of Lando Norris!
Christmas ornaments - By Meg's also has the cutest ornaments !!
Water bottle or mugs - there's lots of them on Etsy
F1 Funko Pop figures
Tote bags, make-up bags, pouches or laptop sleeves - there's tons of options on Etsy, By Megs and Good Luck Tess make really cute designs as well. I personally love the ones from Enchanté or Parc Fermé they are bit pricier though.
Phone cases - so many options on Etsy, teams website, Rhinoshield, fan made merch etc.
Gift between 20 – 50 euros
F1 print – there's many very talented photographers that offer to print out their photos so you can decorate your place, for example Kym illman but feel free to reach out to your favorite photographers to know if they can print out their work
Drivers/teams hats - especially in the off season there's loads of sales to get a cap or a bucket hat for much cheaper / Or a hat from a Motorsport inspired brand like Parc Fermé, Sunday Fangirls, Enchanté etc.
Sessions on a racing simulator - There's more and more simulators places in cities so that coud be a cute date idea or get-together idea with friends
Any F1 book - from photographs to history of the sport, for any romance recommendations see this selection!
Gifts between 50 and 100 euros
F1 games : F1 manager or F1 24
A ticket for a day at a Grand Prix - most European Grand Prix have affordable options to attend with General Admission tickets, if you get a ticket for Friday or Saturday it's usually under 100 euros
Lego sets - There's many prices for Lego sets depending on the size
Team kit and official merch from teams
F1 inspired jewelry - I'm obsessed with these charms by PDPaola but there's more option on Etsy
Something from their favorite driver's brand - +44, Enchanté, Quadrant etc
Gift above 100 euros
Tickets to a Grand Prix - if you are feeling generous you can get a full week-end pass for a Grand Prix ! For some European Grand Prix in general admission it can cost around 250 euros
Mini helmets - my newest obsession, I am dying for a Lando Mini Helmet
Any gear to set-up their own simulator at home: screen, seat, steering-wheel etc.
A racing inspired onesie
Items from any F1 collaborations : McLaren x Levi's, F1 x Abercrombie etc.
A leather jacket or bomber jacket - either retro ones or newer designs, from moto-inspired jackets to super cropped ones, I love them all
Clothing inspired by F1 and motorsports from high-end brands like Ferrari, Becane Paris, Scuderia LTD, Rhude etc.
Big / once in a lifetime
If there's no budget then I have tons of ideas! This selection also works for birthdays of course and for big birthdays like 30, 40, 50, 60 or retirement these ideas are AMAZING
F2 two-seater experience - my friends offered me this gift for my birthday 2 years ago I still think about it it was insane. These kind of experiences are not offered everywhere so do research in your country where you can do it and for how much. For France I can only recommend Winfield in the South of France. Reach out in advance to know when you can actually do the experience, there's not many dates available.
F4 driving sessions - same thing I know Winfield does F4 driving sessions but not sure about other places and countries.
F1 driving experience - same thing I know Winfield does F4 driving sessions but not sure about other places and countries. This is extremely expensive beware, and this is for more "experienced" drivers.
Any driving course - with any kind of car is always a cool and unique experience that you'll never forget!
Paddock tickets - this is an obvious one I had to include it!
An F1 tire coffee table - I couldn't find any link to actually buy one, I saw actions and the official F1 store seemed to have ran out of them
