Last minute Christmas shopping? Here's a guide for all the neat stuff you can order so that it can arrive on...MLK Day.
Oopps.
Hopefully this will uncover some more interesting options that perhaps you've never thought of, hitting some notes that your family and friends might be interested in.
For next year, I guess.
Gifts for Jalops
A $100 Snap-On Gift Card
Now I know what you're thinking: oh, did you just go there? A gift card, as the first suggestion?
Yup.
Every Jalop needs tools, but do you know what kind of tools? Take the stress out of it and just get him or her a gift card.
Chevy Camaro Travel Mugs
It's not too late to run down to the dealership at least, and if you're going to buy branded crap, why not some branded crap your Jalop friend can actually use in the car? These !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! will keep his or her coffee warm and let them show off their brand loyalty.
Not into travel mugs? ChevyMall offers !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
I could personally go for all three, myself. Especially a tumbler or three. And a '71 RS split-bumper to go along with them.
WeatherTech Floor Liner
Speaking of useful gifts that actually get used in the car, floor mats are pretty nifty. Properly fitting floor liners are even better. The dirty footwell of my car can tell you that much. We've all seen the ads on TV and in MT and C/D: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! promise a precise fit and are Made in the USA.
Agusta Westland AW 609 Tilt-Rotor in die-cast form from Schuco
This one might require some international shipping. Still, a die-cast tilt-rotor is pretty darn neat, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . German die-cast maker Schuco also offers the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! as well as a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
There's also classic !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that offers an extensive line of die-cast cars, planes and military vehicles. Or maybe !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is more to your liking, including a die-cast !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Revell 1/24 '49 Merc Woody
Or maybe your Jalop friend prefers some assembly required. The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! just came out; the sedan version has been popular in plastic for years. Of course, if your Jalop friend has a specific car in mind, chances are Revell has it.
Don't forget to throw in some glue and paints with it too.
Top Gear USA + Counting Cars DVD Seasons 1 & 2 Box Sets
Yeah, I know what you're thinking but I for one find these shows highly entertaining, and the Nielsen ratings don't lie. Find them both at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
Porsche 8 Gigabyte USB drive shaped like a 918 Spyder
Because sometimes !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Besides, for the price of a MB-branded USB card, you get 6 more gigs and it doubles as a Hot Wheels 918 . Find it !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Gifts for Non-Jalops
Nintendo 3DS/2DS
You've probably already got the PS4 and XB1 on your shopping list. Or maybe your friend or sibling or child already has one. Maybe they already have a 3DS too, but it's such a great portable console and with all the love going to the big consoles someone needs to promote the little guy.
While you're at it, maybe you can give your loved one a Gamestop reservation for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! due this spring.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
American Pickers + American Restoration + Pawn Stars DVD Collections
Given my love for Top Gear USA and Counting Cars you probably saw this coming. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Panasonic ErgoFit RP-HJE120-D Ear Buds
I know from personal experience that finding a pair of earbuds that are cheap and not full of suck is hard to do. Panasonic's got you covered. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

VirtualDJ software
The best gifts are useful and free. VirtualDJ will let your audiophile (and even non-audiophile) friends and family have fun engineering their own sounds. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
And because I am that Oppo-Savvy , yes, I know, one of you is going to put a comment on that chick's boobs (except Kinja will put it next to the fade slider). Don't look at me I just got the image from C||Net.
Book Club Options
Because books are typically a safe option and because I'm a wannabe writer, um, because.
