So I have these friends I've known for 5 years who are finally tying the knot this sunday. Problem is, I only just remembered about the event yesterday and am now panicking a bit about gift ideas for them. Would you guys be able to help out?

The pair of them are car enthusiasts and are avid sim racers (her because of him, I might add), and have done some grassroots-level kart racing as well. When I first thought of it the gift I pictured in my mind was a plushie teddy bear couple decked out in racing overalls and a helmet (or something like that) but I'm not sure they can be easily found. Any other suggestions?

Just bear in mind that:

- I live in Singapore, so shipping might be an issue

- I'm still studying (university freshman) so obviously can't have anything too expensive

- I've only 5 days left (I know, my fault)

Any and all help would be very much appreciated, and no suggestion is too silly or outlandish (and if it were, I'd just imagine slapping you across the face).

Thanks muchly!

See if there are any karting tracks around or race tracks and see if some sort of package to get them out there in karts or cars is feasible for you

Perhaps there's some sort of "race for charity" where they live? If so, donate some money in their name.. If not, send them a bunch of epic spices from Singapore.

I've always considered money for the divorce lawyer as the perfect wedding present.

Full day go-karting pass for two?

How about a diecast wagon of some sort fill the back with cash and a note jokingly mentioning not becoming minivan people when they have kids:)
Cash is the best no matter what their back story is sure nice deposit into the bank could help.

Someone's secret senna gift was this really cool cutting board with FR-S and a car on it

Not a bad idea, except they live here too, so don't think the spices will work :)

Only one kart track in this country and it costs like $40 per person for 10mins. And they aren't strangers to karting either...
