Dollar Tree Car Wash And Repair Gift Baskets For Men

Two gift basket ideas for guys who love their cars. These inexpensive yet extremely nice gift baskets were created with Dollar Tree items, including supplies to wash and shine his truck, car, or utility vehicle, as well as a handy tool assortment for minor fixes. 

The gift baskets are perfect for dads, Grads, teenage boys, car geeks, just about anyone….even the gals. The car guru would love this gift for Christmas, birthdays, anytime!

My hubby loves washing his car and shining up those wheels. I presented him with his surprise birthday gift basket, and an hour later, he was hard at work, or play, for him. He says the stuff in his gift basket is just what he needs!

The first basket I made was for the guy who cleans and shines his car from top to bottom every week. You know who I’m talking about! I put together the car care gift basket for a total of $9 plus tax. Can’t beat that for a cool guy gift, and it looks totally awesome. 

The only thing more fun than putting the manly gift baskets together is going through the store to pick out items for baskets.

For the car care basket, I bought wash-and-wax supplies, a sponge, car-smelling stuff, cleaning and buffing rags, tire polish, and a bucket with a handle.

The bucket is for the car wash water. Always pick something for your “basket” that can be used with the gift stuff. I also bought a smiley design plastic tablecloth for the “wrap.”

 

Now the bucket of goodies needs to look nice, so I added filler to the bottom so the gift goodies would set up nice and high in the bucket.

Next, I cut a piece of the “smiley” tablecloth and put it inside the bucket to cover the paper filler and spill over the edges of the gift bucket.

The only thing left to do is add the car stuff. I started with the tallest and biggest things in the back of the bucket, then filled in the other stuff on the sides and front.

I have to say I was impressed. It looks like something you would spend $50 for in the gift store. I didn’t plan it this way but the colors all worked together too.

Here is hubby taking a look at all the goodies and “modeling” the Dollar Tree gift basket for men!

Moving on to the second guy basket I put together.

The second basket is a car kit for keeping under the seat. One that has a few items in case of emergency repairs or minor fixes.

I bought a screwdriver, pliers, bungee cords, a multi-tool knife, duct tape (do you know a guy who doesn’t use duct tape), and a charger to plug into the lighter space to charge cell phones?

I used the smiley paper to showcase these goodies in a plastic box I also got at Dollar Tree. The total cost of this basket was $7 plus tax.

To get the tools to stand up and look nice in the “basket,” I put duct tape on the back sides of the plastic container to hold the lid up.

Another nice-looking basket. Just so you can see how handy this kit is and how it slides right under the car seat, I did this…

I took everything from the packages and packed it in the plastic container. It will fit perfectly under the seat now.

What car geek wouldn’t love this gift basket? What do you think of these gift basket ideas? Other ideas are a basket for the gardener Dad, a basket for the Lady’s man with lotions, colognes, and stuff, or maybe a food basket for couch potato Dads!
