We all know that familiar old phrase that raises its ugly head the same time every year, right? It's the one that tries to convince us that the item, service, or program we are buying into will be looked at with the same amount of Holiday Spirit and joy all year round. Well, when most advertisers place the badge of, "the gift that keeps on giving" on things like jewelry, flowers, health spa memberships, and gift certificates for famous coffee shops, they might be stretching the yuletide emotion a little thin. With some reluctance, Subimods can actually appreciate the phrase when it truly serves that purpose for our customers and the Subaru community at large. Enthusiasts that may be preparing to dive into a major modification project or need to give to their favorite platform throughout the year and benefit from the repeated investments. We do our very best to create and maintain an amazing shopping experience for all of our customers, but with the Subimods Diamond Club Membership, we can truly say that the options give back more value and gifts than we could have imagined. A great gift option for this holiday season is this monthly subscription program that provides the member with a monthly points bonus, the benefit of free ground shipping and, when placing an order they will further boost their earnings by receiving additional rewards points. A Diamond Club Membership is a great gift for the active modifier looking to save, see continual rewards, and truly experience a gift that keeps giving and giving for only $9.99 per month .

As we often say here at Subimods, the best memories and times we experience usually are born from the conversations we have in the community. Whether it be at an event, in a garage over an engine bay, or driving down the road with a fellow enthusiast as they share the evidence of their newest modification, we have all noticed something special or unique that prompts us to say, "Wow, that's cool. Where did you get it?". Sometimes the most simple, inexpensive, unique addition to your vehicle can get the most attention just because it is interesting. Most of the time the extreme head turning comes from an added sound enhancement, an exterior modification, or a new set of wheels or tires. Sometimes it's a new, dramatic interior change that really pops and transforms the energy level for the driver and passenger. Considering that our aim is to help find unique, possibly funny, or quirky conversation pieces that could be thrown in an enthusiast's holiday stocking, we felt this item fit the bill conceptually and visually. The GReddy Shift Knob Hoodie is a great gift item for the enthusiast who truly has everything and wants to give another level of unique personality to a friend or family member's vehicle cabin without making a substantial investment. Along with being an interesting humorous piece of miniaturized car lover fashion, this item is also very practical. This plush Shift Knob Hoodie protects the driver's hand from both a hot or cold metal shift knob and gives a comforting rest to a fatigued hand during those long drives. For an affordable price of $12.00 each, it could be an elegantly unique gift for their favorite Subie.

Many may wonder what else could be appealing as a holiday gift since there are only so many fun novelty items that would be appropriate for the Subaru enthusiast and that could actually fit in their stocking. If we start examining gifts we have received in the past that were dumped out of our stockings onto the floor, we might recall a mixture of small toys, candy, and the standard items of practice use and/or need, hence the common tales of socks and mittens being mixed into the collection. But, we must admit, we probably got more mileage out of the socks Santa gave us since the candy and toys usually were eaten or played with until boredom rather quickly. There is nothing wrong with a good, practical gift - especially if it combines style and functionality to assist in operational efficiency or sustaining the life of your home car, or other necessities. Every enthusiast has practical needs for their Subaru. As we are not suggesting stuffing bottles of motor oil in the sock, we would direct you to one product on the list that could be both a stylish enhancement and an effective efficiency additive. The HKS 1.1 Bar Limited Edition Radiator Cap is a great choice for the right driver who wants to improve performance through the functionality of their cooling system. This product from HKS was designed to hold more pressure than a factory radiator cap which in turn allows your vehicle to operate with more efficiency while extending component life. This high quality radiator cap has a 1.1 bar pressure rating while its sleek visual appeal shines brightly with a polished finish branded with a stunning Red HKS Sticker. At $24.27, this product could be the favorite gift talked about for years to come.

When a person is a big fan of a specific person, place, or thing nothing will get in the way of their proudly showing appreciation by displaying the public identity of their object of affection in every environment and in every situation. As enthusiasts we know this mindset all too well. We all take part. We are proud of the brands we invest in to make our cars perform better and to therefore impress our peers and community. That's some of the energy we live for each day. When we attend events like track days, SubieFest, or other gatherings we can observe a sea of t-shirts, hats, hoodies, stickers, banners, and many other creations that both colorfully and sharply display support for a product, brand, or specific team. The Subimods catalog has an interesting collection of merchandise from brands and products that outfit a wide range of the Subaru spectrum. One product that stood out to us and what we felt would make a unique and stylish stocking stuffing gift for the proudest enthusiast needed to be included on this list because it was too perfect to omit mentioning. Another offering from the folks at HKS comes in at the novelty end of the dial, but could prove to be practical as well is their colorfully branded HKS Sandals. The enthusiast who loves to amplify the summer style of their feet may enjoy pulling these out of their stocking and begin anticipating a stroll across the beach or at a warm July track event. These sandals have a HKS branded oil color design, moderate elastic and flexible soles, a three-dimensional, form fitting shape that is both comfortable and easy to wear during relaxation or casual walking. A quality gift for any serious fan of the HKS brand of products, these sandals (which come is Medium, Large, and XLarge) are a great gift consideration for the $35.00 price.

Enthusiasts know that not everything related to a vehicle's modification and what is important to the look and personality is seen on the outside, heard through the car's voice, or felt behind the wheel. We realize that some of the most impactful additions to an upgrade might just live in the hidden or covered places around the car that pop with color, sheen, or style when exposed to the eye - therefore, prompting conversation and comparison. Many enthusiasts upgrade and enhance down to the finest detail including the introduction of colored bolts and small hardware, covers, cables, and caps, just to name a few. Something that is quite frequently known as the most invisible and less than attractive component under the hood is the dipstick with its boring but functional handle just sitting silently until maintenance prompts its responsibility to life. A small but effective enhancement gift for the enthusiast who may have thought of everything for their BRZ or WRX, might be a new, stylish Red Finished Aluminum Loop Style Dipstick Handle from the premiere manufacturer PERRIN, designed for both FA20 and FA24 engine types. Some may think that this gift may not be as stylish as some other component adds, but once the driver replaces that unattractive OEM plastic dipstick handle with PERRIN's upgrade, the instant pop of color and quality will level up on the engine's performance personality. This product is manufactured from 6061 billet aluminum, finished in a stunning red powder coating, and has a stylish loop design that quickly magnetizes the eye into focus. The dipstick handle can be installed easily and proves to be both an affordable and simple way to create one more point of quality within the engine bay. So, if you are thinking of one more item under $50.00 to include in your last minute holiday giving, the PERRIN DipStick Handle comes in at a cost of $37.50 - a great investment for that special enthusiast in your life.

As we talk about the enhancement of both style and functionality, we can also include the most important aspect of a great gift giving to the most particular and choosy enthusiasts. Many enthusiasts modify their vehicles just to have a head turner when they drive around in their residential neighborhoods and communities, when they attend events, or when they actually enter the vehicle in competitions to exhibit both its visual and creative appeal. Other enthusiasts modify for a multifaceted purpose that includes all the reasons mentioned, but also aspire to pursue the ultimate goals of victory through high performance, whether it is track, drift, or overland adventure. When you get down to it, these are the enthusiasts who look at the most intricate components on their vehicles as important puzzle pieces to maintain both the normal operation and efficiency of the vehicle each day, but also look ahead to the scenarios they may confront in competition. Every little enhancement or upgrade gives an advantage or saves time when the pressure is on and obstacles need to be addressed. A smart, yet again, simple gift for the performance-loving driver might be something that gets them out of the most frustrating jam they could imagine, but in the end they will thank you for your intuition. The gift of a 20-Pack of GKTECH Open Ended Lug Nuts may be the most thoughtful investment you could make to contribute to the success of this important friend or loved one. This will eliminate the standard, generic, aluminum wheel lug nuts whose threads can strip easily and cause major issues when out on the track in competition. The GKTECH M12x1.25, M17 (aka 17mm) hex head steel wheel nuts have extra length at 2.16'' (55mm) for extended studs, are open ended, have a 60° taper, and are engineered with a slimline design to fit aftermarket wheel styles. This product also comes in an array of colors including Black, Gold, Purple, Red, Blue, Neo Chrome, and Silver to match any wheel style and color. Priced at $42.00, this 20-pack would definitely bring a smile on their holiday.

Over the years we've all received our share of forgettable gifts during this time and season. Whether it be an ugly sweater or a bargain book that no one has read, there are gifts that you then wished could align with your true interests and passions. At the very least, something that can reflect your pride in a brand, something you follow, or an idea that is important to your belief system. As gift givers who are often caught up with the last minute rush and stress of the season, we tend to make quick decisions based on obligation since we don't want to come empty handed to the celebration. Now with all that in mind, we again approach the mindset and heart of the enthusiast, who loves their car, cherishes the investments they have made to reach the point their dreams have outlined, and enjoys all there is about the Subaru tribe and community of like-minded obsessed. We all attend events, inside and outside, and (it seems) we walk for miles and miles around sun-baked racetracks, humid sports complexes, and stuffy convention halls to see each and every offering, custom build, and industry luminary that is available for engagement. We also spend a lot of time in hot garages working on our own vehicles for hours at a time. It's always nice being prepared and having a source to quench your thirst and to address some dehydration issues when in these scenarios. We know that the world is inundated with options for holding and easily transporting liquid. We would have to admit that the majority of these cluttering our homes have no real quality, worth, or personal reflection of our passion. That's why they gather dust. A great gift to stand alone among these boring space takers would be the HKS Premium Large #87 Drink Bottle, the one of two bottles offered by this iconic company that is larger, more robust, and can keep any drink choice cool or hot, making it the perfect solution in any of the scenarios we have described. This 32 oz bottle is decorated with the HKS logo and the symbolic #87 to honor the brand's race team. Made of 18/8 stainless steel, this ZeroBarrel - “Go for Zero Waste” - product also is a physical support of reduced waste production. At $55.00, this is an eco-friendly gift that will help to quench thirst all year round.

As we've repeatedly mentioned, enthusiasts do like to advertise their passion for brand and performance through their individual fashion sense which includes the hats they wear, the shoes they choose, and the clothes they put on their backs. At events and even in everyday public view we will see or be seen in apparel or sporting merchandise that screams "Die-Hard Subaru Enthusiast". It is evident that mostly every brand caters to this desire to share the love and proclaim dedication to a specific lifestyle whose center of gravity is the car and model that these enthusiasts have chosen for themselves. The most precious element for a true enthusiast is individual uniqueness, expression through their creative vision, and, again, a component to prompt a conversation through a state of commonality that keeps all of us on the same journey and pursuing the spirit of fellowship that is crucial to the communities existence. As many of our readers and individuals who frequently attend Subaru enthusiast events around the country realize, Subimods is a big source of unique merchandise dedicated to the spirit of the creative modifier and Subaru lover. We offer apparel, merchandise, and swag that is labelled with some of the most iconic and premiere brands known to the aftermarket industry, but it is our brand and unique design choices that stand out when the crowds gather and the interest builds to outfit with style and swagger. The hoodie has always been a staple uniform choice for many a comfortable-hungry car lover. You usually see a vast army of them spread within the crowds at cooler temperature events. The team at Subimods is proud of one of the newest designs to enter our catalog and felt it was a perfect addition to this holiday gift giving list. The Subimods branded "Guilty Pleasures Series Hooded Sweatshirt" is not only a great holiday gift, but we guarantee that it will turn heads and create conversations both in and out of our community circle. Our design collaboration with Iconic Garage has provided a quality, 100% customized, hand drawn graphic image that can only be grabbed from Subimods. This premium relaxed fit, mid weight 9.4 oz fleece pullover with kangaroo pocket, ribbed sleeve cuffs, drop shoulder, and self-fabric lined hood comes in three unique designs, including "Motor Sauce", "Cool Blue Drink" and "RYNGS" for only $60.00, a price that will definitely make you a memorable giver this season. 

Sometimes you just want to give that special someone an additional gift just to show your appreciation for all they do. Maybe go that little extra mile to slip one more item their way to satisfy a need they mentioned in passing that you know would not only make them smile and lift their day, but also enhance their life a little more than if the gift hadn't come at all. Some gifts have that power. Just when you think it is not impactful, it's too simple, it's not expensive enough, or it might not be as glamorous as something another person has brought, the reaction is quite the reverse from disappointment. There are some gifts that just bring a pop through design, color, brand value, or functionality. There can be a real joy associated with how the simple things affect the heart of a Subaru enthusiast. We feel that the most thoughtful attention to detail and pursuit over true need and necessity are what makes the relationship and understanding between Subaru enthusiasts an incredibly important facet of the foundation of the community. Picking the last item on the list was not about price, style, or function, but it was truly about the simplicity of placement and how the visual change could affect the emotion and pride of the owner. This item may be the first upgrade a new enthusiast may apply, or it might be the last of several years of additions, one just overlooked because of its usual invisibility - of course, until it's needed. We thought, in either scenario, selecting this as a gift would be a fitting conclusion since it will serve as a stylish, functional, and practical enhancement gift, qualities we all should strive for when picking out the simple, last minute items to conclude our season. Once again, from our friends at PERRIN, their Red Round Style Oil Cap would serve most enthusiasts who want to put a first or finishing touch on their precious Subaru modification. We can honestly say that adding this item gives the engine bay a clean, tasteful look of modern styling with a smart stunning pop of red. This sleek looking oil cap with its knurled grip design made for easy removal and installation, sits to the right of the engine proudly displaying the PERRIN logo prominently. This product was manufactured from 6061 Billet aluminum and finished with an anodized surface to protect against corrosion. An investment of $61.50 will allow you to give one of the most stylish and practical enthusiast gifts of 2024.
