Hey everyone,
I need help! My boyfriend is a mad vw fanatic and every year I'm at a loss as to what to get him for his birthday. He sometimes gives me a list of parts, but that never seems to work out - either I dont understand what hes talking about or cant find it, and I dont want to just give him cash.

But this year I want to get him something he'll love, and something that I can get without asking him obvious questions (I want it to be a surprise). Budget would be a max of $500.

I also dont want to give too much info away because he's also on this forum and he might figure out its me, so I cant answer too many questions about his bug. (Also I dont know a lot of the answers).

Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated!! 🙂

On top of these other ideas ...

Why don't you take a photo of his car to an artist and have them make a large painting of it for him. Present it to him framed.

Good luck.

Before buying any gift for a male VW enthusiast ask 3 questions:

Will it help look after his VW?
Will it make his VW go faster/look better ?
Is it a Porsche?

If you cant answer yes to any of these questions, you are better of just giving him his present in bed.😍

Cheers

This website has a heap of stuff on it

You could also look into an R/C version of his pride an joy. Ebay has them all the time.

Once you have an actual classic VW, it is a slippery slope into collecting toys of VWs, Games of VWs, magazines, books, posters, clothing etc.

I've been sliding down it for months now. I don't care where it leads, I'm just enjoying the ride!

You could get him a custom picture. I got one for my last birthday that came from this guy, http://www.caricatures.com.au/.

Or the cake like the one I got.

I got very disappointed yesterday. The girl who helped me move my '56 bought me a 1:37 scale '67 model and said they all look the same. To be honest I would have preferred a 1:1 scale GTI. Anything less was probably not going to cut it.
