TOOLS: 10-PIECE RACHET KIT + MCM GARAGE MAT
Sometimes getting tools as a present can be fraught because the person buying them may not quite know what to buy. However, we've got a couple of products on our store that are great little car-themed additions to stick under the tree for any festive gift-giving.
Our 10-piece ratchet set is designed to be a super-handy tool set that is great in a kitchen drawer for household jobs, or a glovebox for rapid repairs on the road. Similarly, our Garage Mat is a perfect floor or ground covering should you need to visit Terra Firma while in the shed, backyard, pit bay, or the side of the road. Featuring our Blueprint design it even makes a cool wall-hanging.
MEDIA: POSTERS + MUSIC
If you're wanting to vibe-up a room with some cool car posters, we have a range of posters available on the store right now, with the three-pack featuring three awesome cars that have appeared on the channel as captured by James Greig. These A1-sized posters feature cars like the Mk8 Golf R, our Renault Clio from our Le Mans trip, the K-swapped EK Civic, turbo sleeper Camry, Marty's S2 RX-7, the Super Garage Pontiac, turbo Kei truck, and the Perodua from our Malaysian endurance racing movie.
We've also got MOOG's latest vinyl record "SHIFT" which can be purchased in a sealed pack if you don't have a record player at home.
GARAGE HELPER: RYOBI SHOP LIGHT + BATTERY PACK
Having more light in your garage, even if you're not working on cars, is a great thing. If you're in a rental or an apartment building it's not always possible to hardwire in more lighting so getting some super-practical shop lights that are able to pump out bulk wattage, but also bend to suit the job you're doing, and fold down to a convenient storage size, is a fantastic present idea.
We've built up a collection of these lights in our workshops and home garages because they're just so useful no matter if you're swapping engine, installing a headunit, or fixing your kid's bicycle.
HANDY ACCESSORIES: TACTICAL BACKPACK & CHOPPED DUFFEL BAG
For some reason a lot of people like giving backpacks and gym bags for presents - at least in my family... maybe they're telling me I need to lose weight? - so an easy present idea is one of our super-handy Tactical Backpacks or MCM Chopped Duffel Bags.
These aren't just some MCM-branded things: we've gone out to find the best quality bags we can, as we use these on our international adventures, as track day bags for our helmet and gear, and for hauling laptops to the dyno or 4000 other jobs. We needed bags we could punish with how often we're dragging them around, so we went out to find the most-practical, but still good-looking, bags possible.
RANDOM GIFTS: MCM SUNGLASSES + THONGS + WALLET
We've all been there, when one relative insists on buying you some accessories to go on your face (sunnies), feet (socks or shoes), or in your pocket (a wallet). Why not send them these MCM-monogrammed presents so they can feel good about not buying you car parts for Christmas, while you can still get something from your favourite Best 4x4 Channel In The Alpha-Centauri.
Our wallets are a premium-quality offering, made with real leather, card-holders and packing a slim tri-fold design, while our sunglasses are UV-rated and feature the classic black design. The Chopped Thongs hit our store recently and even include a cheeky Chopped logo on the bottom to let the dirt know you're chopping it every step you take.
BIG PRESENT: HALTECH 40TH BIRTHDAY
Our mates at Haltech aren't having a Black Friday sale because they're deep into celebrating their 40th birthday this year (2026). With the epic discounts they've got live on their site at the moment it means it's the perfect time to pick up a Haltech ECU (including new plug-in options for GM Delco, Honda K-series, Nissan RB, Ford Barra, and more), dash (including the epic colour uC-10 screen), wideband controllers, merch or more.
We've used Haltech products for years, from long before they supported the show, because we're huge fans of their products and support, so if you've been waiting out to get yourself one of their products - like their new Nexus T1 or T2 ECUs we have used on a couple of projects - the time is NOW!
