Best Corvette related Christmas gift you've received
My kids want to buy me "nice" gift this year. One is an electrical engineer and the other and explosivess engineer, so I don't mind going to $100 or higher this year. So, what Corvette related gift have you received that was really great?
I'l likely use the best ideas for my list, so let me thanks in advance.

I got a Weathertech cargo may a few years ago for my coupe. Fits perfect and sure protects the hatch area from any stains or wear.

Well seeing that they both have fantastic jobs I say a C7 Z06. That's about 38K each, Not bad for all you have done for them. Just a tad more than 100. lol

Haha, funny ^^^
There's a few routs you can go. If there's something you need for the car but aren't willing to buy yourself, like a top of the line car cover, windshield sun shade, a trickle charger, maybe even a shop vac or heater.
Or there's apparel and accessories. Maybe a corvette clock, a coat, chairs/ stools for the shop. Tshirts and sweatshirts.
Another route is a maybe a trip to the corvette museum or someplace you've been wanting to go.

Metro Vac 110 volt or chip in some and get the Metro Master Blaster . They both work great . If your older the Blaster works great and saves you from a lot of bending down and saves a lot of time.

I once read a book written by a golf pro very into presentation, how he looked. He wrote to never wear clothes you have not picked out personally. I don't go that far, I will wear pretty much anything, and will buy clothes as presents, but would advise to go slow on gifts of Corvette branded clothes. Some feel the very concept is a punchline.
I am a magazine fan, they don't have to always be about cars.

How about one of these from the Corvette Museum Store. That way they can load the card with the $$$$ they want to spend. If you are like me I don't like to give my kids ideas on what I want because I don't know what their spending budget is. I got a gift card last year and got a nice neon clock for the shop. Just a thought.
