Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Choosing the Gifts and Basket
Step1
Select from the following items: premium quality auto wax; buffing products; treated dusting cloths; assortment of magazines on cars; books about classic, vintage or sports cars; videos about maintaining cars; a tire gauge; a car-theme T-shirt; a disposable camera to snap the freshly waxed car and its owner; and a frame for a photo of the car buff with the shiny car.
Step2
Pick a basket style that will allow the car buff to easily store auto-related items in it. Choose a dark basket that will allow any oil or grease to blend right in. Make certain the basket is large enough for the items you select.
Step3
Use shredded paper filling to make the gifts fit snugly in the basket.
Step4
Buy a humorous car-theme greeting card.
Packing the Basket
Step1
Wrap each present with a colorful gift wrap.
Step2
Put a layer of shredded paper filling on the bottom of the basket.
Step3
Place the wrapped gifts vertically or horizontally in the basket, as space allows, pushing the filling between gifts to ensure a very snug fit.
Step4
Place the basket in the center of a large piece of clear or tinted cellophane gift wrap. You may need two pieces of the wrap to completely cover a large basket.
Step5
Bring all sides of the wrap to a few inches above the top of the basket. Secure the wrap by tying it with a long, colorful ribbon.
Step6
Tape your greeting card onto the wrap.
