From inexpensive apparel to top-notch riding gear, there are a lot of choices out there
Valentine’s day is upon us and it’s only fair to celebrate your ‘valentine’ with gifts. Confused about what to get them this year? Well, if your spouse is a motorcyclist, here’s a curated list of top five things you can gift them, that will surely make them grin from ear to ear.
Helmet
Want to make your motorcyclist valentine happy with a gift? Here are five items you can give them
One of THE most crucial things for a motorcyclist is a helmet. After all, it’s the only thing protecting their heads from everything around them. And lucky for you, helmets make an epic gift. Oh, and a helmet as a gift is also a great way to tell your significant other that you like their head (not that it needs to be said, though).
Before buying, you must know that a good helmet should have proper safety ratings (ECE, DOT, Sharp, and more), must be a snug fit to ensure proper crash protection, and should be from a trusted brand.
A helmet is one of THE most crucial things for a rider. And it makes a great gift too
Luckily, nowadays, meeting this criterion doesn’t mean splurging money as many Indian and international brands offer good helmets between the range of Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000. Bonus points to you if you know your spouse’ favourite lid (or graphic) and can arrange that.
Riding Gear
You can also gift them riding gears, showing that you care about their well-being
Like helmets, riding gears also make amazing gifts and are a great way to show that you care about your partner.
Riding gears mainly comprise a riding jacket, riding pants, gloves, and boots. If your spouse has been a biker for a while, though, we’re pretty sure they already have a basic riding jacket and gloves, as these are one of the first buys. However, less attention is paid to riding pants and boots, even though the lower body is one of the most vulnerable things during a fall. So we’d recommend you gift your spouse riding pants or riding boots if they don’t already have them.
And if they already have riding gears, just replace an old one with a new, more protective piece
And if your spouse already has all the aforementioned bits, just do some homework and get them a replacement with better protection and features for any of their old riding gear. Most of these things fall in the same price range as a helmet. The only exception is riding boots, which can cost upwards of Rs 10,000 if opting for a good full-sized boot.
Action Camera
If budget isn’t an issue, an action camera is a great gift. After all, it’ll let your S/O record their rides and show them to you
Action cameras and vlogging is all the riot these days. And if you’ve seen your spouse considering recording their rides, an action camera could be a perfect gift. Not to forget, an action camera is also a great way to keep a record of a mishap and can deem super useful tracking down vehicles.
So how much does a decent action camera cost? Well, anywhere between Rs 8,000 to upwards of Rs 45,000. Indian and Chinese brands are usually the most affordable ones while big companies like GoPro cost quite a lot. Plus, you’d also need some action camera mounts. Or you can just tell your partner to get them on their own.
Bike Care Package
Bike care kits also make great gifts. These are mostly inexpensive and include cleaning kits, chain lube, and a tool kit
If you have a small budget for your V-day gift, you can prepare a bike care package for your spouse.
A bike care package usually comprises a chain lube, a washing kit, WD-40, a micro-fibre cloth, and a good tool kit. Of course, this isn’t a fixed list and you can add/subtract a few things if your partner already has them. You can also throw in a bike cover if your budget allows.
All these combined should cost around Rs 2,500 to Rs 3,000 depending on the brands you opt for. Meanwhile if you don’t want to go the ‘a-la-carte’ way, many companies offer packages of their own with most aforementioned bits.
Apparels & Stickers
Speaking of inexpensive gifts, you can also eye biking apparel like printed t-shirts, bandanas, and caps
Bikers love matching apparels that tell the world about their biking ideologies. And this is why these make great gifts.
There’s a huge variety of biking t-shirts, bandanas, caps, and stickers on many Indian websites like 100KMPH. All you have to do is pick the designs and order em’ to your or their house.
Or if they follow a racer, get them official apparel of that athlete. Want to know the budget of all these bits? Swipe up to find out.
Also, this gets even easier if your significant other is a motorcycle racing fanatic and looks up to a certain racer. In that case, you can just get them any apparel based on their favourite racer and it’ll surely make them super happy.
This is arguably the most affordable gift on this list and costs anywhere between Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000, depending on which of these you opt for.
