We really like that the LEGO Porsche has an engine with moving pistons, as well as functioning steering. Available on Amazon.ca.

Designed in collaboration with professional rescuers, the pocket knife has a seatbelt cutter and a window breaker, which can literally save a life in case of an unfortunate car accident.

What could be a better gift to a car lover, than a weekend experience with one of their most coveted dream cars? Gifting them the actual car would ideal, but in today’s reality, Turo is burden free.

Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, BMW, Tesla, G Wagon, you name it.
**But realistically we have seen some listed for as low as $75 CAD per day. No surprise fees, deposits, or insurance. It’s all included (but just be weary of third-parties using the platform to list their vehicles. Look for independent owner’s listing instead. And ALWAYS, read the reviews.
