Need Gift Ideas - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Alright guys, I need some gift ideas for my godson. His 3rd birthday is March 2nd and I want to get him something Porsche related ( clothes, toys, etc ). To give you some background, his father was my fraternity little brother in college, and the two things he despises are Porsche’s and Harley’s ( he’s into muscle cars and crotch rockets ). Last year I bought his son a bunch of Harley clothes from the local dealer ( he and his wife loved it ) but since I am selling the Harley I wanted to get his son something Porsche related this year. Budget is $100 - $200. Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Nick

I don't know Nick....IMHO, since the kid is really young and probably wouldn't appreciate any of the gifts you thoughtfully give him... I would just buy him a cool toy for <$50 and then stick the rest in a savings or trust for when he can really appreciate (hopefully) the cash.

Let's see... (depending on how creative you are with money, it can even be more)

If you put away $150 X 18 yrs. (ie., for a trust)= $2700 + @ approx. 4% interest = approx. $2808.... hmmm, looks like a down payment for his own car or bike. :dance:

Costco was selling these metal car models which are about 10 inches long. Doors and trunks open. My two year loves his. He has a Cayman, a Boxster, a Cayenne, a CGT, and a turbo 997 conv. He actually sleeps with the Cayman. Great gift for a little boy.

Dude.... 2 words.... smashed into one word.... POWERWHEELS, you have to get him a POWERWHEELS, i seen some cool ones at toys r us awhile back, like aVW beetle which actually had a roof, then the standard corvettes and Bigfoot and Dune Buggy.

You could put some money in a fund for him. Then say the money in the fund is to buy his first Porsche. I also like the Hot Wheels idea.

Yo Nick,

I remember seeing this picture awhile back of a kid who had a Porsche Powerwheels that he crashed into a pole. It was pretty darn funny,the kid is grabbing his head like he crashed a real Porsche.

Maybe you can find that and blow it up if it's high enough quality.
