Car Gifts Under $50

Budget friendly without looking budget

Price is not what makes a gift feel cheap. Generic does. A badge with their name, their nickname or their build name on it cannot be generic, because it did not exist before you ordered it. That is why a $28.99 to $48.99 badge outperforms plenty of gifts that cost twice as much.

The construction backs it up. Every badge is produced with dimensional depth and a premium finished face in your choice of metal badge colors like mirror chrome, matte black or gold, or acrylic badge colors matched to popular vinyl wrap shades. Once it is mounted on a fender, trunk or tailgate, most people assume it came from the factory or a specialty shop.

What you get at each price point

• From $28.99. A standard size custom badge with your text and a premium metal finish. This is the sweet spot for a stocking stuffer, coworker gift or add-on present.
• Around $30 to $40. Step up the badge height for a larger, more visible piece, or move to a specialty finish such as a colored acrylic finish.
• Just under $50. A larger badge plus the gift box option, which turns it into a proper unboxing moment instead of a padded envelope.

Easy for them, easy for you

Designing takes about a minute in the builder: type the text, pick a finish and size, preview it, order it. Installing takes about 90 seconds thanks to the automotive grade 3M adhesive already on the back of the badge, with no drilling and no tools required. If they lease, the 3M Automotive Adhesive still removes cleanly with heat and adhesive remover before turn in.

Every badge is made to order, so allow 3-5 business days for production plus shipping transit time, and aim to order roughly two weeks before the gift date. We ship worldwide for a flat $8.99 per order, no matter how many badges you add.
