Christmas Gifts for Men Who Love Cars, Motorcycles, Aircraft and Trains
Buying for someone with a favourite hobby sounds straightforward. Until you realise he already has the tools, knows exactly which model he wants and has strong opinions about anything you might choose.
A colouring book built around his interests offers a different starting point. It gives him familiar subjects to explore and something practical to do with a few pencils and a little spare time.
The Legends in Line Art collection brings together motorcycles, American muscle cars, World War II fighters and steam locomotives. Start with what he loves, then choose the book that fits.
For the motorcycle enthusiast
Does he stop to look at an old bike in a car park? Can a conversation about an engine turn into an afternoon?
Iconic Motorcycles Colouring Book gives him forty motorcycles to explore through colouring illustrations, histories and technical profiles. The companion website adds colour inspiration and reference material, so he can spend time with the machines that catch his interest.
It is a natural choice for someone who enjoys the details: the shape of a tank, the sweep of an exhaust or the character of a classic engine.
For the muscle car fan
Some people see an old car. Others see a particular bonnet line, a favourite generation or a colour they remember from years ago.
American Muscle Cars Colouring Book brings forty American muscle cars into a book he can make his own. He can follow a familiar colour scheme or try something he would never choose for a real car.
The companion guides offer a useful starting point for exploring paint colours, chrome and reflections.
For the aviation history enthusiast
If he enjoys aircraft museums, aviation books or identifying an aircraft from its silhouette, Fighters of World War II Colouring Book is a fitting place to start.
The book features forty fighters with illustrations, histories and technical profiles. Its companion website provides further inspiration for colour choices and details.
He can choose an aircraft that interests him and work through one part at a time. There is no need to complete a whole page in one sitting.
Explore Fighters of World War II.
For the steam locomotive enthusiast
Age of Steam: Steam Locomotives Colouring Book explores forty locomotives through their shapes, details and stories.
It suits someone drawn to engineering history, heritage railways or the sight of a steam engine at work. The companion galleries offer colour interpretations to help him get started.
Make it a gift he can start using
Pair the book with a modest set of coloured pencils and a sharpener. Add a note inviting him to choose the first page you can look at together.
He does not need an elaborate art kit. A comfortable place to sit and a subject he likes are enough to begin.
These are physical colouring books. Coloured examples on the companion website are inspiration for the reader's own work, rather than pre-coloured pages in the books.
Check the current Amazon price and delivery estimate for the recipient's location before ordering. Delivery times vary, so use the estimate shown for that order rather than assuming Christmas arrival.
