Need gift ideas for a friend who let us borrow their car gratis for 2 months.

Asked by urban_mermaid (17points) September 22nd, 2009

My boyfriend was in a car accident a few months ago and some friends of his gave him their car to use while waiting for the insurance monies to come in and while he recovered from surgery. What are some good gift suggestions – they won’t take any payment for these two months of free car use. Interested in thoughtful thank you ideas.

Wow. What great friends!

Do you have anything like a boat or vacation home you could let them use for a long weekend?

How about a year’s worth of coupons for one of those fancy car wash/detailing places?

A hardcore cleaning and detailing of the car. You can probably get a gift certificate at a local place.

Return the car fully cleaned and detailed and with a full tank of gas. Set up a date to take them out to eat at a very nice restaurant.

Fuzzy dice and a bobble head.

Maybe a paid membership to AAA, if they are Americans and not already members? (Note: I have no idea how much this would cost.)

Insurance money not monies

Someone lends me a car, I return it with a full tank of gas. Someone lends me a car for two months, I think I’d change the oil, too.

That’s extremely generous! I second the AAA membership and a series of like, 5 washes at the local car wash place. Definitely give them the gift over dinner.
