About us
Petrolhead Gifts started in the autumn of 2026 with a simple idea from a small team of German sports-car fans: make the gifts we always wanted to get ourselves.
Every December we saw the same calendars: chocolate, socks, generic toys. Nothing for the person who stops in the street to look at a 1980s sports saloon, knows the difference between the generations, and keeps a die-cast on his desk. So we designed one.
What we make
Today we make collector advent calendars for Mercedes and Porsche fans, and a heated puffer jacket built for winter car meets.
Our 2026 calendar is a printed collector's box with 24 numbered doors. Behind them are 10 die-cast model cars, including two larger hero cars waiting behind Door 1 and Door 24, and 14 acrylic car keychains with illustrated classics from the 1950s to the 2000s. We designed the box and chose every car and keychain ourselves, and we produce the calendar together with a specialist manufacturing partner.
How it started
We shared the first design on Instagram in October 2026, expecting a few likes. Tens of thousands of car fans watched it in the first week, and the first orders came in before we had even finished the box artwork. Since then we have been working every day to turn that design into the calendar you'll unwrap: choosing the cars, testing that they fit their doors, and getting everything ready to ship before December.
