Conclusion

Learning what made Paul light up taught me this: The best gifts aren’t always the most expensive or obvious. Sometimes it’s a £25 monthly Corgi subscription. Sometimes it’s a heritage certificate that deepens their connection to their classic. It’s about understanding their passion, not just “car people” in general.
