With Christmas now less than a month away, AOL Cars have scoured the internet to find five stocking fillers for the impossible-to-buy-for petrolhead in your life.

Jerry Can Hip Flask - £9.99
Available from grandprixlegends.com
For a penny under a tenner, you could get them this Jerry Can shaped hip flask. Apart from being one of the coolest things we've seen, it's the perfect place to store some of their favourite drinks, ready at a moment's notice for a spot of liquid courage or just a swig of something to warm the insides.
Spanner shaped bottle opener - £14.99

Chocolate road signs - £10

We've all seen chocolate coins (and no doubt scoffed the odd few over the years) so why not shake things up this year and get road sign versions instead. Presented in a nifty little pot (which could be used to store nuts and bolts in the garage afterwards), this is definitely the tastiest present on our list. That is until someone fills up the Jerry Can...
Spy key fob camera - £19.99
Available from iwantoneofthose.com
James Bond move over, this is one gadget every petrolhead will love. It looks like a simple alarm fob but it's actually a camera, capable of taking and storing video and photos instantly. Not only is this ideal for snapping the rare instances you see a supercar out and about, but it could prove invaluable should you ever need to photo a traffic collision.
