Porsche Related Gifts for Women
Everyone’s Mom is different. However, if they are Porsche fans, chances are they’ll like something on our list. If you’re in the mood to find a Porsche related gift, we’ve cobbled together a list of items that should work for every budget and every mom in the group.
- Porsche Books: We’ve reviewed a lot of Porsche books over the past few years and continue to do so (we’re currently reading Closing Speed and The Lost Spyder and will have reviews on both shortly). If you’re mom is a huge Porsche fan, then any one of these Porsche books might be of interest to her. At present, the best-selling non-technical Porsche related books on this site are: The Art of Racing in the Rain and Hunt for 901
- Porsche Magazines: Chances are you already get one or two of these Porsche Magazines at your house. However, if you don’t they make a great gift for your Porsche loving mom (that you get to enjoy too). Excellence: The Magazine About Porsche is far and away the best selling magazine on our site. Additionally, now that Christophorus is down to a more reasonable price it makes a great supplement to any Porsche library.
- Porsche Club Membership: No matter where you are in the world, joining your your local Porsche Club is very rewarding. As a member of the Porsche Club of America, I look forward to my monthly issue of Panorama Magazine and John and I use the various social functions to meet new people during our frequent travels. Besides the PCA (by far the largest club in the world), there is the Porsche Owners Club, The Porsche Club Great Britain and many others. If mom isn’t yet a member of one of these great organizations, be sure to get her a membership!
- Porsche Design Driver’s Selection: Besides the great handbags that PDDS is offering to two of our lucky moms, they offer a range of other items, from clothing to accessories that are perfect for the Porsche loving lady in your life.
- Funky Slip-on shoes: At Zazzle, you, or our mom, can create any type of product you can imagine and then custom order/print it in quantities as low as one (1). However, if you don’t want to do any work, a number of people have already created Porsche related products for you. Two of the coolest ones for your mom are the Le Mans Mini Slip-On Shoes and the Fuch Wheel Lace-up Shoe.
- Flying Lizard Race Gear: Is your mom a Porsche Motorsport fan? If so, Flying Lizard has a ton of gear made just for mom. My favorite (and one I wear around quite a bit) is the Women’s Charcoal Hoodie. Not only is this really comfortable, but it fits great and is perfect on a cool spring night or when the sun goes down at the track.
- Porsche Kitchen Knives: Chroma sent us a set of these Porsche Designed knives a little over two years ago and ever since, I’ve been hooked. Feel free to read my review or simply look at the large selection of Chroma Type 301 Knives Designed by Porsche you can find on Amazon.com.
- High Performance Driving School: Porsche Sports Driving School offers a course designed specifically for women. What better way for mom to get to know the limits of her Porsche and her driving skills then on a trip that includes both Porsche driving instruction and spa reservations.
Happy shopping and don’t forget to comment below letting us know why you or your mom deserve to win one of the two handbags from Porsche Design Driver’s Selection. If you’re on Facebook be sure to check out the FlatSixes.com page and give this post a “like”.

My mom very much deserves this bag. When she should be preparing to relax into retirement she is working 6 days a week trying to salvage the family business that she has run for 25 years. The economy has really hit hard and she no longer has free time or extra cash to splurge on herself. She is a very generous person and deserves a nice surprise. With her being a Porsche and purse fan, this would be absolutely perfect!
I think all moms deserve one, each for a million reasons.....
As for my mom, she would appreciate the discreet elegance, quality of materials and craftsmanship as well as the useful carrying capacity for all her things
The fact that I thought about her to write this, is what she would appreciate the most
My mom is wonderful and gives her heart...more than once I have seen her give something to someone else who needs it more even if she likes an item. She is selfless and loving and her heart is open to all and many times gets the bad end but she says life goes on
My mom. Well, she is now in asstd living....since November. Prior to that she was the caretaker for the last seven years of the most cherished non-human member of the family. Each winter, the 89 911 was stored in her garage for the winter, as my wife and I only have a two car garage. Mom would watch me carefully winterize the car, inflate the tires and cover it for hybernation. During weekend visits to both, I would often find the cover slighty moved or not exactly on the car right. No doubt she was taking it off and inspecting the 'machine' to make sure it was ok. She just turned 90, and this would be a great way to pay her back for the extra care and concern for a family member.
When my Mother, Juanita, rides in our Seal Gray Cayman S....she refers to it as a "Wild Toad Ride"...!!! She surely couldn't be referring to the quality of the driving...could she?!?!
The bag would also match the Cocoa leather interior so it would always be her CarBag.
My Mom should win because she is Cool and so is the handbag...a Perfect Match!
My Mom, at 81 one years young, one time told me that she always wanted to own a Porsche. The years since that time have not been as kind financial. She would rather give her grandchildren a new toy or pair of pants or help her own children pay a bill than ever consider such an extravagant automobile. To be able to present her with a gift such as the Porsche purse would be absolutely fantastic. That and pulling up in my Porsche to present it to her. Maybe not the original dream she long ago wished for, but I can tell you it would be a very special moment to be driven in the Porsche with her new purse of the same name.
My mom deserves the Porsche handbag as she learned to drive and passed the written and driving exam on the first try at the young age of seventy four. The Porsche handbag would furnish the perfect accessory to move up and into the seat of my 1987 911 after mastering the 5 speed.
After much family pressure not to, our 88 year old Mom bought a 2010 Candy-Apple Red Mustang convertible to drive her friends to their bridge club meetings. All of her children drive Porsches and it was with heavy hearts that we first saw her drive up with top down and big smiles on her and her passengers. We've finally come to accept her new ride, but think the ultimate Ponycar-insult would be a beautiful Porsche designed handbag sitting next to her on the front seat!
My wife agreed to allow me to purchase a used 2004 Carrera a few yrs ago.
The upkeep is so expensive I can not afford to buy her anything now, give her the hand bag and ease my pain.
