1. A digital tire inflator complete with an LED light that'll save you a AAA call when you just need to put a little air in your tire. Just plug it into your car outlet, set the PSI, turn it on, and off you go to your next destination. 🚗💨
2. A roll of black all-weather duct tape to keep in your glove compartment because you never know when a piece of your car will fall apart.
3. A universal smartphone holder compatible with most smartphones, that'll allow you to be hands-free while driving. Now you can set "Drivers License" on repeat, safely.
4. Or a cup holder phone mount that you don't have to clip on anything. Instead, just stick it into your cup holder and your phone will stick out like a ready-to-pick flower.
5. A durable, three-pocket folding car trunk organizer ideal for vehicles with a tailgate that doesn't offer the same storage support as a traditional trunk. It's compatible with most vehicles.
6. A heated ice scraper you can plug into your cigarette lighter to help you save time in the morning getting the ice off of your windshield.
7. A teeny-tiny trash can, because it's pretty much the cutest thing ever. It can sit in your cupholder and hold all your little gum wrappers and empty ketchup packets.
8. Or a car trash can to at least attempt to keep a clean and tidy car. You never know when you'll need a trash can. Imagine a spider descending in front of your face while you're driving. You grab a napkin to catch it and there's nowhere to put it! Yes, these are the things I think of daily.
9. A two-sided wheel desk that'll let you dine from the comfort of your car. Or, it can serve as a desk when you haven't quite finished that term paper and just need a few more sentences to hit that word count. Did I mention it comes with a cup holder? 😏
10. A front seat organizer perfect for commuters so you can keep your snacks, water, and other documents at arm's length.
11. A car diagnostic scanner so you can get a sneak peak into what's going on with your car before paying hundreds of dollars at a mechanic shop.

13. A set of seat gap fillers (as seen on Shark Tank) for the car eater who's always dropping crumbs between the seats.
14. An adorably tiny hanging diffuser to jazz up the inside of your car with dainty decor that can also cover up the smell of that one random fry you haven't been able to find but the odor lets you know it's always there.
15. A pair of pet hair-removing brushes that'll leave you shocked by the amount of hair they pull from your seat or seat cover.
16. A console side pocket ingeniously designed as a catchall with a coin slot giving you a place to put your change that isn't a cupholder. You can remove the compartment when the change pouch gets full.
17. An all-purpose car cleaner formulated to remove dirt and grime from upholstery, fabric, canvas, leather, vinyl, plastic, rubber, wood trim, metals, and more.
18. A set of resin car coasters for added interior decor that'll also help you see where your cup holders are so you don't accidentally drop your spicy McDonald's Sprite on the floor.
19. A case of 64 purified emergency water pouches with a shelf life of five years that you can keep in your car in case of an emergency when there's no other water source around.
20. A car windshield sunshade in case winter isn't exactly cold where you live. This sunshade will keep those warm temperatures at bay.
21. A Bigfoot air freshener that, thankfully, does not actually smell like Bigfoot but does pack a punchy pine scent.
22. A transparent window case holder for your insurance card, registration, and other vehicle documents. Plus, if you're one of those car enthusiasts who has a theme for their ride, you'll be delighted to know that you can choose from more than 150 fabrics to get the pouch that truly matches your driving spirit.
23. A water-resistant LED flashlight because you never know when you might have to pull over on a dark and stormy night to figure out what's going on with your engine. It'll also make it easier to wave down help or light your way to drift into the woods and use the restroom on long road trips.
24. A keychain car escape tool complete with a seatbelt cutter and car window breaker that is an essential to add to the preparedness kit.
25. A dog car harness that can also be used as a no-pull walking harness. It comes with five adjustment points to give a custom fit for most dogs.
26. A windshield cleaning tool in case that squeegee at the local gas station just isn't cutting it. Instead of using gazillion paper towels to make your windows gleam, you get to use these nifty washable cloth pads.
27. A super large, super warm, super durable military wool blanket that can withstand harsh weather and keep you warm even if you're wet. Life is unpredictable and having an all-purpose blanket in the trunk will help you drive more easily.
28. A can of Fix-A-Flat tire inflator to use in a pinch when you're almost to your destination and you run over a nail. All hope is not lost my friend. This flat tire inflator can fill your tire and seal up to a 1/4-inch puncture. 💪🏽 It's a temporary fix, but hopefully it gives you time to get to a safer location to deal with your tire.
29. A car jump starter for when you accidentally leave your lights on before heading into the function. It's okay, everyone gets forgetful sometimes.

33. A digital tire pressure gauge so you can quickly assess whether you should add some air to your tire or if it's good-to-go. It has a lighted nozzle for visibility and is small enough to sit in your glovebox.
34. A four-pack of car headrest hooks you can use on the front or back of your seat, to hold your grocery bag, purse or backpack, coat, and more.
35. An impact and water-resistant dynamo crank radio to not only charge your phone but also help you stay informed when there aren't televisions or computers around.
36. A tiny emergency kit for your glovebox that carries the important things including common, underrated items like a hair tie, safety pin, breath mints, and a makeup wipe.
37. Or a 100-piece first aid kit to act as Dr. Miranda Bailey and take care of any scrapes, cuts, and bruises you or your passengers may get. It's no substitute for a hospital, but if your wound or ailment only needs bandages, butterfly closures, gauze pads, ointments, examination gloves, or an instant cold compress — this kit has you covered.
38. A reusable, quick-drying waterproof rain poncho that's obviously useful if you have to pull over in the rain but is equally as useful if you forgot your jacket before leaving the house.
39. A tissue holder to hang on your car visor for unplanned runny noses or that sip of cold brew coffee that always seems to miss your mouth.

45. A 16-count variety pack of Cliff energy bars because you should always have a snack for added energy throughout the day. I mean, we've all had those days where we forget our wallet, or we have the wallet but the next stop isn't for another 70 miles. They also have a long shelf life, making them great for keeping in your emergency stash kit.
46. A jar of cleaning gel for those nooks and crannies in your car that never seem to get clean. The best part is that you can reuse it over and over.
47. A portable car vacuum cleaner that can plug into your car outlet for super tidy drivers who must leave their car spick and span after each drive. It's also great for your little one who continues to spill Cheerios all over the backseat.
