The holidays are upon us. That means decorations, traditions, and, of course, presents. But it doesn’t mean you have to opt for another lame stocking stuffer. Instead, you can give one of these helpful holiday car gifts to make driving easier for someone you love. 

Your all-time favorite motorist can benefit from any of these holiday car gifts

If you’re anything like me, you’ve put off the bulk of your holiday shopping. Don’t fret, though. You can still snag winning holiday car gifts for the drivers in your life. 

• Dash cam
• Weather-proof mats
• Handheld vacuum 
• Jumper cables
• Emergency kit

One of the best things any motorist can arm themselves with is a dash cam. It’s not just a helpful reference, it can make a difference in insurance decisions and criminal cases. Better yet, some models are available for under $100. Not bad for some peace of mind.

Preserving the factory mats in a car can be impossible with the rigors of daily life. However, a set of weather-proof floor mats can replace your removable mats and protect the carpeting beneath.

A clean car is a pleasant place to be. Fortunately, a vehicle owner can fight the onslaught of pet hair, dirt, dust, and crumbs with a handheld vacuum. And if you want to give the gift of a clean car for the holidays, you don’t have to spend much more than $22. 

Every motorist should know how to change a tire. After all, the average American driver will get multiple flat tires in their lifetime. Similarly, most drivers will have to deal with a flat battery at some point. Consequently, a set of jumper cables is a great gift idea for your favorite motorist. Fortunately, many sets cost less than $20. 

Sure, it might seem lame for now. But giving your loved one an emergency kit for the holidays is always a good idea. Even with holiday cheer to spare, accidents happen. Flat tires, bad weather, and even an empty gas tank can quickly derail the festivities. However, a kit with bare essentials like a space blanket, flashlight, and first aid supplies can save the day.
