If you love spending time in your car, why not give your car (or yourself) a little Christmas present? If you can't bring yourself to purchase a gift for your car for the holidays, you could certainly include some wish list items for the car on your Christmas list. There are so many great gifts you could surprise another auto lover with, or someone who just happens to spend a lot of time in their car (commuting or otherwise). Check out some of these smart gift ideas for the car,,,

GPS

There are several brands of GPS devices available these days. Do a little research to find the one that's right for you, or will best suit your needs. GPS is a very useful tool, and can really come in handy for folks who do a lot of driving. It's even a great gift for young drivers, who might need a little help with directions when they're first starting out driving on their own. You may not be into a bunch of fancy technology, but it're certainly nice to have a clear display of a road map, time, and temperature right in front of you, no matter where you are.

DVD Players for the Car

Whether they are built-into the headrests of the front seats of the car, or you go the portable DVD player route, DVD players are awesome for the car if you have kids. Depending on how much you're willing to spend, you can have an entertainment system installed, and each back seat passenger can watch what they want to. They can control the volume and playing the DVDs right from where they're sitting, so you won't be distracted by noise, or otherwise. DVDs are also handy for parents with very small children, Popping in a DVD for a ride across town can work wonders!

Hands-fee Bluetooth System

Keeping safe in the car is top priority, so why not invest in a car that has a hands-free bluetooth system already installed? Not every car has this feature available, of course, but you can easily remedy that by using a simple hands-free Bluetooth headset, They are relatively inexpensive these days, and they make great Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers.

Car Mats

If you like to keep your car tidy, car mats are the perfect gift! All weather mats are a little pricey, but they're worth it if you want to keep your car's interior clean and protected. Mats will collect water from rain and snow, will catch mud, leaves, dirt and gravel, and any other debris that your shoes might collect and bring inside of your car. They can easily be hosed off to be cleaned on a regular basis.

USB Car Charger

Every car needs to be able to charge devices. We can't really get along without our beloved phones, tablets, and so on these days. You can really have some fun with charging your devices on the go, with different USB chargers. They now come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. You can even purchase themed chargers, featuring favorite heroes or characters. Star Wars chargers are a hugely popular choice, due to Rouge One hitting theaters this month.

Whatever you decide to get for you car (or someone else's), make it fun and useful! There are so many great options when it comes to auto accessories and gifts! Just keep the person your buying for in mind, and they're sure to love what you choose!
