This SiriusXM Onyx vehicle kit comes with 3 months of free satellite and streaming time.

8. Car Organizer

The perfect organizer to hold all your family gear in on place. It’s so much better than having everything roll around the darn car.

9. Universal Car Windshield Dashboard Suction Cup for Your Cellphone

If you spend a lot of time in your car, you want to need somewhere to safely mount your phone. This suction cup mount is easy peasy to install, so you can listen to all your fave tunes while stuck in traffic.

10. Stain Remover

These Tide To Go sticks work wonders of you dribble coffee or some smoothie on yourself. Plus, they are tiny and will fit anywhere.

Maybe you log a lot of hours, or know someone who does, it’s always nice to be as comfortable as possible while driving and have peace of mind knowing you (or they) have everything they need.
