Just got a new car and silly me, let FI clean out the other car. He just tossed everything into the garbage. So it got me thinking of the things I feel I absolutely need in my car versus stuff I just accumulated in it.
Just curious, anyone else have must haves for their cars?
My absolute bare bones must haves are:
- Lint roller
- Hand Sanitzer/antibacterial wipes
- Tissues/Napkins something of the sort
- Sun glasses
- Emergency Gluten Free non-perishable snacks
- Car charger

Oh my, I am a huge car hoarder which is a problem as I have a tiny 3 door car!
- Phone Charger
- GPS
- Jumper or two
- Lighter
- Jumper leads (I’m paranoid of flat batteries haha)
- High heeled boots (they are my just in case I have a suprise meeting shoes)
- Non-perishable food like cans of tuna and muesli bars
- Mirror
- emergency makeup bag
- Tissues
- I think I have a roll of toilet paper coz FI borrows my car sometimes and only has portaloos at work lol. So that’s a necessity for him.

SparkleBee11: Haha, is that in addition to rope and a knife etc?
I don’t even have a centre consol so everything is crammed in my tiny glovebox or my doors or my boot haha. It looks so messy but I neeeed everything!

I just bought a new car and I “downsized” my stuff. I went from a 2 door civic to an SUV so I do have considerably more room.
iPod touch (to play through radio)
2 iPhone charging cables hooked to charger
wet ones antibacterial wipes
travel lint roller
tiny first aid kit
tissues
sunglasses
