And what do you get? A trunk organizer! Ours is a practical beige color, measures 23” x 11-1/2” x 9-1/2” in polyester with a (3) large compartments, each with multiple slit pockets. Also comes with a separate, matching cooler, thoughtfully designed to hold a six-pack, with a heat-sealed lining to prevent leaks. Folds down to 10” x 10” x 5” thick. Get two and you could store one folded up inside the other. It's what Marie would do.

Our squishable silicone coffee cup looks like the takeaway cups you get at coffee shops, complete with the slide-up cuff that keeps your fingers from burning or freezing.

Made to strap onto the headrests in your car, this super-squishy pillow puts those airplane neck thingies to shame. Made of microfiber that’s irresistible to touch, it measures 10" wide x 6” tall and is approx 4” thick before you squish it with your head. Black back and neon orange front. Excellent for post-prandial naps after drive-through lunches.

This sleek stainless steel water bottle from Callaway Golf holds (25) oz, which should keep you hydrated until the turn, when you can switch to beer. No logo, thank you, and it measures 10-1/4” x 2-7/8” dia with a screw cap that has a hanging loop. Comes in a black velvet bag (with a logo), which you can use to hold tees. Pro shop price is $27.95. Our price is like a double eagle compared to that.

It’s like an electronic version of the red safety triangles you see on horse-drawn carriages, but this one is for auto emergencies. The Versa Beam© Emergency Floodlight measures 8” x 7” with (3) bright-white light settings for (5) hours at 300 lumens and up to a max 700 lumens for (3) hours. Has (36) flashing (extremely) red LEDs, a kickstand and a non-slip, padded rubber body. Weatherproof, because it would be dumb not to be.

The vent window is gone forever, which is why you can’t keep your entire windshield fog-free all the time. (Ask grampa.) So we recommend this low-power auxiliary windshield heater-defroster. Draws a scant 3A and measures 5-3/4" x 3-3/4" x 2" with a visor clip, a 4-foot cord and a little built-in fan. Don’t expect it to remove ice but it does the job in a pinch. Funnest part is proving to the policeman that it’s not an illegal radar detector.

Next time you hang an air freshener from your rear-view mirror, make it something your passengers will remember. These are all approx 4” to 5” long and bring a little something to the party that a paper pine tree can only dream of. You pick the creepy hairless cat in a Buddha pose, smelling of sandalwood; the bubblegum-scented rubber chicken; or the largest tardigrade (aka moss bear or water piglet) in the universe, redolent of green apples.

Pick up Norwegian Elkhound and you’ll have a pretty good idea what 50 lbs feels like, and you’ll know what you can check on most airlines. If you’ve misplaced your Elkhound (really? again?) your next best bet is to just get this digital luggage scale. Has a backlit 1-3/8" LCD display and will weigh up to 50kg/110 lbs. Includes auto-zero, auto shut-off, a tare function and an adjustable hanger, plus a tape measure so you can make sure you’re not exceeding carry-on size. The housing measures 4" x 2-1/4" x 1" and it comes with dead batteries so you’ll need a pair of “AAA”s.

We sound like your mother, don't we? Well, she was right, you should hang up your coat, even when you’re in your car. The Auto Coat Valet is a stainless steel hanger made so you can safely drape your jacket from it instead of putting it on the hook above the back door so it can block your vision or fall on the floor and be all wrinkled when you get wherever you're going. No installation, just squeeze the valet and let the brackets slip onto the post on the headrest. Will fit any headrest with bars of 1/2” dia or smaller and brackets may need a little encouragement to swivel at first. You’ll never arrive wrinkled or rumpled again.
