Whether or not they realize it just yet, everybody could use something off of our holiday wish list. Don’t believe us?

1. ResQMe Keychain Lifehammer : $9.95

This little gizmo is a great addition to any vehicle. Designed to help aide driver and occupants in the event of vehicle entrapment, the keychain version of the Lifehammer uses a shielded stainless steel blade to cut through seat belts and a spring-loaded spike to smash window glass. The great part is it’s small enough to fit on your keychain, meaning you don’t have some bulky rescue device banging around inside your glove box where you can’t reach it in an emergency. Amazon sells the ResQMe Keychain Lifehammer in pairs, making them a stocking stuffer that could end up saving someone’s life.

2. Rechargeable Ice Scraper : $17.14

Is there anything worse than tackling built-up snow and ice on your windshield? You end up idling your car longer than necessary, burning gas and making yourself late for work. That’s exactly why this guy is a winner. Keep it in your glove box and recharge it through any 12-volt outlet in your car (like your cigarette lighter). What’s more, unlike other scrapers, this one’s cordless, meaning you don’t have to worry about a wire running into your car or away from your house. When you need it, just flip it on and the scraper demolishes all the frozen stuff on your windshield – perfect for those members of the family in the great white north.

3. Bad Air Sponge : $14.95 (or two for $19.95)

Everyone knows somebody with a funky car. Not like cool, Huggy Bear funky. More like something-died-in-here funky. It’s not always their fault, but it does severely limit your carpool options. For those with a particularly stinky ride, there’s the Bad Air Sponge. Unlike air fresheners, which only mask (or add to) the smell, the Bad Air Sponge actually traps particles causing the stench in the first place. It’s easy to use, too. Just remove the lid and sit the jar in an empty cup holder. The BAS does the rest. It’s also great for smokers’ vehicles.
