Not everyone is a specialist when it comes to the art of gifting. The pressure really mounts when Raksha Bandhan is around the corner, and you have to think out of the box. Well, if you are too tired of gifting the same old rakhi gifts, it’s time to reinvent the wheel. We are talking about car accessories, the unsung heroes of long drives and road trips. If your sibling loves the vehicle he/she drives, then he/she certainly would want accessories that not only up the aesthetic quotient of the car but also have usability. Here are some car accessories gift ideas.
Great Car Accessories as Raksha Bandhan Gifts
People commute by cab almost every day and notice nothing special about it till one day, the car accessories catch their attention. That’s the power of any accessory that elevates the style, comfort, and safety of the car and its passengers. The following is a list of gift ideas you can consider this Rakhi —
- Heads-Up Display (HUD)
When travelling, we want a heads-up. Well, this personal assistant is here for just that. It is an extremely useful tool for drivers. It brings key pieces of information to a spot that's easier (and safer) to see compared to looking at it on another screen. The driver can easily look at speed, navigation, and other alerts directly onto the windshield and thus, his/her eyes will remain on the road Pick a size that complements the car your brother or sister drives.
- Car Perfume
How the car smells is the first thing someone notices when hopping into the car. Throughout the day, due to sweat or food particles that fall between seats, the odour can get from bad to worse. A car perfume removes such unpleasant odours. And do you know what else good fragrance does? It has a calming effect. When the driver feels relaxed, he/she drives better. Since you know your sibling well, choose a scent that matches his/her personality.
- Wireless Charger
The last thing a driver wants around the gears are tangled cords. Imagine looking at the map for navigation and suddenly realising the phone is about to die. The frustration goes up multiple times when the person struggles to find a port. A wireless charger can remove such issues. Your sibling just needs to place his/her smartphone on the charging pad and watch it come to life. The convenience it provides is amazing.
- Car Bin
Cleanliness is next to godliness. As kids, you must have heard your parents passing on this wisdom. Well, a clean car can add to the driver’s personality. Imagine your brother/sister is going to pick up his colleagues before a team outing, or your sister needs to give a lift to a guy she has a crush on, and they all find food particles and chocolate/chip wrappers strewn everywhere. A car bin can help in keeping the car organised and clutter-free.
- Microfiber Cloth
What compliments a car bin in the department of hygiene? It’s a microfiber cloth. Well, without delving too much into the power of fabric in removing dust and smudges on both interior and exterior surfaces, just know that this lint-free material is a must-have for car owners.
- TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
The driver, if experienced, notices when there might be something off with the tyres. He/she always doubts that there is an issue with the tyre pressure, and one would need to visit the nearest gas station to get it checked. In matters of road safety, a mistake of a split second can prove to be fatal. A TPMS can ensure the driver that the tyres are always at optimal pressure. Gift them the TPMS to monitor tyre pressure and prevent flat tyres.
- WD-40
Rust prevention, protection of metal parts, removal of corrosion and moisture… you name it, and WD-40 will do it. This reliable tool has multiple usages.
- Dashcam
Road rage is a huge issue in India, and a minor accident can lead to fist fights because either party refuses to accept their mistake. But once you have recorded footage, there is no denying it. Today, it also helps the police find the culprits in case they run away. Apart from providing valuable evidence in case of incidents, you can also capture other moments of your journey on the dashcam.
- Windshield Cleaner Spray
When you have clear vision, you can go faster. No, it’s not a nugget from a corporate mantra for success. It’s just a fact of driving, and a windshield cleaner spray can help with that It easily removes bugs and dirt and provides a clear view of the road at all times.
- Car Seat Cover
Want to protect the car's upholstery as well as add a touch of style? Car seat covers are the answer. Available in various materials, colours, and designs, gift something to your sibling that suits his/her taste.
