What do you get the car enthusiast who has everything? We’ve scoured the shops for perfect auto accessories that will make any driver smile wider than the front grille of a Cadillac. And the good news is, there’s not a pair of Jeremy Clarkson-esque stonewash jeans in sight…

Ice, ice… yeti

Perhaps the least festive job on a winter’s morning is scraping a layer of rock-hard ice off your windscreen. However, when your ice scraper is in the shape of a yeti’s hairy hands, you can keep warm and scare small children at the same time. Result!

Haute couture for your car

Sometimes, your car deserves a treat, too – and what better way to show it some affection than by adorning it with official branded merchandise? From Citroën to Volvo, Arnold Clark has the perfect fit for your trusty four-wheeled friend.

If you’re fed up of commuting in a Corsa (although there’s nothing wrong with that) then experience what it’s like to be one of life’s big cheeses in a Jaguar. The only stipulation is you have to bring it back when you’ve finished.

Ok, you might not have the car (yet), but you’ve got the t-shirt, and that’s what counts, right?

The air freshener of fun

For the princely sum of just £1, you can turn your car into an ice cream van with this high-quality Twister lolly air freshener. Now all you need is a Mr Whippy machine and some chimes.

In days of yore, dads would spend entire Saturdays under the bonnet of the family Vauxhall Cavalier, swearing at the Haynes manual. Why not let him relive those days with these cool retro jigsaws?

Henry pop-up car bin

If your car resembles a litter-strewn, post-apocalyptic hellscape, then Henry will be your saviour. Restore some order with this cheery bin based on the famous vacuum cleaner, which folds down flat and can hold a hefty 9 litres of junk.

For people who REALLY love Magic Trees

Wear your pine fragrance with pride! This enamel lapel pin might not smell of anything, but it shows everyone you’re serious about in-car freshness.

Greased Lightning
