10 Gifts to get Your Friend That Loves Road Trips
Let’s just start this off by saying that I do a lot of road trips. These are all things that I’ve found useful along the way as well as things that are just great to have in the car for emergencies. Here are some things that someone who road trips would love to have!
A Phone Mount For The Car
While some of you might be saying “cars have GPS and ApplePlay in them now, why would they need this?” Well, not all of us have fancy car radios! I love my CD slot phone mount because it makes my phone block less of my windshield. But, the ones that you can mount to the windshield or top of the dash are also great options.

We did a lot of traveling when I was growing up for wrestling tournaments. We traveled around the country and we used a car fridge that you could plug right into your car. It’s great to have for long road trips.
A Car Trash Can
I used to be guilty of shoving trash into the sides of my car when I was on road trips because I never remembered to grab a bag to use for my trash. This car trash can has been a game changer. This makes a great addition to any car!
