    Because your car deserves them.

    1. A Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier designed to fit perfectly into your cup holder, plus it can work cord-free for up to 10 hours. It has two settings and a convenient little ambient light.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "This product works really great!! I’ve had it for a while now and use it almost every day. The charge holds the expected amount of time and comes with the first set of cotton core replacements. The mist levels are nice and don’t overly saturate so I am not nervous having it in the car near the leather. I also can not hear it running at all which is nice. For the charging cord, you do need to already have a cube, but that was the only downside." —Blake L Spencer

    Price: $27.99 (available in two colors)

    2. And while you're at it, try an econoLED Car Humidifier and Mini Air Purifier designed to plug into your car and help the air smell great — plus it rotates so it can fit whatever your car's needs are.

    @lollyjaneblog / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "I am in LOVE with this! If you are looking for an oil diffuser for your car — just stop and order this one. It arrived so quickly, is bigger than I expected (this is a good thing), suuuuper easy to set up and use, and works perfectly! I love the two settings. I use the second one that sprays intermittent for aromatherapy. The stream is strong on both settings and with 49 ml of water and half a ml of fragrance oil, the smell is perfect." —Megan

    Price: $14.99 (available in three colors)

    3. A pack of EldHus Headrest Hooks perfect for holding your purse and jacket while you drive — but they're also equally perfect at holding a cellphone or tablet so whoever is in the backseat can enjoy some screen time while you drive (or while you're being driven and that person can be you).

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "I love these car hooks. I'm always lugging around a heavy purse and craft supplies. If I have to slam on the brakes, they go flying off the front seat. Not anymore! They also don't get in the way of people sitting in the passenger seat. They hang on the headrest posts. You can turn them around or just leave as is for passengers." —YoYo's Mum

    Price: $5.99+ (for a pack of four, available in two finishes)

    4. Or go with a set of super durable leather and stainless headrest hangers that'll blend right in with your fancy car.

    @lollyjaneblog / Via tiktok.com, amzn.to

    Promising review: "These hooks fit perfectly. The leather matched my vehicle just like they came with it. Easy to install, keeps my laptop bag and purse off the floor or sliding off the seat when stopping or turning while driving." —TigerLily

    Price: $12.68+ (available in three colors)

    5. A jar of TICARVE Dust Cleaning Gel perfect for getting deep into every dusty, crumby crevice in your car and leaving it totally spotless.

    @lollyjaneblog / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "When I first saw this product I thought 'No way is that really going to work' but for the price, it was worth a try. I got it within two days of purchasing it — and it truly works. I immediately used it on my laptop keyboard and my PC keyboard. It really did pull all of the dust and whatnot out from in between the keys. It feels damp to your skin and doesn't really leave a residue, the smell is not harsh and is really barely there (not like an antiseptic or harsh chemical at all). I really like it." —BRickard

    Price: $7.99

    6. And while you're at it, try cleaning up with a LOFTEK Handheld Cordless Car Vacuum — yes! You heard that right, cordless! It can be used for up to 30 minutes without having to be plugged in and a full charge takes just about four hours.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    It also comes with three different types of tools and two adapters, including a dust brush tool for carpets and pet hair, a crevice nozzle tool for narrow gaps and corners, and a soft long tube for hard-to-reach areas. There are also two replaceable HEPA filters, which can be washed and dried.

    Promising review: "I really like this cordless vacuum a lot. For starters, it has surprisingly strong suction power for its size. Included are five separate attachments for attacking any potential vacuuming scenario that may occur, from pet hair to spilled drinks, and anything else in between. It serves as both a wet and dry vacuum, so you're covered for both liquid and solid cleanup. The filter can be easily removed and washed, and even includes a second filter. I primarily use mine to keep my car's interior clean, but it gets plenty of use around the house as well. Definitely recommended!" —Jay W

    Price: $28.99

    7. Or try a GALSOAR Portable Lightweight Car Vac which plugs right into your car's cigarette lighter and has a 15-foot cord.

    @lollyjaneblog / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    This bad boy also comes equipped with a high-performance copper motor and aluminum alloy fans which basically give you a super-powerful suction so you can get every last thing — including liquids. It also has three different types of attachments — a crevice nozzle for narrow gaps, a brush tool for carpet, and a soft tube for deep places. There is also a high-density HEPA filter which is detachable and washable.

    Promising review: "This vacuum was great for my car as the cord was a good length to reach from the front of the car to the back of the car. The suction was strong enough to collect the debris in the car and very simple to use." —George

    Price: $25.99

    8. A straight genius Saucemoto Dip Clip that easily attaches to your car's air vent — making it perfect for all the dinner parties you plan on hosting at your new favorite restaurant.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, amzn.to

    There's also a very handy french fry holder you might want to consider.

    Promising review: ""I love these!!! The part that grips on to your vent, is actually a very tough cushion that keep the weight of the Saucemote with ketchup container, from sliding down. I usually now keep one in my Jeep and a second in my purse for use when I’m in someone else’s car!" —Gillian

    Price: $10.05 (for a set of two, available in two colors)

    9. A reliable Mikikin Fast-Charging Car Phone Holder to both hold and charge your phone without the need of any cords. It also has an automatic clamp that'll hold your phone snugly so you don't ever have to worry about it falling.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    It clips onto your air vent and works with iPhone X/XR/Xs/Xs Max/8/8 Plus, Samsung S6/S7/S8/S9 Edge+, Note 7/Note 8, and many other brands.

    Promising review: "It surprised me when I put it in my car — it automatically opens and closes to hold my phone. That's super cool! I was just looking for a phone holder but this is even better — at the same time, I can charge my phone. Very good and very sturdy, highly recommend." —mike

    Price: $25.99

    10. A RUICheng Multifunctional Car Storage Box designed to fit into the crevice that normally eats all your fries. It also has openings to neatly fit all your cords while it holds your phone, beverage, whatever!

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "This product is awesome! It is perfect to put in my car, the size is suitable, and you can fit some small objects. Great product for anyone needing extra space. It has a drink holder and an opening for your phone charger. If you have a lot of items you keep in your front seat, you know it's difficult to find ways to organize that stuff so that you can find them as quickly as you need them. This sits just inside of the passenger seat (for me), between the center console and the inner edge of the seat." —MONA O.

    Price: $10.99

    11. A straight-up beautiful BlingSting First AID KIT Rose Gold Clutch filled with the things you might need in the event of an emergency.

    Amazon, @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com

    The kit includes a rose gold gemstone hard case that easily fits in your glove compartment, a roll of gauze tape and five gauze pads, two butterfly bandages, five finger bandages, five knuckle bandages, 10 fabric bandages, 18 cotton swabs, 10 safety pins, six alcohol pads, six sting relief pads, and six antiseptic cleansing wipes.

    Promising review: "So cute! Purchased this as a gift for a sweet friend of mine and she LOVED it! Its packaging is adorable and it was perfect for my 'germ-a-phobe' friend! 😂 She’s CONSTANTLY putting a bandaid on a boo-boo or freaking out over her kids getting sick. She loves this and it travels in her car everywhere she goes. Oh, did I mention it’s CUTE?!?" —Callie

    Price: $19.99

    12. A 2-gallon BOLTLINK Hanging Car Trash Can designed with a liftable lid and to be totally leakproof — go ahead, spill an entire drink in there! It's not going anywhere.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "Before I purchased this car trash can, my car always looks so messy. I'd find empty water bottles, tissues, food wrappers...on the floor. My husband didn’t understand why I spent money just to buy a car trash can when a plastic bag works the same. But this keeps my car clean and doesn't occupy too much space. It easily folds up when we don’t need it. My favorite part is that it's 100% leak proof. We went to the beach last Sunday, I used this car trash can as a cooler bag, I put ice and drinks in there. One hour driving, not one drop of water came out." —Tiffany L

    Price: $11.59

    13. A very handy safety hammer emergency escape tool that'll help you break glass, cut off your seat belt, and fits super easily on your car's visor for super easy access.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "I'm very pleased with the quality — so please, it makes me want to try it out, but I don't want to have to replace a car or house window. I purchased this after seeing a survival video saying most people drown when their vehicle goes into water because their first response is to call 911 instead of getting out. Makes sense. The hammer is relatively heavy so I stowed it in my center console as I was afraid the weight would cause issues if I strapped it onto the visor." —Wifey

    Price: $14.99 (available in two colors)

    14. A set of sun, glare, and UV ray protecting EcoNour Car Window Sun Shades designed using a mesh fabric that'll leave your car cooler and with a bit more shade.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "Nicely made and easy to use. I didn’t know how the static was going to hold but it’s awesome and strong! I highly recommend this product for someone wanting extra shade and protection from the sun. Arizona heat and sun are extreme and this product helps big time driving." —Taylor V

    Price: $11.96+ (available in two colors)

    15. A pretty fancy QBUC Solar Energy Car Air Freshener that uses the power of the sun to propel a delightfully scented fragrance, leaving your car smelling like heaven.

    Amazon, @simplysalfinds / Via tiktok.com

    Promising review: "Coolest air freshener ever! We got this air freshener for our new truck, it not only looks super cool but also keeps the good smell going! this is great for aromatherapy on the go! I got compliments in how great it looks and how awesome it is that it works with the sunlight!" —MediaBoxEnt

    Price: $15.99+ (available in two colors)

    16. A Seven Sparta Car Cup Holder Expander Organizer perfect for those of us who like their drinks of the bigger variety.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    It has an expandable base of 2.5-3.75-inch diameters which can fit most 32- to 40-oz bottles and in 3.4-3.8-inch diameter cup holders.

    Promising review: "Chyuhh! This cup holder/expander is excellent!! I was pleasantly surprised with the materials — very sturdy. Also, it. does. not. rattle! For those of you who can’t get enough of the larger Hydro Flask/Yetis and are tired of them flying off of your passenger seat onto the floorboard, praise be this little guy. Do yourself a favor and just shell out the $25. So here’s the compatibility breakdown (mind you, this is not all-inclusive, just validation for my gear): Hydro Flask 32-oz, Hydro Flask 40-oz, Yeti Rambler 26-oz, Yeti Rambler 30-oz, Camelbak Chute Mag 32-oz, Camelbak Chute Mag 40-oz (it’s tight, but fits), S’well Traveler: 16- and 20-oz, and the Nalgene bottle: 32-oz. Cheers!" —Chelsea Marquart

    Price: $24.99

    17. A roomy Kartisen Car Sun Visor Organizer designed with slots to hold everything from your sunglasses to your phone.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "Like the storage capacity and it doesn't get in the way of your vision when the visor is down. Keeps everything handy." —Rob

    Price: $13.97 (available in three colors)

    18. Or go with a compact Fredysu Car Visor Tissue Holder so you're never searching through your car for a tissue again.

    Amazon, @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com

    Promising review: "We've had this beat-up box of Kleenex in the car for probably a couple years now. It always gets squished and trampled and thrown around the vehicle and after cleaning the car the other day I finally decided enough was enough and started looking for better options. This product fits the bill perfectly! It was the most basic looking one I could find (which is exactly what I wanted) and looks great in our black interior SUV. It comes with a pack of tissues but I used the tissues in our ratty old box to make sure it would work. And they do! But you have to make sure you don't overfill it or the tissues will rip when you try to pull them out, due to them being packed too tightly inside the holder. Less is more, as they say. I'm SO PLEASED with this 'upgrade' to our car — it's such an affordable price and so much better than having a crumpled box of tissues flying around. My only regret is not buying this years ago. Absolutely would recommend!" —Kelliar

    Price: $11.79+ (available in three colors)

    19. A bottle of Rain-X Glass Treatment Trigger for some seriously dramatic improvements to your visibility when you're driving — it works by repeling rain and reducing the adhesion of sleet, mud, bugs, and snow on your windshield.

    @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com, Amazon

    Promising review: "If you haven't used this before and you get a lot of rain, try this stuff out. I'm from Seattle and I've been using this for years. You may not have heard this, but it rains often in Seattle. One application usually lasts at least a month or two, even in heavy rain. Makes sure your windows are clean before applying. Usually putting it on right after going through the car wash is fine." —Sean

    Price: $11.66

    20. A dual AINOPE USB Port Car Charger so you can basically have a full-on electronic setup in your auto.

    Amazon, @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com

    Promising review: "Nice-looking charger. The metal housing makes it feel solid, not cheap like the plastic ones. Does what it's supposed to do." —Sweetlife

    Price: $12.99 (available in three colors)

    21. And a very decorative Aevdor USB Night Light that'll have your car lookin' like the club you hated going to but all of a sudden miss because you can't go.

    Amazon, @toponlinefinds / Via tiktok.com

    Promising review: "Very fun! Everyone thinks it’s a cool thing to have when you drive a bucket like me! 🤩" —Alina

    Price: $11.99+ (available in three colors)
