Consider framing it as a “New Year Reset” for January or February—perfect timing for anyone managing holiday expenses.
7) The Road Trip Comfort Pack
If someone on your list loves long drives, put together a comfort pack with seat-warmer covers, a sturdy phone mount, a USB car charger, and a soft travel blanket. You can also add a tire rotation and alignment check to help ensure a smooth, comfortable ride for their next adventure.
