What To Buy For Your Car Instead Of Turning It Into A VSCO Hangout

From tiny storage spaces in walls to childhood treehouses, there’s nothing that can’t be transformed with a scrunchie and a Hydro flask. While VSCO hangout makeovers may be taking your favourite social media apps by storm, the practicality behind them can leave a little something to be desired.

This is especially true when the trend converges with that of your first car. Fairy lights tend to be illegal in vehicles and I’d err on the side of caution when it comes to a home paint job, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make changes that will make all your friends want to call shotgun. Be warned though — you may end up as the first choice for the designated driver at every event, like, ever.

Getting an aux installed can be time-consuming and messy, leaving you with unsightly wires and the music choice limited to that of whoever is in the passenger seat. This handy Bluetooth transmitter slots right into the cigarette lighter (because who even uses it for that, anyway?) and plays music seamlessly through you car speakers. It’s multi-purpose so can be used for hands-free calling or your favourite playlist and even has two USB ports for charging.

What’s the point in buying a new hydro flask for your car if you don’t have enough space for them all once your car is full up? Fear no more — the super mug holder is here to save the day. It can conveniently fit 4 mugs and even has a compartment for bits and bobs (an emergency scrunchie, perhaps).

Miniature versions are better than the originals and that is a hill I am willing to die on. Quite often, space is something that is lacking in cars and therefore, a miniature toolkit is perfect for all of those random little bits of DIY that you may or may not need to do throughout a journey. Okay, so it may not be any use when it comes to changing a tyre but look at that tiny red toolbox and tell me you don’t need it…

Lay flat on the passenger’s side of the dashboard and let the sunlight do its magic. It allows for charging when the car isn’t on, without using up your electricity, meaning less chance of your battery running flat. It’s also showerproof, so if you really wanted to, you could attach it to the top of your car and pretend it was a real solar panel (but I think the dash would be fine).

It can be incredibly easy to get in the habit of just chucking things in the boot and leaving them there, safe in the knowledge that it’ll be there whenever you may need it next. However, it’s all too common for these items to pile up and your car boot to become frankly unusable. A handy and compact storage organiser like this one means that there is a place for everything and everything has its place.
