“Ah! I can’t find my keys!” has been utter by everyone at one point. Some people are constantly looking for their misplaced keys or have a schedule so tight that 5 minutes spent searching can throw off their entire day. Attach this tracker to a key ring and you can simply tap the app on your smartphone and the tracker will ring loudly! To make this a versatile gift, it can attach it to anything – wallets, bags or remote controls. And it works in reverse, too. If you misplaced your phone, this tracker can make it ring!

A dash cam records the action around a vehicle and can make all the difference if you’re in an accident. If someone on your list likes the gift of security and assurance, this is perfect. On the flip side, the cool footage you record can be posted to social networks and shared with friends. A great gift that’s safety-conscious yet fun!!

For the person who loves a good road trip movie, look for a t-shirt with one of their favorite quotes or one that can be customized, like this National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation shirt. They’ll get a good laugh!

Car technology adapts and changes so quickly but many people buy cars to last 10 or more years. If someone on your list isn’t willing to trade in a good vehicle for the newest “bells and whistles” but still likes to have convenient technology in their car, you can give the gift of a hands-free experience. This receiver adds Bluetooth functionality to a car so they can stream music and make calls.
