A car trunk organizer—and honestly, I think everyone should have one. I used to have bags sliding around, groceries tipping over, random toddler gear everywhere… total chaos. Now I’ve got this foldable organizer with compartments that keeps everything in place: emergency kit in one section, reusable bags in another, and extra wipes/snacks tucked away neatly. It’s one of those super simple things that instantly makes your car feel more put-together and way less stressful. When I need trunk space, I can just collapse it.
I didn’t realize how much I needed a mini trash can until I got one. I use a small, lidded car trash bin that fits between seats (or you can hang it behind the front seat), and it’s been life-changing — especially with kids in the back. Fast food wrappers, Starbucks receipts, gum, snack bags... everything used to end up in cup holders or on the floor. Now, I just empty it every few days and my car always feels cleaner.

I’m building a ‘just-in-case’ car kit and want genuinely useful items that’ve saved your day — not just emergency stuff, but practical everyday wins.
