What Car? Christmas gift guide - Car gadgets

Car coffee maker
From Edirectory.co.uk
Price £8.95
Coffee fans will love this one. It's ideal for those who can't wait until they get to work for their early morning caffeine hit. You can brew a mug at the side of the road using power from the car's 12-Volt lighter socket.

Electric Windscreen Scraper
From Presentsformen.co.uk
Price £14.99
No-one likes scraping frost off their car on an icy morning, but an electric scraper could make it a bit more bearable. It's powered by the car's 12-Volt lighter socket, and has a built-in heating element to melt ice and frost.

Heated Massaging Car Seat From Maplin.co.uk Price £29.99 Give frosty mornings the cold shoulder with a heated, massaging seat cover. It fits snuggly over the seat, and heats the driver gently.

Electric Car Jack
From Maplin.co.uk
Price £49.99
Okay, so a jack isn't the most exciting of Christmas pressies, but the recipient will be hugely grateful if they get a flat tyre on a frosty morning. This electric jack will lift a car at the touch of a button using power from a 12-Volt socket.

Harman Kardon Drive + Play From Caraudiosecurity.com Price £59.99 The ideal gift for iPod lovers. Instead of copying all their music to CD when they're out on the road, this Harman Kardon system allows them to play their tunes through the car radio, so they can listen to their iPod safely on the move.

PURE Highway DAB digital radio
From www.dnacaraudio.co.uk
Price £69.95
This sticks to the windscreen with a sucker and gives access to all the UK's digital radio stations. It's a fabulous gift for radio fans who want a little more choice and better reception, and it's a lot cheaper than swapping a car's in-built stereo for a DAB system.

TomTom ONE 3rd Edition From Halfords.com Price £133.30 Winner of the under £150 in our recent sat-nav supertest. We liked its easy-to-follow maps, simple menus, clear spoken instructions and well-designed cradle. Visit Halfords.com and save £15 on the RRP.

Parrot 3200LS colour hands-free kit
From Halfords.com
Price £109.99
Many modern sat-navs double as a Bluetooth hands-free kit, but this Parrot 3200LS is a designated hands-free device and offers many more features. It has a dash-mounted control, with call connect and disconnect buttons. It also comes with a separate directional microphone for excellent sound quality.

Clarion MAP670 From Caraudiodirect.co.uk Price £236.98 If you've got a bit more to spend, the Clarion MAP670 was our favourite sat-nav in the £150 to £250 budget of our recent sat-nav supertest. We found the software very easy to use, and the unit was super quick at navigating through the menus and at calculating routes. Save £13 on the RRP at Car Audio Direct.

From Halfords.com
Price £269.88
If money's no object, our favourite unit in our recent sat-nav supertest was the TomTom Go 720. It's rather expensive, with a RRP of £280, but it comes with loads of features, and you can pick it up for £269 if you visit Halfords.com.
