2. Mini Car Trash Can

Do you have the habit of enjoying a sweet or a puff while driving?

But, most trash cans are too big and cannot be stored right next to you so you can just reach out to throw away the sweet wrapper or cigarette ash.

This mini trash can is small enough to fit most cup holder slots in the gear panel area, next to you, so that you can discard the contents with ease.

Made of heat-resistant ABS plastic and comes with a lid so that you can snuff out the cigarette butt without the worry of making a mess. 

3. Car Boot Organiser
