Two quality pairs of scissors. (Sure, a good knife is also great, but will cost you 3x as much).

Good electric pencil sharpener (if they have kids; ours gets used daily for 2 elem. schoolers)

A trash can for the car.

The good OXO garlic press with the little plastic thing that clears the unused garlic from the holes.

A hand-crank radio/flashlight. Great for emergencies.

Re-useable mesh produce bags.

AAA is not great either. If you break down or get in an accident their tow trucks could be 2 hours. Police tow is 30 mins or less.


Open an Etsy store selling good first aid kits

the police don’t want to jump your dead battery or get the keys out of a locked car. There are also great AAA benefits like passport renewal, discounted travel, free passport photos 1x/year. Etc
