That's so bizarre.


Why? When do you give a older couple unrelated to you a present for buying their first new car? It's patronizing.

Does it have integrated navigation with their smartphone?

It probably does, but if not, it's nice to get a phone holder that works well with the car's specific model. That does require some sleuthing.

Literally why do you feel the need to insert yourself into this event? Super weird OP.

Pay their first property tax bill?

Or maybe those rubber all-weather mats for the interior.

Or, crown air fresheners.

Dash cam. They will probably have a few fender benders at their age.

How about one of those window breaker things in case they drive into a river?

A reminder to turn their blinker off.

That's funny(and true), but new cars have a reminder after a minute or so.

A nice keychain along with an AirTag holder in the chain in case they lose the car keys ( assuming they have iPhones)
