A black phone holder with a moveable arm and a suction cup is a great last minute gift for an overlander.

MSRP: $24.99

The best last-minute gift is a gift of convenience. This is an eternal struggle of overlanders and off-roaders: hit a particularly nasty bump and your phone goes flying, and there’s no bigger pain than having to dig it out from under the seats. This prone mount soves that problem; plus, it’s got wireless charging, so you’ll never have to worry about losing battery when you need it most. Over 20,000 reviews rate this phone holder 4 stars.

06 Navycrest/ Dash Cam 

A black dash camera sends footage to an iPhone app with map function.

MSRP: $89.99

A dash cam is a great multipurpose gift for someone who’s always on the road. First of all, it’s a measure of added security in case of any accidents. The more time we spend moving, the more likely an accident becomes, and we like to be prepared. On the other hand, a dash cam is awesome to have on hand to capture all kinds of sweet off-road action. This one automatically sends high-quality video straight to your phone using an app, too.

07 Nualxy/ Wireless Bluetooth In-car Bluetooth Transmitter

A black 12V charger connects with a cord to a small black display with a screen and small dial.

MSRP: $27.99

We’re fans of a rig that’s an oldie but a goodie, but we’re also fans of listening to our own tunes on the road. Having a simple plug-in Bluetooth adapter is the best of both worlds, making it easy to listen to your own music without making serious changes to the inside of your vehicle. The screen clips right in to your air vent and displays most of the things Android Auto or Apple CarPlay would show you: incoming calls, track names, and more.

08 Scrubba/ Portable Wash Bag Kit

A clear bag with brown, blue, and green Scrubba last minute gift kit inside.

MSRP: $99.99

When you travel often and pack light, your clothes take the hit. The same t-shirt can only take so many consecutive wears before it starts to be everyone’s problem. That’s where the Scrubba system comes in. This handy little packet makes it easy to wash your clothes on the go and essentially pays for itself in just a few uses. No need to double up on hiking or workout clothes and let them get stinky while traveling.
