Auto enthu- siasts can be a particu- larly tricky bunch to shop for. Luckily, we've compiled a wish list of six interesting – and useful – items to light up any driver's face this season. 1. Back up safely Every new model offered by automakers these days seems to come equipped with a rear- view camera to make backing up safer and easier. For cars without one, the Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera is easy to install and features a wireless setup with an extended 45-foot range and wide-angle view. ($149.99 at magellangps.com) 2. find the way A TomTom GPS makes the ideal gift for the directionally challenged. The World Trav- eller Edition 1505M features a large five-inch touchscreen, preloaded maps for Canada, the U.S. and Western Europe, plus spoken street names. ($199.99 at futureshop.ca) 3. drive in comfort Anyone with back pain knows that driving for long periods of time can be excruciating. But you can make roadtrips or daily commutes more comfort- able with the ObusForme Heat and Massage Seat Cushion, featuring four massage motors, a heating element and padded lumbar support. ($89.99 at canadiantire.ca) 4. speak freely It's not only dangerous to talk on your cellphone while driv- ing – it's also illegal in B.C. Use a Bluetooth speaker if you need to make a call, like the Jabra Freeway Speakerphone. You can easily make calls via voice commands, and the unit announces the names of incoming callers. ($119.99 at bestbuy.ca) 5. Just in case Because of life's unexpected surprises, every vehicle should carry a survival kit. The Northern Roads Vehicle Survival Kit includes every- thing you might need in the event of an emergency, such as a wind-up flashlight with radio, survival blanket, tow- rope, first aid kit and more. ($73.49 at costco.ca) 6. the easy option For the car nut who has it all, consider a Petro-Canada gift card. Available in denomina- tions of $25, $50 or $100, it can be used towards fuel or almost anything in the conve- nience store. Plus, BCAA Members earn 20% more Petro-Points at Petro-Canada.
