If your car has ever doubled as a mobile office, snack bar, or catch-all for life’s chaos... same. 😅 But keeping your car tidy can be easy... and cute too! Here are a few simple hacks to make your ride feel a little more calm, collected, and you.
These are all things I actually use (and make!) through my shop August Nine Home. Perfect for organizing the little things that make a big mess.
🧼 1. Car Coasters for Cupholder Crumbs
Cupholders = crumb collectors. A cute pair of neoprene coasters catches spills, sweat rings, and crumbs, and they’re super easy to pop out and wash. You can match them to your vibe, your car, or your favorite season. (And yes, I may have one set for every mood.)
💋 2. Clip-On Chapstick Holders
Toss one on your keys or your bag, and boom, no more melting chapstick under your seat. I clip mine to the inside of my purse or on the car’s center console so I never have to dig again.
Bonus: You can also use these to hold mini lip gloss, essential oil rollers, or even emergency cash.
🌬️ 3. Air Fresheners That Don’t Look Like a Tree
A cute car deserves cute fresheners! I make soft felt ones that hang from your rearview mirror. You can add your own essential oils or sprays, and they last way longer than store-bought versions. Pro tip: match the scent to the season for a full ✨vibe✨.
🧺 4. Small Storage Basket in the Trunk
Keep a bin in your trunk for:
-
Reusable shopping bags
-
Extra napkins/tissues
-
Umbrella
-
Snacks or kid gear
Not my product, just a bonus hack from one hot-mess car owner to another... lol!
🎁 5. Bundle It All for a Gift!
These car accessories make the cutest gift sets for:
-
New drivers 🚗
-
Moms on the go

Teacher appreciation

Stocking stuffers

Just-because gifts for your ride-or-die
Add a little note card and boom...practical + personal.
Whether you're organizing for yourself or putting together a fun gift, these simple car hacks bring a little peace to your everyday drive.
