Flat tyre? No spare? This will be able to help you get back home by sealing any punctures. Simply spray the foam into the tyre and drive it slowly to a repair centre.

These are ideal for quick wipe downs for spills, mud marks, dust, bug smears and whatever life or your muddy dog throws at you.
Portable power bank + charging cables

Extremely handy in case of emergency or if you’re heading out without a full battery. You can even get a solar powered one on the rare occasion (read: day) when we get sun in the UK.

Important to keep your screen wash reservoir topped up, for an obvious reason. That reason being... you need to actually see where you're going.
Pen + paper

Going to be five minutes and leaving a note? Got a phone call and need to take down some info? Had an accident and need to take details?
This will come in very handy for taking quick notes.
