Trying to find a good gift for a new driver? This list of over 30 ideas will help you pick the perfect gift for the new drivers in your life.
If you’re like me, you might be looking for gift ideas for a new driver this Christmas. This spring we added a new driver to our family. With one teen driving, I thought it would be fun to put together a list of gifts for new car owners or new drivers. These are also great gifts for someone who passed their driving test.

As teens get older, finding the perfect Christmas gift can get hard. They tend to want cash (who doesn’t!) and gift cards. I still like to have some gifts under the tree for our teens to unwrap and thought that adding some gifts for the new driver would be fun. Below is a list of gift ideas that any new driver would love to receive.
Gift Ideas for New Drivers
1. 4-in-1 Retractable Phone Charger
This phone charger keeps all of your cords neat when you’re not using them. It includes a charger for iPhone and Android phones.
2. Mirror Back-Up Camera
My husband has this backup camera mirror in his truck and it is really nice! It would be a great gift for a new driver who might appreciate a little added confidence backing up safely.

5. Dipping Sauce Holder

6. Car Trash with Lid
Having an actual trash can in your car will keep all the straw wrappers and receipts from piling up!
7. Car Play Radio with Backup Camera
This would be a great bigger gift to give a new driver who doesn’t have a very fancy radio in their car. These radios can be added to most vehicles and give you all of the benefits of Apple Car Play or Android Audio. It allows drivers to connect their phones so they can use the touch screen to manage GPS directions and music without picking up their phones. It’s a much safer option.
8. Reusable Grocery Tote Bags
Many states now charge for grocery bags so it’s a great idea to always have some reusable bags on hand.
9. Bluetooth FM Transmitter Wireless Radio Adapter
Another great gift for a new driver is a hands-free Bluetooth connector if their car does not have Bluetooth capabilities. This allows them to connect their phones and listen to their favorite tunes while driving.
