    lots of obvious things like shammy, car wax, air fresheners (fluffy dice if they like that kinda thing :rolleyes:) maybe a subscription to a car mag? are they into modifying cars (boy racer stylee) or just tinkering?

    oh yes a subscription would be an idea.
    they are into all sorts, modifying as well. but i don't really have a clue about that.

    There are several Mini Magazines out there that you can subscribe to :)
    Also Mini branded key rings, tops, caps etc just DON'T buy anything related to new BMW mini's if they are into the OLD mini's... it would be highly unpopular :)

    I know this isn't much use for a male-oriented car hamper, but I am in the process of putting one together as a Christmas present for my niece, who recently passed her driving test. I'm doing a very girlie one, with a pink bucket, pink sponges and pink car wash liquid (all bought from Asda, as they are selling them as part of their breast cancer fundraising range), and I've added a pink trainer-shaped air freshener and a few other bits and bobs.

    Might be an idea for anyone else thinking about a girl's car hamper ......
