What do you keep in the glove box?

georgia1

Hi I'm just sorting out the glove box in the car and wondering what others keep in there. I've got details of my breakdown cover, a torch, pen and car manual but that's about it. I know there's not much space but I was thinking of adding a small first aid kit - any other ideas, especially things that might be useful in an emergency?

In mine I have:
Spare specs
Wet Wipes
Tissues
Leftover MacD's sugars and stirers
Spare satnav cable
Breakdown cover docs
ICE phone numbers
Cheapo plastic mac
Headache pills
Decaff coffee sachets

.... think that's about it.

Disposable gloves and one of those disposable poncho thingies, useful for keeping clothes clean if you have to change a tyre.

Mini can deodorant
Mini toothbrush and toothpaste
£5 note and 5 £1 coins
Spare girlie essentials
Spare tablets
Drinking straw
Spoon
Tissues
Perfume

That's just the stuff I can remember. I have other useful stuff too - it all fits in a small makeup bag so doesn't take up much room, but is so handy.

I wish I had said a fully loaded .44 magnum .....Would have sounded much more intimidating than gloves

Maps, sunglasses, driving glasses (I only need them when I'm tired.)
Aerial topper than never made it as far as the aerial.
Dried up windscreen wipes that don't work any more.
One of those discs that you can use to park for an hour or so in permit areas.
Assorted bits of paper that were once useful then got shoved in there as the car doesn't have a bin - generally printed directions off google to unfamiliar places I've had to get to.

Nothing useful, basically, apart from the first three.

I have the manual for my car, anti-bacterial gel, tissues, microfibre cloth for windows, torch, pen, notepad, sat-nav, street map of my home town (from when I first moved here 7 years ago ), some latex gloves in case I need to fix/change anything, a bag of chocolate eclairs and a spare pair of sunglasses.

Car and car seat manuals and assorted car paperwork.
2 pairs of spare sunglasses
phone charging cables
the littlies baptism certs and candles.
a straw.

There is usually a torch but the 2 y/o nicked it yesterday.

I opened ours earlier looking for a CD and found a wind up torch shaped like a pig, a melted half eaten chocolate bar, some very out of date anti diarrhoea tablets (?!), a hairbrush, and DH's iPod that he thought he had lost about 2 years ago! So not very useful whatsoever!

scraps of paper waiting to be binned
