Give the gift of a clean car with this bestselling vehicle trash can, just $15
This clever waterproof multitasker has pockets for snacks and other supplies, and it's a favorite of 34,000 Amazon shoppers.
I'd like to think that I keep a pretty tidy car, though it's hardly spotless by any means. One thing that I and thousands of Amazon shoppers use to help keep all of that clutter at bay? The bestselling Hotor Car Trash Can, which makes a practical gift for just about any car owner in your life. The best part: It will only set you back $15 — less than a meal at the drive-thru these days — and will arrive at your doorstep days before Christmas! If you're still unsure of what to buy for that person who has everything, you may have hit the gifting jackpot with this one.

A waterproof, leakproof design means you don't need to worry about anything icky dripping onto your floor mats. Alternatively, you can use this as an in-car organizer for accessories and other supplies.
You can't put a price on the stress relief a clean ride brings, but for $15, it's less than or right on par with one trip to the car wash. Plus, it'll keep paying off every single time you look at your spick and span, crumb- and wrapper-free interior.
I just cleaned out the interior of my car after a long trip the other day. Cans, bottles, tissues and receipts — oh so many receipts — had found their way into every cup holder and storage compartment. This trash can gives you an easy place to dispose of all of that before it starts to build up. It's waterproof, removable and machine washable, so say goodbye to those leaky messes.
Another feature of the Hotor I love: the three mesh pockets on the exterior that can hold everything from napkins and tissues (a necessity on even the shortest of car trips these days) to small toys and snacks. lt means I never have a hangry toddler shouting at me from the back seat (well, depending on how fast I can pass the fruit snacks).
Think a 2-gallon trash can isn't big enough to hold all that your family can throw at it? There's a simple solution: the 3-gallon variety for a few bucks more.
This car trash can has over 34,000 five-star reviews on Amazon — proving that sometimes, the simple things make the biggest difference.
"I used to just throw my trash in the slot on the sides of my car doors and the trash would pile up quickly," wrote one motorist. "This has been a game-changer. [It] keeps my car so much cleaner and holds over two weeks of trash."
"I really like this as I don't like a bag hanging and this blends in with my dark interior," testified another. "It's large enough for your needs and easy to change the bags. I've had others that haven't held up as well as this. The size is perfect and the material is stitched as well and shows great durability. If you want to skip out on bag replacements, we use the small bathroom trash bags as replacements and they fit great!"
"I used to have receipts, food wrappers and all kinds of junk around my car," recalled a reviewer. "Since getting this bin, my car has been spotless. I mounted mine to hang behind my center console. Highly recommend."
This customer had a particular nit to pick: "This bag is made with great quality material. The stitching is strong. This bag will hold up for quite some time... It would be nice if it came with more than [just] two plastic bags."
"The only complaint I have about this item was that I was expecting it to be a more sturdy box-like item, but when it arrived, I discovered that it's basically an inexpensive lung box that's deflated," said a five-star fan. "However, this concern is no longer a problem for me as once you set it up, the shape holds and it is able to hold plenty of trash."

Strap this bad boy right to the back of your front passenger seat so it's easy for everyone to access.
Does your car have a brown interior? This may be a better vibe!

Prefer a color that's still muted, but not basic black? Brown fits the bill for a few bucks more.
