There are few things as unpleasant as stepping into a freezing cold car in the morning, and no matter how well bundled up you are, chances are you’re going to suffer for at least 10 minutes until the car engine heats up enough to start blowing warm air. But surely there’s an alternative now we’re in the 21st century?

Well maybe. This 5 in 1 Rechargeable Car Heater is a standalone heater with a digital timer which you can set so it throws out warm air before you step into the vehicle in the frost. Now we’re not told exactly how warm this air is, and there’s plenty of disclaimers around, so we’re guessing it’s not going to do much more than bring the temperature up a degree or two. But even so, maybe that’s enough?

It comes with all the cables you need, and the five in one functionality refers to the fact that it also does service as a USB charger, LED flashlight, basic fan blower and a car battery monitor (pretty useful in cold weather, we’re thinking). Priced at £85.99.
