Now that your teen is driving on their own, you are likely a bit worried about their safety due to their lack of experience. You can support your teen as a new driver when it comes time for gift giving – consider giving them one or more of the following gift ideas the next time a special occasion comes around:

Pay Their Auto Insurance

If your teen will be driving their own vehicle now that they're licensed, you can support them as they learn about all the aspects of vehicle maintenance by paying their auto insurance bill for two or three months. By helping with auto insurance, your teen can save their money for important repairs, vehicle upgrades, and the gas they need to stay on the road. You may even be able to combine the insurance for your vehicle and theirs, even if you have to switch your current policy, to save you both some money as time goes on – which is an ongoing gift you can both appreciate. Talk to an agent like those at Wolf Insurance Agency for more information on adding a teen driver.

Make a Coupon Book

A fun way to support your teen as they work toward becoming a responsible driver is to present them with a book full of coupons they can use to take advantage of your services. Make a coupon for car washing, a tank of gas, interior detailing, and so on. Perhaps they'd appreciate a coupon that will get a tire changed in the future? The idea is to present them with a series of coupons that can be used to make their life a little easier as they learn the rope of owning a vehicle.

Create a Safety Kit

To make sure that your teen stays safe while traveling alone or with friends, consider creating a safety kit for them to keep in their trunk. In a backpack or similar sized bag, you can fit enough stuff to create a mini mechanic's garage in the trunk for your teen. In addition to the basics like flares and a tire changing set, include:

• First-Aid Pack
• Thermal Blanket
• Hand Towelettes
• Rain Poncho
• Latex Gloves

A small set of wrenches and screwdrivers can also come in handy and make it possible for your teen to make basic repairs when needed.

These gift ideas are perfect for any occasion throughout the year whether it's a birthday or just a day when you want to show your teen how much you care.
