Bored of gifting the same old, run-of-the-mill roses, cards, teddies, heart-shaped pendants and box of chocolates? ZigWheels suggests some funky car gadgets and accessories to impress your lady with this Valentine's Day.

Coffee cup power inverter: Here is a perfect gift that lets your girlfriend remain fresh and alert after a stressful day – a fresh and hot cup of coffee right in her car. This coffee cup power inverter easily fits into standard cup holders and serves you best with 2 AC plugs and a USB port. The inverter coverts your car's DC power into two 120-volt AC outlets. The device is 6-inch tall x 3.5-inch wide, which indeed is quite handy, and comes with one year warranty.

NAVON GPS485 device: This is one device that will surely help your damsel in distress when driving her way around unfamiliar territory or when she's travelling by cab. A NAVON GPS485 device powered by NAVTEQ maps of India will find the fastest route to wherever she's heading and offer clear, step-by-step directions. The device is priced at Rs. 13,900 for a 4.3-inch Powerful street navigator. There's even a nifty Android app that you can  download on to her phone for Rs. 2,000. 

The device comes loaded with features like Junction View for a clearer picture of where exactly you are, My Address to help you reach your home from any part of India, Text-to-Speech to speak out the street names that, too, in Indian accent and voice guidance in both Hindi and English.

i3G Power Station for iPod and iPhone: The i3G Power Station is a handy pocket-sized iPhone or iPod battery backup pack. It's rechargeable via the same USB cable that you charge your iPhone/iPod with and gives loads of extra power backup when normal charging facilities are not available. It's the perfect solution for her especially if she forgets to carry her charger or is always on the move. This device incorporates a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery that can give up to 250 hours extra standby time, up to five hours talk time or up to 20 hours extra music playback time. Small enough to fit in her clutch, this i3G Power Station will never let her go out of power and touch.

Snake scope camera: The snake scope camera lets you peek into places you could never otherwise see. Before you get any weird ideas, it's essentially a consumer borescope comprising a long, flexible tube with an eyepiece on one end and a camera lens on the other. The snake scope camera is usually used for industrial purposes but can also be effective in finding things (keys, earrings) that may drop and roll into those hard-to-reach spots in a car. It's especially handy for searching things in the dark as it comes with a LED light at the end where the lens is. Another neat feature is an attachable magnet that lets you recover metallic objects.

Breathalyzer keyring, flashlight and stopwatch: This is a new three-in-one device that can fit into her car key juts like a keychain. The flashlight and stopwatch are nothing to write home about but the coolest feature is the mini breathalyzer that comes with a traffic light readout style system to check your level of drunkenness. Simply blow into the device for 5 seconds to get the results – a green light indicates you are good to go; a yellow implies you wait a while before heading home and a red indicates that you're too tipsy to drive. While we cannot vouch for the device’s accuracy, it does serve as a useful reference on days when your girl or her friends may have had a drink too many.
