For most people, filling their homes with treasured possessions and precious memories is second nature, but did you know that an equal amount of people fill their CARS with special and sentimental items too?

Cars, unlike homes, are seen by many as a chance to occupy an item that is both functional as well as personal.

What's more personal than the sentimental items you decide to pack in your car?

A Home Away From Home

So if you have a car that's become home-away-from-home on your travels, this list will give you some idea of what other drivers across the country have crammed into their cars.

Indeed, many of these items will surprise and entertain.

Personalized License Plates

Having a personalized license plate on your car is very popular, especially if it's a car that you've owned for a long time.

License plates come in all kinds of designs and colors, and there are hundreds of thousands of different combinations to choose from.

The most common choice is the standard 'NO PARKING' or 'RESTRICTED' plates or a plate that shows your favorite cartoon character.

The good news? There's a huge variety of cherished number plates for sale online that are legal to own!

A Good Luck Charm

Putting a good luck charm in your car or truck is also very popular.

You can paint a symbol of faith on the car, keep a soft toy from your childhood in there, and there are plenty of different symbols that people can put on their cars that mean different things.

The most common choice is the heart-shaped charm, which is seen on the dashboard or windshield, and it's especially popular with women.

A Family Photo In The Sun Visor

The sun visor in a car is the perfect place to store a family photograph that reflects your fondness for that one special time in your life.

Families across the country have photos of late relatives and friends displayed in the sun visor, keeping them close on their travels.

What's more, there are lots of different ways to display photos in the rest of the car. You can get customized prints printed into your dashboard, or you could even get a crystal that shows off family photographs as a hanging charm.

Old School Fuzzy Hanging Dice

There's nothing more iconic than a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror in a car, and that goes for any vehicle.

These dice are loaded with symbolism, and they're typically given to teens and young adults by their parents, who hope the lucky dice will bring them good luck.

The most common choice is the 'pool-table' style of fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror, but there are many other designs that people enjoy hanging too.

A Comfy Sweater

Both practical and comforting, keeping a sweater in the back of your car is a wonderful idea.

When the temperature drops, you can toss on the sweater from the back and relax while it warms up in a minute or two.

There are lots of different types of sweaters that people like to keep by their side, but the most common choice is a hoody that looks extra cozy when kept in the car.
