They always are willing to split a Lyft home, know the bus routes backwards and forwards, and they always have an extra sweater in case it gets cold while they wait for the bus. So you can\u2019t exactly buy them a car for Christmas. Here are a few things you can get them to help make their long waits for the bus and 3-person Lyft lines bearable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. A Top-Rated Portable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-speed-Technology\/dp\/B0194WDVHI\/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1512422672&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=portable+cell+phone+charger\">Cell Phone Charger<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2410\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Cell-Phone-Charger.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"522\" height=\"522\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between coordinating plans, checking email, and calling a ride, phone batteries can die quick. And while those of us with cars always have a car charger handy, your friend who relies on Lyft for transportation does not. Save them from their greatest fear of running out of battery with Amazon\u2019s choice for best portable cell phone charger. It\u2019ll charge any phone, regardless of its maker, and holds enough life for three full iPhone charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Save Their Stuff with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/product\/118866\/rei-co-op-ducks-back-rain-cover-20-liters\">Waterproof Bag Cover<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2411\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/bag-cover.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"277\" height=\"510\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waiting for a bus in the rain is bad enough, but it\u2019s even worse when you\u2019re hunched over your bag, trying to keep it from getting soaked. A waterproof bag cover works with everything from designer handbags to heavy-duty backpacks to keep important documents (and suede clutches) perfectly dry. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapaper.com\/\">Service That Lets You Keep Reading the News<\/a>, Regardless of Cell Service<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2412\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/instapaper.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"230\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether they\u2019re in the back of their Lyft or stuck on a subway, let your car-free friend keep up on the news with a subscription to Instapaper. For $30 per year, the app lets you save any article to your Instapaper account, where you can pick up reading it anytime, even if there\u2019s no cell service or wifi. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/sony-noise-canceling-headphones\/-\/A-11099113?sid=2786S&amp;ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&amp;AFID=google_pla_df&amp;CPNG=PLA_Electronics+Shopping_Local&amp;adgroup=SC_Electronics&amp;LID=700000001170770pgs&amp;network=g&amp;device=c&amp;location=9060413&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMInoSlx67x1wIVFdNkCh2ATQ6rEAQYBSABEgLJrvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\">Headphones<\/a> to Block Out the Sounds of Their Commute<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2413\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/headphones.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1560\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A set of big, noise-cancelling headphones will block out all unwanted conversation, as well as the folks who believe that a train is the best place to use speaker phone. They\u2019ll be so immersed in another world, they won\u2019t even notice the clanking as their train heads down the tracks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Rides to Every Night Out with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyft.com\/gift\">Lyft Gift Card<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2414\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-06-at-2.19.01-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"693\" height=\"703\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are, your car-free friend has at some point or another had to say no to some time together because they\u2019ve spent too much on Lyft. Save them from missing another night out with the gift of rides (and maybe even the opportunity to indulge in a Lyft Premiere). <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sunbond-Rechargeable-2600mah-Batteries-Motorcycle\/dp\/B076Y8DFZ6\/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1512423893&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=heated+attire\">Heated Clothing<\/a> to Keep Them Warm While They Walk in the Cold<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2415\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/heated-vest.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waiting for bus in the rain is pretty bad, but so is walking home in the freezing weather. Keep your friend cozy no matter what they\u2019re wearing by giving them a layer that will warm their heart (literally). A heated vest will keep them warm no matter how cold it gets. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superfeet.com\/en-us\/insoles-and-sandals\/green\">Soft Insoles<\/a> to Ease All That Walking<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2416\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/insoles.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/insoles.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/insoles-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/insoles-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even on days where they\u2019re stuck out on the concrete, these super-soft, shock absorbing insoles will make it feel like a walk in the park. They\u2019re perfect for a long day at work or a relaxing walk home afterwards (not to mention late nights at the bar afterwards). <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>8. <b>Help Moving with a<\/b><b> <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/book.dolly.com\/gift?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=car-free-gift-guide\"><b>Gift Card to Dolly<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2417\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DSC1510.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1001\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your friend doesn\u2019t have a car, they\u2019ve probably asked you at some point to help them move &#8211; or worse, they\u2019ve made you help them squeeze too many large flat-packs into the car of a very annoyed UberXL driver. Kindly tell your friend that you\u2019re not helping them move next time with the gift of Dolly &#8211; we\u2019ll provide truck and muscle for help bringing home your friend\u2019s craigslist pickup, moving their studio apartment, or even delivering those IKEA flat packs.

Paper shopping bags barely hold up on the trip from the shopping cart to your backseat &#8211; now imagine them trying to survive the bus and a walk across town. Your friend will never have to worry about broken bags (or broken dreams) again with this heavy-duty canvas bag that will help them shop with confidence, plus help the environment.<\/p>\n<h2>10.

But bikes don\u2019t just have a spare tire in the trunk, so if your friend\u2019s tire goes flat, well&#8230;it could be a long walk home. Enter this compact and convenient bike repair kit, which your friend can store in their backpack and use if they ever get a flat, broken chain, or have any other issue. With this gift, you\u2019ll be their equivalent of your roadside hero from AAA.<\/p>\n<h2><b>11.
