Family road trips are an important rite of passage for many children. Every child remembers springing out of bed before sunrise, dressing quickly, and gulping down breakfast so that the family can load its stuffed suitcases into the car and set out on an exciting journey. There is perhaps no feeling sweeter than resting one’s head on and overstuffed pillow pressed against the car window while the engine purrs reassuringly beneath one’s feet. With a blanket pulled up around one’s waist, a favorite book or favorite toy nestled in one’s lap and songs spilling from the radio, the world regains its adventurous sparkle. In addition to fun gear, road trips often require games and activities to pass the time, whether that be a travel sized Scrabble board, well-loved Etch-a-Sketch or I Spy. Of course the landscape itself provides ample opportunity for entertainment, and license plates often form the cornerstone of quality travel games, whether participants aim to spot plates from all fifty states or identify the most interesting combo of numbers and letters. Oftentimes it is the most creative plates that draw the most attention, whether they’re particularly witty or positively giggle inducing.

These patterned vanity license plate holders make an excellent gift, whether you’re buying for yourself, a friend, or family. Stephanie of Wisconsin, who recently purchased a personalized plate for her daughter, wrote, “A few months ago, my seventeen year old daughter finally got her license and was quite excited to begin driving. The only thing she was bummed about was that her car would be a hand-me-down from her older sister, who had added embellishments to the car that didn’t suit her younger sister’s personality. To help convince our youngest, I ordered the blue coral plate with her initials so that she’d feel more like the car was her own. It was an inexpensive gift, but she really appreciated it and her friends have all asked me where they can order one for themselves.” You too can celebrate your new driver’s license and independence with any one of these specialized plates. Not only will they appreciate the personal touch, but they will also provide excellent fodder for the road trip games of other travelers.
