- boot tray
- 12v car charger

Time to shop for dashcam, other than that boot organiser (store some water, buy the premix coolant from the SC - new car unlikely the coolant in the reservoir will drop), car back seat water proof cover (in case you need to transport dirty stuff), car fire extinguisher,torchlight, towel,..

Don't put perfume first, enjoy the fresh new car smell

If have the battery jumper powerbank, you wont need the jumper cables.
I forgot to mention one more important thing, some tool kit set.

What's the foldable shovel for btw?

Items I bought when I collect my car last year

Phone mount, in car charger and cable
Coil mat carpet, it will make your looks clean (only if your car comes with normal carpet)
Dashcam
Microfiber towels
Emergency hammer tools? (idk whats it call, the hammer to break glass and cut seatbelt in case of emergency)
Window tint

Avoid liquid type perfume, coz if spill it will destroy your dashboard. I personally hate perfume in car haha
