Another few things would be to find out what the driver uses for brake pads, brake fluid, rotors, oil filter, etc., as those can be pricey and nice gifts. (I use Hawk DTC-60 front, HP+ rear pads, Motul RBF-600 fluid)
Portable battery powered air pump for tires I have one very similar to this. It's cheap and great to use for adjusting pressures before sessions.
A decent tire pressure gauge This is the one I have and have used for several years and I have been very happy with it.

Torque wrench, +200 ft/lbs This is the one I have been using for a few years and it works well.
I've got lots of other ideas for tools and such; specific socket sets, impact gun & sockets, special bits for your car, magnet, flash lights/head lamp/stick light, channel locks, stubby sockets, various wrenches, extensions, breaker bar, bits, allen wrenches, vice grips, pry bars, adapters, pliers, cutters, etc that would be good to put on your list if you don't have them in your kit.
Happy holidays!
If you want something flexible I really think that the Liquid Electrical Tape is your only option. I've used it for my motorcycle wiring in one place and it's held up decently. Just make sure you use some good cleaner like rubbing alcohol before applying it and use multiple coats of the stuff. ONE COAT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. Trust me on that one.
My concern is that the wires are so tiny you will stiffen them if you use anything at all. Even the liquid tape. If you have a habit of rolling your earbuds around something for storage the liquid tape might start to shred off as well. That would be my first recommendation though or the Plasti Dip stuff.
Alternatively, I'd consider this, but I'm concerned you won't be able to roll it up small enough around the wire. Read the reviews on this stuff. It's freaking magical. :) http://www.amazon.com/F4-Tape-Self-fusing-Silicone-Oxide/dp/B001HETINI
I actually used this on a part that was leaking oil on my motorcycle and it has not leaked since. It bonds to itself when you remove the plastic sheet. Even if it doesn't work you would likely find a million other household uses for it.
