Some gloves to wear when putting on the chains. Also something to kneel on and an old jacket to wear.

A snow shovel for the car!

Day-glo jackets for all passengers, keep them in the car with you.

A First Aid Kit is a good idea.

Earplugs for when the children and other passengers start whining "are we nearly there yet?"

But more sensibly a couple of torches, one to be a good headlamp torch.

Headlight converters
GB signs, unless using Euro number plates.

Should add..
Emergency food in case you get stuck.
Drinking water.
De-icer or good scraper.
Winter strength screen wash (you can get through LOADS on the motorways and may need to top up).
