Need a last minute gift idea for family or friends? Nothing could be more special than to say happy holidays by giving a gift of safety that just might save their life.

Here are some gift ideas:

• Smoke detectors and batteries.
• A quality fire extinguisher.
• A flashlight and batteries or light sticks.
• A first-aid kit.
• An automobile safety kit including jumper cables, flares, fix-a-flat, reflectors.
• A carbon monoxide detector.
• A mobile phone.
• A second floor escape ladder.
• An "Emergency kit"- energy bars, water, battery radio, flashlight/light sticks and a first-aid kit packed in a small travel bag.
• A kinetic flashlight that doesn’t need batteries.
• A weather alert radio.
• A radio that runs by cranking rather than batteries.
• A talking smoke detector if they have small children.
• A bicycle helmet.
• A GFCI extension cord.

Many of these items we don't think about until we NEED them or it's too late. Consider giving the gift of safety this holiday season.
