Looking for a different gift or know someone who has everything? Why not keep friends and family safe by buying a "Safety" gift. Here are some ideas which can be purchased at most high street stores:

 

A must have for every home. Smoke detectors sound a warning alarm if smoke is present or fire occurs.

 

Old or damaged electric blankets cause more than 5,000 fires a year.

 

Cordless kettles reduce the risk of young children reaching up and pulling hot water over them.

 

You are more likely to slip, trip or fall if you are wearing slippers that are loose or have no back.

 

A useful piece of equipment to have in the kitchen or caravan.

 

Another useful safety item to have in the home.

 

This will come in handy during power failures.

 

A useful kit to administer aid to an injured or sick person before professional medical care is available.

 

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible gas with no smell that is given off when there is not enough ventilation for fuels such as gas or coal to burn safely. Carbon monoxide kills 50 people each year in the U.K. The detector will sound a warning alarm if carbon monoxide is present.

 

Cordless phones are useful as you can leave the handsets in convenient places to stop you rushing to answer the phone. They are particularly useful to busy parents who are using the phone while attending to children.

 

Child safety equipment is essential for any family home; Stair gate, fireguard, cooker guards, door slam protectors, cupboard locks, video guards, corner cushions, plug socket covers all help prevent child accidents.

 

Bath mats are normally made from a non-slip rubber and help prevent slips in the bath.
