Give your college-bound son or daughter a going-away gift basket of fire safety tools. Include a flashlight, smoke alarm, first-aid kit, carbon monoxide detector, a grid for drawing up a fire-escape plan, and extra batteries - total cost, about $100. A three-story folding ladder costs another $150.
Hi, I think this is a great gift. Sometimes the things we need the most are for our safety whether or not they are really appreciated when received. I've received gifts similar to this in the past and although I may not have appreciated them at the time (I was too young to know better I guess) when they were needed, I was very happy to have received them.
No offense, but if I received this gift, I'd be quite disappointed at first. Then, when I saw the grid to make a map of my escape, my embarassment would change to incredulousness, wondering how such an item was mistaken for a good gift. Just one person's opinion.
