Fanny packs to replace wallets and purses. Purses are beacons to criminals. The bad guys understand what we carry in our purses and wallets and they are usually easy to get away from us. A fanny pack is a safer way to carry what we need. A coat can be worn over the pack and make you even less of a target.
Cellular phones are so convenient and can turn out to be a lifesaver when it comes to emergencies.
If a loved one is stranded on the road, especially with winter approaching quickly, it is so much safer to call for help yourself instead of relying on the kindness of others. This is especially important for those people with small children or those that drive alone frequently. Remember that cell phones often route calls to the State Patrol when you dial 911. You will have to asked to be transferred to the local police in some cases. Another wonderful gift for the whole family is a garage door opener, if you don t already have one.
