The Safety Girl Roadside Emergency Kit is something every woman should be carrying in the trunk of their car. It is an adorable little metal case full of all the things you may need in an emergency, roadside or otherwise. It includes band aids, tampons and a blanket as well as chocolate and deodorant. Here is a full list of what the kit contains:
· Space® Brand Emergency Blanket
· Safety Matches
· 5 Bandages
· 2 Antiseptic Wipes
· Instructions to Change a Flat Tire
· Instructions to Jump Start a Dead Battery
· Emergency Contact List
· Accident Record
· Safety Girl Pencil
· Purified Water
· Ghirardelli Squares Chocolate
· Zox Breath Freshener
· Lip Moisturizer
· Gilead Aromatherapy Headache Remedy
· Shout Instant Spot Remover Wipe
· Dove Anti-perspirant
· Speedy Clean Cleansing Wipes
· 2 Dittie tampons
· Emergency Sewing Repair Kit
· Professional Nail File
I would rather they had included a can of
Fix-A-Flat along with the tire changing instructions, but you could definitely purchase that on your own and stash it with the kit.
This kit would make an excellent gift for a best girlfriend, your mom or your sister (or for your wives, guys). In fact The Safety Girl website has a customer review from a guy that got the kit for his girlfriend, and put his contact info on the emergency contact sheet that's included, under the section "Someone who thinks I'm brilliant." He says that his girlfriend LOVED it.
There are other roadside emergency kits out there that are truly designed for serious roadside trouble. I found an
Urban Road Warrior Kit at
http://www.survival-supply.com/ that you might want to look into if you are heading to Reno in January, but it is not nearly as cute and has no chocolate.
The official Safety Girl website doesn't have any of the kits in stock, but Amazon (of course) has them
here for $29.99. I also urge all of you to pick up a can of Fix-A-Flat and jumper cables to keep in your car this winter. Those are two items that have really come in handy for me a few times.
Be safe everyone!
