Running Out of Holiday Gift Ideas? Why Not Give Self-Defense Products

There are people who like pretty gifts and there are people who prefer functional ones.  And of course, there are people who might not give a functional gift much thought but would actually need one.  For the coming holidays and for other special occasions, why not give the gift of protection to someone you care about? It may not be something they’ll find very appealing at first but it will sure come in handy if they need to protect themselves. Want terrific functional holiday gift ideas?

Here are 4 self-defense products you can give:

Stun guns
A stun gun is an excellent self-defense product and a very useful holiday gift idea.  It’s handy, lightweight and easy to use.  It can be carried easily in a purse or pocket or in the case of mini stun-guns, made to look like a harmless cell phone.

Stun guns are very effective for direct contact attacks. Once it touches the body of an attacker, it sends out enough electricity to shock and temporarily incapacitate, giving the user enough opportunity to fight back, or if he so chooses, run away.

Pepper sprays
Pepper spray can be very effective in stopping or preventing an attack.  A short 3-second burst could send out enough sting to temporarily incapacitate an attacker for at least 10 seconds.  It’s easy to carry and use and is traditionally sold in small canisters.  It can also be made to look like an ordinary object such as a lipstick case.  This self-defense product is excellent as a holiday gift especially for women, teens, seniors and those with physical disabilities.

Diversion safes
Burglars are after one thing – your valuables.  These include cash, jewelry, family heirlooms and other valuables.  A very functional but out-of-the way self-defense product is the diversion safe.

It’s actually a safe that is built to look like an ordinary, everyday object.  Designs include a functioning wall clock, a book, a flower pot or even a bottle of cleanser.  Valuables can be kept safely inside to prevent any criminal from taking an interest.  If they see nothing worth stealing, they’re less likely to try to attack.

Home security system
For high-end holiday gifts, why not the latest in home security systems?  A whole system usually includes security cameras, a CCTV monitor and sensors.  Most packages come with recording devices for documentation purposes.  A home security system is the perfect holiday gift idea for newly weds, a son or daughter renting their first apartment or a couple who’s recently bought their own home.  It may be expensive but the cost is really nothing if you think about the lives it can protect and help save.
