Small extinguishers fit in a shoe box. I usually get large cardboard boxes from the dollar store or supermarket when they are unpacking inventory and stocking shelves. Those boxes are free!
candy47, What do you recommend for packaging the extinguisher and the pack so it's not so obvious what they are?
Good point blackspanielgallery. I will mention that in my next edit of the article. Thanks!
I believe some insurance companies may offer a rate reduction if certain objects are in the home, and this may be one of them.
That's me sheilamarie, I always like to give, and get, practical gifts!
I wouldn't have thought of a fire extinguisher as a gift, but you are right. Such a practical idea!
Neat idea! I like the little Firegone spray cans, too. Those look really handy, though the standard extinguishers would provide more of a feeling of real preparedness.
Everyone needs to have fire extinguishers handy. They do make good, practical gifts.
Well , it never occurred to me, fire extinguishers can be gifted too. Unique gift idea, love it.
