Need a cool, useful, and inexpensive gift? How about some safety flares? Not only are those boring, but they're quite dangerous. They burn at 5,000 degrees F and spew out all kinds of toxic fumes. Not to mention they're one time use only.

How about some incredible lighting technology that's reusable and visible for miles. In today's "2.0" crazy parlance, it'd be called "Flare 2.0". The FlareAlert by The Keystone Group makes a great gift for anyone who drives (think your teehage daughter). It makes even better sense for those who are driving jalopies that are ready to break down at any moment. These things don't cost that much and even have handy dandy carrying cases. They run off of standard AA batteries and have a magnetic base. Heck, they'd be great for outdoorsy activities (think stranded hikers) as well. Pretty cool stuff.
