A young woman I have worked under and become close to (misery loves company etc...) is going back to college this Fall. She's been there and done that, but this is the first time a long way from home. Before she goes, I plan on giving her some gifts: A Photon Micro Light and mini Swiss Army Knife for her keychain, and an Altoids tin with some first aid items, a lighter, - and urban PSK "lite" if you will. Hopefully she'll never have to use any of these in an emergency - but if she does maybe she'll think of me! (You know, being married to a pharmacist could have it's perks! <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

Also, a while back I found a nice little "auto emergency kit" at Wal Mart and bought it for my cousin. I knew it would be an awkward situation, a gift out of the blue, but I feel better knowing she has it with her.

Anyone else like to pass on your urge to be prepared, with gifts, skills, etc?
