George Elwell, president of SilentCall, knows that wrapping paper can be scary. In fact, it's on his short list of common holiday hazards, along with such dangers as "misuse of extension cords, holiday candles and too many lights on a tree."
That's why he's created "One of the most effective life-saving alerts," a vibrator to be placed under a mattress that goes off when it receives a signal from a smoke or carbon monoxide detector.
"When we are sound asleep after a full day of shopping or a busy night entertaining we can benefit most from a bed vibrator system," says Elwell. "It is something we don't think about but should!"
Oh, we've thought about it. And we want one. We're going to leave candles burning all night next to our dry tree, piles of wrapping paper and misused extension cords. Send it to Hooksexup, New York, NY. Thanks, Mr. Elwell. And a happy holidays to you, too.
