What's a girl to do when she's on the road and she:

a) is craving chocolate
b) breaks a nail
c) pops a button
d) gets a flat tire
e) all of the above

She breaks out her Safety Girl Roadside Emergency Kit! The girly lunchbox style kit is filled with 21 products for every little travel emergency (and some bigger ones). The kit contains serious safety supplies such as a Space Brand Emergency Blanket, safety matches, five bandages, water, and instructions for changing a flat tire and jump-starting a battery. There are other important emergency supplies: Ritter Sport Chocolate (which, happily, should be eaten immediately to avoid messy melting), Dove Anti-perspirant, Zox Breath Freshener, Speedy Clean Cleansing Wipes, and Balm of Gilead Lip Moisturizer.

This handy kit makes a great gift for bridesmaids, grads, and new car drivers, or the perfect bon voyage present for summer road trips. Comes in shades of pink (of course). $32 at Andaluz; also available at www.safetygirl.com.
