FlareSafe Portable Smoke Alarm

If you like to travel to strange and exotic places and stay in questionable hotel rooms—and who doesn't?—you might want to take along one of these FlareSafe personal safety devices, which is a combo smoke detector, distress alarm and really bright LED flashlight.

Arm this baby before you go to sleep and at the first whiff of smoke it starts honking and screeching loud enough to wake the dead. It's been available in the UK and Europe for £42.51 ($83), and its British makers are now considering bringing it stateside as well.
