What’s the ultimate practical Christmas present for 2020? Why, it’s FloodSax alternative sandbags

They are more than stocking fillers for Christmas 2020 and perhaps not your main present but FloodSax sandless sandbags may well be the ‘gift that keeps on giving.’

For if they keep floodwater out of your home or business they will save you thousands of pounds in damage along with all the trauma, inconvenience and misery that entails.

They resemble large pillowcases and come vacuum-packed in handy-sized packs making them space-saving to store yet quick and easy to deploy for people in areas vulnerable to flooding. They’ll also fit neatly on Santa’s sleigh.

But when FloodSax come into contact with water they absorb 20 litres which transforms them from being as light as a pillowcase to being more effective than traditional sandbags in just three minutes. They can even be deployed by the elderly and people with mobility problems which is why they have been endorsed by the National Disabled Fire Association.

In short, FloodSax alternative sandbags fall spectacularly well into the Christmas gift genre marked ‘Practical’. They come in packs of 5 complete with easy-to-carry handle and there are 20 in a box which just one person can easily carry.

FloodSax are dual purpose as they are also ideal at soaking up leaks and spills in hard-to-reach places such as under dripping water pipes in homes and businesses.

FloodSax managing director Richard Bailey said: “There may be more exciting Christmas presents around, we’ll grant you that. But if the time comes when you need to deploy the FloodSax they’ll be worth their weight in gold, so to speak.”

Sales director Richard Nikolic added: “Floods are known as ‘the thief who takes everything’ with compensation claims after a house has been flooded typically 37 times greater than the average house burglary.”
