I love the question. While it is always safe to unplug, I have physical trouble getting under the desk, and sewing tables.
DH searched online and stores and found some higher jewel rates surge protectors that guarantee your equiptment is safe.. Mind you like our equiptment, they do not come cheap! If I remember right they ran about $35.00, if you are on a tighter budget like I was at that time I'd rather get one of those for a gift than a gift card.
Peace of mind
