I have to admit, I love this time of year. Not only because it is a perfect opportunity to score some prepping supplies for Christmas, or a great opportunity to get someone interested in preparedness, but the fact that we are able to celebrate holidays like these means everything is “so far so good”
While I’m not much for the stress and planning that leads up to the holidays it is a reminder of why we do what we do. The reason most of us prepare is to keep our family and loved ones safe, and while that in itself is a gift, sometimes people just need a gift or a thankyou that is meant only for them.
On a selfish note, any opportunity to stock up on a few extra supplies and not have to pay for it is a win win in my book, although it usually all come out of my bank account anyway…but that’s beside the point.
This is not a list of the typical prepping supplies like fire starters and flashlights. I tried to think about some unique gifts that preppers might not have, and even if they do, we preppers can never have too many of one item. 2 is 1 and 1 is none right?
SPP125 Prepper Gifts for Christmas
In the podcast (and video) Lisa talked about some DIY gift ideas for preppers and non preppers alike. In this article she wrote a while back “The Gift of Giving Preparedness” she has some great ideas.
EDC Jacket
I found these at ScotteVest.com and they have a wide variety of hoodies and jackets for men and women. The price can be a little high (between $70 and $300) but this is not your average jacket. They also sell some accessories that preppers like me would love.
Titan Paracord
I have done a review on Titan SurvivorCord in the past and this is a must have for any preppers bug out bag. Preppers love multi use items, and this 550 paracord includes fishing line, jute twine and copper wire. You can watch that video here.
Tactical Pens
These are not lifesaving survival tools, but they could be. One of the reasons I like these tactical pens so much is that it’s my pen! Pen’s easily get lost around the house because everyone uses them and rarely put them back where they got them, but I always know where my tactical pen is.
Hidden Gun Shelf
You have no doubt seen these here and there on the internet, I have even done a review on one of them here. These are great to have because the average person would have no idea what is hidden inside.
In the podcast we mentioned a friend of Survivalist Prepper that makes these and offers them for quite a bit cheaper than other online retailers. Here is his video and here is his Facebook page if you want ...
