It's time for our annual preparedness gift guide!
Not sure what to give your friends and loved ones for Christmas? Well, you've come to the right place! Each year we post a gift guide to give you some great ideas for gifts to give the people you love. I'll admit, it may not be that fun to give or receive food storage or preparedness items for Christmas, but I truly can't think of anything more realistic to spend money on. Plus, giving someone the gift of preparedness is really a thoughtful gift, if you ask me!
Not sure what to ask for for Christmas? Consider adding some of these items to your wish list!
*Note: these prices listed below are based on quick online research. Shopping around or buying used will help you find the best deal on any of these items. Also, some products are listed under two price brackets because they may be different sizes or of a different quality.

I got a crank flashlight one Christmas from my parents and it has been a great help when ever the electricity goes out. I highly recommend giving them as gifts.
Here is my idea!
why not get the gift of self-reliance for FREE? Learning how to stand on your own feet is an almost forgotten art.
If the thought of getting out of debt, cooking nutritious meals from scratch, losing weight, grow your food, manage your Christmas shopping and make your own toiletries sounded too overwhelming, now this quick and easy start up guide will get you going in no time at all. Or it might help you daughter in law….your best friend and so on.
It's called "Back to basics: how to make it through hard times."
