Since they have everything, send them a fruitcake in a tin. Darn things last forever. When they need the fruitcake, they can open the tin, throw out the cake and use the tin for water storage, a shovel, a brazier, candle holder, a small game trap, ,hat,ammo storage, water cup, food storage, mixing bowl, etc.
And best of all, its less than 50 bucks so you can buy more than one.
Crank radio or crank lights...crank anything....
My parents bought all the kids a BeyGen crank radio/light combo back during Y2K - I still use mine all the time - it’s 13 years old!
(AM, FM, ShortWave...with a light-I don’t think they make BeyGen’s anymore but one like that is great - no batteries)
Great post/thread BUMP! Have multiple plans for multiple scenarios.
Ammo. The gift that keeps on giving.
Guns, knives, swords, and particularly ammo, will be the new currency. Even good quality spears.
Long storage food will probably be even more valuable.
Water, food, protection, and shelter.
Whats a prepper?
Are they somebody that the socialist groups want a number and location of in a database?
I seriously believe a real prepper respects OPSEC especially when the takers and their zombies get hungry, yeah even zombies would want food.
But if I were giving any gift it would be something to make them disapear from the internet or at least conceal their intentions because all I see lately is the communists gearing up to raid the preppers.
A list of stuff from “Selco” of Shtfschool.com (good site)

“Christmas is around corner and Jay and me got together to look for some good gift ideas for you. This Survivalist Gift Guide has some gifts for new preppers or non survivalists as well. Giving non survivalists box of lighters for Christmas might be a bit awkward so book is obviously better choice. We tried to balance what is useful and what is fun and also added some crazy gifts.
Many more expensive products in this guide are “survival luxury items”. Nice to have and will make heart of every survivalist jump, but not really necessary because cheaper item can get the job done as well. It all depends on who you give gift to.
A new prepper who has very limited budget will be more happy about $30 machete, $30 first aid kit, $50 ham radio than one high quality $110 solar charger. This is much different for seasoned prepper with bigger budget of course. Simply because of other priorities.
In the end survival is much more about skills than equipment but we all love having good tools to get things done and some toys to play around.”
If they don't reload, then a brick of 22 long rifle rounds. A brick (350-500 rds) will run about $21 to $30. The 22lr will be worth its weight in gold, if bad things happen. With 22lr, you can shoot it or use it for trade.
An “I <3 Obama” bumper sticker, so they can disguise themselves as zombies.
Those little heat packets they sell at Walmart and Target are great for keeping warm. They can go in pockets or under the hat. I park one in front of my face to pre-heat the air I breathe in at night.
Corn de-seeder or Grain grinder
