What Can I Give As A Holiday Gift?

No matter who you’re shopping for, there’s a survival tool that will make the perfect gift. You might be thinking, “who wants a survival tool as a gift?” and we believe the answer to that is: everyone. The person you are gifting might not even know about survival tools, first aid kits, and survival kits. You could be introducing them to something which is of the utmost importance.

Being prepared for emergencies and natural disasters is the best thing you can do. Whether you live alone or have a large family, you should always be prepared. Being prepared does not just mean having a plan for when disaster strikes. You need a survival kit that contains essentials such as food, water, tools, a light source, clothing, and blankets.

For The Traveler And Adventurer

For anyone who loves to travel or enjoys adventure, survival tools will be especially important. Anyone who loves to camp, hike, or be outdoors in any capacity needs to have some sort of survival kit ready to go. This is what we suggest for the adventurer in your life:

A Personal and portable water filter:

In our opinion, this is one of the most important gifts you can give someone who loves the outdoors. Your body can survive without food for an astonishingly long period of time. A human can go 1-2 months without food. Of course, your body will start to shut down, and you will be extremely weak, but you won’t die. Without water, you will likely die within a matter of days. For a child, it could be even less time than that.

A 72-Hour Survival Food Kit:

While we can go for longer without food than water, food is still essential. It gives us energy and strength, which are both important factors when you are in survival mode. The 72-hour kit has the perfect amount of freeze-dried food for one person to survive three days. It contains breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is a very smart gift to give someone who is going into the wilderness because you never know what may happen.

For the Fitness Buff

We all have that person in our life who loves fitness and going to the gym. Give them a gift that will not only help them with their fitness goals but that they can also use in case of emergencies. It’s definitely a win-win!

Survival protein shakes:

These protein shakes pack a whopping 29 grams of protein into each shake. These are great for anyone trying to boost their protein intake for muscle growth and fat burning. You simply add water and give them a good mix, and they’re ready to go. They have a delicious chocolate taste that will make them seem like more of a treat than a protein shake. They have a 20-year shelf life, so it’s great to keep in your car for pre or post-workout; you’ll never have to worry about them expiring!

33oz insulated food storage container:

If they are into physical fitness, they are probably interested in meal prepping and cooking their own food. If this is the case, our food storage container is perfect for them. They can prepare a meal and store it in the fridge and just grab and go when they are ready to eat. Perfect for those who like to hit the gym early in the morning, they can prepare a healthy meal to enjoy before or after, such as oatmeal.

For the Coffee Lover

Most adults drink coffee. We know there’s at least one person in your life who can’t even start a conversation without a piping hot cup of joe in the morning. There are two things every caffeine lover needs: coffee and a cup to keep it extra hot.

Survival coffee kit:

You can’t be a coffee lover without the perfect ground coffee. So whether you’ve just had a stressful day or you’re in full-on crisis mode during an emergency, this coffee will get you through it all.

Travel tumbler:

This is the ultimate insulated cup for keeping coffee as hot as possible. For a long drive or an even longer day in the office, this tumbler will keep coffee fresh and hot.

For the Tech Lover

Whether it’s video games, computers, or electronics, you probably know someone who loves their gadgets. Get them something that’s both interesting and practical.

Solar Power Bank:

Every tech junkie needs this power cell. Never worry about your phone battery dying again with the solar-powered charger. Plus, it’s built tough: you can drop it all you want, but it won’t break, and it will remain protected. Simply put it in the sun, and it will have enough power to charge your phone.

Solar-powered flashlight:

Brighten up even the darkest of days with a solar-powered flashlight. No batteries and no hassle. Once it’s charged, it will shine bright for countless hours.
