Give a years supply of salt with a year’s supply of popcorn and your favorite popcorn recipes.
Everyone can always use storage canisters. Give a canister or two filled with different kinds of pasta, rice or beans with some of your favorite recipes.
Honey is a great gift. Give any size container of honey with the recipe for honey taffy, honey popcorn or honey cookies; or include a jar of homemade honey butter.
Give a can of oats with a plate of homemade oatmeal cookies.
Give each member of the family their own emergency flashlight.
Give a jar of homemade jam or syrup and a bucket of wheat with your favorite bread or pancake recipe.
Give a cute Christmas towel with a year’s supply of hand soap or dishwashing liquid.
Homemade hot chocolate mix is the best! Include some mugs and the recipe for homemade marshmallows.
Warm gloves or mittens, scarves or stocking caps for each member of the family will be appreciated.
Candles and matches are a great gift. Lanterns and a bottle of lamp oil make an excellent preparedness gift.
Personalize the gifts you give to the likes and tastes of those you are giving to and any food storage gift will be appreciated. It may not seem like a very exciting gift to you, the giver, but to someone who is trying to prepare it just might be their favorite gift.
