Since Halloween has come and gone, I figured it would be safe to bring up the subject of holiday gifts. I was just wondering what everyone was asking for this year. I'm trying to come up with some good ideas for my husband and I'm rather stuck. So I was hoping that some of the survival guys here would share what they would like to get or suggest some ideas.

I have been thinking about this for sometime. I don't like going in for all the commercialism of Christmas, So I am designing "Time Capsules" for family as a way to promote posterity....and to leave something for future generations to let them know we were here in case something truly apocalyptic were to occur.

a Leatherman Wave is always a great gift for a guy. Also, one of those hand crank radio/flashlight/cellphone chargers would be a nice gift too.

I came across this list of "10 Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Survivalists":

Thought it might give everyone some ideas.

Thanks for the link!

Dang! That's one expensive stocking if you add all those items up...lol

It really depends on the kind of person we are talking about. Personally, I always struggle to find a decent gift to men with more than 40 years like my father or grandfather, sometimes it seems they don't really care about anything. I used to give them small souvenirs, like mugs or ashtrays, but they barely give attention to that kind of stuff.

Only recently I found a solution. If you have the same problem, just offer them food and/or drinks they really like but can't eat/drink all the time, for some reason. Now I always give them cheese, bottles of wine, traditional cakes, etc... at least it's guaranteed they like it, lol

Cheers
