Emergency preparedness gifts are no longer niche—they’re in high demand.

With more than 100 billion dollars in weather-related disasters over the last five years, plus the pandemic and civil unrest, being prepared has gone mainstream.

The global market for survival tools is projected to hit over two billion dollars by the year 2030, growing seven percent annually.

Whether your loved ones are already seasoned survivalists or just getting started on their journey, this holiday season is the perfect time to gift preparedness.

Check out this year's hottest emergency preparedness gifts, essentials for no matter what comes our way.

1. 1-Week Food Supply Ammo Can

Whether you want to make sure your loved one has enough food and calories to survive a week-long blackout or you simply want to introduce them to survival food, you can’t go wrong with the 1-Week Food Supply Ammo Can.

It has enough food to feed one person more than 2,000 calories a day for one week. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The unique food packaging and sturdy ammo can make it ideal for long-term storage, up to 25 years.

2. Alexapure Pro Water Filtration System

Americans are too dependent on municipal water supplies.

All it takes is one major natural disaster to cut off access to clean water. Look at the recent Hurricane Helene, for example. It shut down water access for weeks in different towns across Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas.

Over a month later, many people still do not have access to clean water.

Keep in mind that many places throughout the United States have water that is already unsafe to drink. Not to mention that there has been an enormous rise in cyberattacks on water treatment plants.

All this is to say that every American home should have a quality water filtration system.

The Alexapure Pro Water Filtration System reduces more than 200 contaminants commonly found in drinking water. It is one of the most life-giving gifts you can give this holiday season.

3. Wireless Solar PowerBank

No one wants to find themselves in a dangerous situation with a cell phone, but no power. They can’t call for help or access GPS.

The Wireless Solar PowerBank solves this problem.

This solar-powered charger eliminates the need for a traditional plug-in charger. It's packed with the power capacity of a small car!

With 20,000 mAh of power, it can charge your devices quickly and provide emergency light so you can find help when you need it.

Take it camping, out to the ball field, at the beach, or as a standby in your backpack. It's waterproof, so don't fret about spilling a little liquid on it!

4. Pocket Plasma Lighter with Flashlight

Everyone needs a sturdy, dependable lighter.

The Pocket Plasma Lighter with Flashlight is the best choice for everyone on your gift list.

This lighter uses a single-arc plasma light that can be recharged over 200 times. Most importantly, this durable lighter is windproof, waterproof, and winter-proof.

In addition, the lighter has a built-in flashlight with three operating modes.

If your loved one needs light while they light their fire, this lighter won’t let them down. Its small size makes it a great stocking stuffer!

5. Canned Heat+ & Cooking Fuel

One emergency preparedness item that many people overlook is canned heat.

In an emergency, this Canned Heat+ & Cooking Fuel allows you to cook indoors because it burns clean without toxic smoke or fumes.

It is designed to burn for several hours—approximately six hours—and lasts in storage indefinitely!

This is a great option for stocking stuffers. Small and affordable!

6. 4-in-1 Emergency Solar Flashlight & Weather Radio

An all-in-one weather radio, such as the 4-in-1 Emergency Solar Flashlight & Weather Radio, makes a great gift.

This is a weather radio, but amped up. It has everything your loved one will need to stay informed and prepared in an emergency where information may not travel as easily.

In addition to providing a way to find out what's happening in the outside world, it has many necessary survival items like an LED flashlight, LED room light, and a cell phone and USB device charger.

This radio will allow the owner to stay connected to what's going on beyond where they are, no matter what is happening.

While you definitely want it for an emergency, it is also great to have it on hand for camping, hiking, or RV trips.

7. Aquamira RIG 700 Tactical Hydration Pack

If you want to give your loved one a top-of-the-line bug-out bag, look no further than the Aquamira RIG 700 Tactical Hydration Pack.

Not only is this a sturdy bag for carrying emergency gear, but it's also a hydration pack with a built-in water filtration system.

In addition to the inner storage, there are multiple storage pockets as well as the MOLLE webbing system.

The bonus factor is the two-liter pressurized reservoir with quick-release valves, a pressured stream, and an IAPMO-certified, bacteria-grade Aquamira filter.

This is the ideal pack for outdoor excursions and emergencies!

8. Survival Folding Shovel

Small enough to fit into a backpack, this collapsible survival shovel is an excellent gift for everyone!

It is made of solid steel and measures over three feet long when extended, making it significantly stronger than other shovels.

Whether they need to dig a hole, pry open a door, or complete a DIY survival project, this is the shovel they will be happy to own.

Give your loved ones a gift that keeps on giving, friends.
