A jar of anything you've canned, jam, chicken, etc.
A certificate to teach a preparedness skill you've learned. Making bread, making silver, canning chicken (this might be fun with a jar of canned chicken), etc. Skills & knowledge are invaluable!
A grouping of preparedness items from Dollar Tree

Anything you have extra you've gotten free or really cheap with coupons. Such as razors, toothpaste, bandaids, etc. Make a grouping, come up with a cute saying, or put it in a little box with some other preparedness info.
Start them a survival library! Print off blogs you think are good, the free Dr book I posted in October, things like that. Information they can save for when needed.
Keep an eye out all year for deals, & buy extra for people for Christmas. When I found hand crank flashlights for $2, I bought extras for gifts. Same with pocket knives, little lights, etc.
Download some preparedness radio & burn onto CD's for them to listen to.
