While major gifts for your average survivalist are easy to identify, it's less easy to pick out smaller gifts that they will use whether camping or in the midst of a survival crisis.

This list includes practical items that are inexpensive but possess optimum quality while not costing you all that much for a durable, effective present.

Light My Fire Swedish FireKnife

This is a great knife and is my personal favorite belt-knife. It’s sharp, tough, light-weight and has it’s one FireSteal system that rides securely in the handle until needed. At under $30 this knife can not be beat.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter

This is another one of those must have items for the bug out bag, and anyone with any interest in hiking, hunting or the outdoors would love to find this filter in their Christmas stocking.
Coast HP1 Focusing LED Flashlight

This is a great little light and at less than ten dollars it’s hard to find a better stocking stuffer for the price. After all everyone needs a flashlight. Everyone!

Swiss+Tech Micro-Max 19-in-1 Key Ring Multi-Function Pocket Tool

This is one of the most compact multi-tools that I know of that is actually well-made and usable. Most of these types of tools are junk but not this one. A gift anyone would be pleased to pull out of their Christmas stocking.

Gift giving for your average survivalist is very easy – no matter the item, if they are preparing for a SHTF moment or survival situation, they can always use more of it.

Smaller gifts, however, are a little trickier in that you want something practical but do not want to pay and arm and a leg for it.
