Its funny how sometimes even things that normally come easy to you can suddenly become a challenge. I’ve been trying to write this post for over a week and I swear, it’s like I’m trying to grab a greased pig! Every time I start to work on it, I somehow find myself on something else.

My holiday shopping this year is exactly the same way! Every time I think I have a good idea for a gift, SQUIRREL! So, now that I have my to-do list full of squirrels under control, here is a list of Christmas holiday gift ideas, discounts, and coupon codes, many of them exclusive to Survival Mom readers. This list will help you stay on track for your Christmas and Hannukah shopping and they are with companies we know and trust.

Holiday gift ideas sure to please everyone!

Privacy Pop has a great product for anyone who needs a little privacy in their room. It’s a tent that goes under a mattress and covers an entire bed from twin to queen size. They even have a bug net version for warmer weather! Teens and college students especially appreciate the virtues of having their own Privacy Pop. Young kids can enjoy it as a fun tent, teens enjoy the privacy, and adults can enjoy their own quiet space!

SunJack solar charging devices are great for extreme preppers, college students, Scouts, outdoor enthusiasts, Soccer Moms (who do, after all, spend a lot of time outside, near soccer fields)…. They even have a cool Camplight with a USB bulb! But I have to admit the one I most want is the Sunjack Tablet so my phone and my husband’s can charge at the same time!

Earth Easy has tons of great ideas too. The SunBell Solar Lantern and Phone Charger, SunTurtle Solar Lamp, and Little Sun Solar Lamp are great gifts for just about anyone, including grandparents and students. The Scrubba Scrubba Old Version (S... Check Amazon for Pricing. Wash Bag is practically custom-made for preppers and campers of all age and skill levels. And if you are wondering what to get the prepper or outdoorsman who “has it all”, they probably don’t have a Road Shower! The Life Straw is a classic “prepper” gift, but something that any camper, hiker, or hunter will appreciate. The Earth Easy website has dozens of great gifts, and the family-owned company is one that we have worked with for several years.

Are you a gardener or do you have a gardener on your Christmas list? SeedsNOW has tons of great gardening gifts. Their garden-in-a-bag selection could be just the ticket for your favorite cook or apartment dweller since it doesn’t take up much space and includes a nice variety of cooking herbs, such as dill and oregano, as well as plants such as strawberries and tomatoes. With their $.99 seed packs, you can give the budding gardener in your life, or the experienced gardener looking for something new, a variety of choices to try without hurting your wallet.

The Survival Mom Store

Did you know the Survival Mom has a store? Well, she does! There is a “Gift” category with “For the Beginning Prepper” and “For the Extreme Prepper”, but those aren’t the only places to look for great gift ideas!

Are you shopping for a cook? Cooking and Books –> Cookbooks are both great places to browse. Got kids? Pick anything in the kids category! How about Scouts? There are so very many gifts for a Scout in all the categories, but especially in Outdoors, Healthcare, and Water Filtration!

Looking for entertainment? There is a selection of dystopian and family movies and TV shows. And of course, there are tons of books!

So, whatever holiday(s) your family celebrates this month, hopefully these Christmas shopping tips have helped make your shopping just a little less stressful.
