My family often had a hard time deciding what to get me for Christmas. But now I can ask for preparedness items. This is a great way to help you get prepared too, especially for those more expensive things you can't get with coupons. You could ask everyone to donate towards a solar oven or radio, give you gift certificates to food storage places, contribute to your 72 hour kit, things like that! It will be a great present because it will add to your peace of mind, & they'll probably be glad for the suggestion!
You could also join in with other family to buy bigger preparedness items together for someone. Give mom & dad a solar oven! Can them some food! Even if they aren't super excited at first (we all have relatives like that), the day will come when they'll be grateful for it! I did a bunch of #10 cans for my father a couple years ago. His wife wasn't real excited about it; she didn't like all the room it took up. Now she going down & looks at all that food they have, & is so grateful to have it.
