Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to get some food storage or preparedness gear for Christmas? You know it ends up under my tree in some form every year. Well this Christmas I’ve got a gift for you–The Food Storage 12 Days of Christmas! Pick a loved one or unsuspecting neighbor and treat them to a little preparedness this Christmas. I’ve got a listing of the items below with some suggestions for what you could give. I tried to make this adjustable for different budgets by not specifying an amount on anything so you can give a small amount or a bucket–your choice. And the tags coordinate perfectly with the Preparedness Gear 12 Days of Christmas as well. These two sets are designed to mix and match so you can do all food storage or all gear or some of each to fit your needs and your budget! I want these to be usable, so in the tags, I even left the day number blank so you can arrange them however you want. You can copy the images from this page and make them any size you want OR I have a printable PDF file here that has them ready to print 6 to a page! All because I love you and want to spread preparedness to all your friends this year!
