25 Survival Gear Christmas Stocking Stuffers Under $15!

Okay, so maybe it’s a little early to start planning for the upcoming holiday season, but in our household, any excuse to browse through pages of survival gear is an excuse we’re not going to pass up!

If you’re looking for practical gifts to give this Christmas and are on a budget or are in need of some cheap stocking stuffers for the kids, you’re in the right place. We’ve spent hours looking for great survival-related presents for the upcoming holiday season, and we’ve come up with some pretty cool gear to show for it.

Just as a heads up, some of the products may be a little over $15 depending on if you see the regular price or if you see the same Amazon sale price as we do. That being said, they’re not going to be much more than a dollar or two above the 15. Take a look at what we’ve found and let us know in the comments if there are any other under-$15 survival products you’d recommend gifting. Without further ado…
