When it comes to giving gifts during the holiday season, no matter who the recipient is, it’s ideal that the person would plan to use the gift you decide to give.

One way to ensure that your gift gets used and appreciated is to do your research and land on a purchase that the individual in question is sure to use (preferably use a lot). Another way to ensure your gift gets used and appreciated is to give that proverbial gift that keeps on giving. 

Emergency preparation is something we all should be doing, but many of us do not get into action until the emergency is upon us. This year, you can help ensure that your friends and loved ones are properly prepared for outages, emergencies, and even natural disasters. 

Below, Geneverse goes over a few gifts that keep on giving.

1.) Geneverse HomePower ONE

The Geneverse HomePower ONE is a useful tool that can supply up to seven days of reliable power, depending on which devices need to be charged. Our lightweight solar generator can be used during an emergency situation as well as any off-the-grid activities, such as lake days, camping, tailgating events, and more.

HomePower ONE is easy to use and only takes about half a minute to set up. You can charge via 2 USB-C outputs with PD 18W, 1 USB-A with 5V/2.4A, 1 USB-A with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, as well as 1 car outlet with 12V/10A.

2.) Emergency Kits

One of the primary pieces of advice we give to our customers during emergencies is to have an emergency kit at the ready just in case. Many households keep emergency kits in specific places where everyone in the house knows their location.

If you know someone who might be a bit of a procrastinator, you can put together an emergency kit for them and give it as a gift this holiday season.

If you decide to create an emergency kit for a friend or loved one, there are a few avenues to consider. Yes, you can piece together an emergency kit item by item, but there are also companies and brands that supply curated emergency kits designed for specific locations, situations, and needs. 

JUDY is a great resource for emergency kits – they provide tools, supplies, non-perishable food, water, and first aid essentials. JUDY also provides instructional materials such as plans and guides.

3.) Personal Water Filter

During any emergency, it’s crucial to procure or locate a source of clean water as quickly as possible. Organizations like LifeStraw specialize in crafting water filters for entire families and individuals flying solo. 

LifeStraw offers products like the Personal Filter Straw, which is ready to use out of the box and has the ability to protect users against unwanted parasites, bacteria, dirt, and even microplastics. LifeStraw products are independently lab-tested and BPA-free.

4.) Emergency Fire-Starter

Another primary concern during an emergency is finding a source of heat. During an outage or in off-the-grid scenarios, it’s tremendously useful to have some sort of fire starter, whether it’s a kit or an individual device.

Bushcraft Survival provides fire-starting kits that can be used in any weather conditions that will help users start a fire when needed immediately.

5.) Geneverse PRO Series

Our brand-new HP PRO Series solar generators offer faster recharging and up to 2419Wh capacity. Charge by AC in 1-2 hours or via your Geneverse solar panels in 3-4 hours.

Many solar generators on the market today take double-digit hours or even days to fully charge. Not Geneverse. Our Geneverse PRO Series can be charged 6x faster than our competitors.

There’s Never Been a Better Time to Own a Geneverse

We hope that some of these suggestions get your creative juices flowing. If you’re having trouble coming up with creative gift ideas, gifting tools for emergency preparation will suit any individual nicely.
