The gift that keeps on giving

As Mother's and Father's Days are coming up soon, I began thinking about the most appropriate type of gift to give in a time of fast-declining energy and quickly-rising costs.

What could be better than a cute little Peak Oil Prep basket to start them off right?

Here, I've come up with several ideas for gifts, from the "Copper" to the "Platinum", with a nod towards our future monetary system ;).

Copper

• One Peak Oil book or DVD of choice
• One 7 gallon water container
• One Crisis Preparedness book
• One herb or cherry tomato plant
• One large bag rice, beans, oats, peanut butter, and raisins

Silver

• All of the above, PLUS
• Solar lamp
• 3 silver coins
• One gardening book of choice
• First Aid Kit

Gold

• All of the above, PLUS
• Cooking with Sunshine book
• Solar Cooker (Global Sun Oven or otherwise)
• Katadyn or Big Berkey water filter

Platinum

• All of the above, PLUS
• One permaculture or PO investing book
• Gardening tool kit
• Clothesline system
• Sleeping bag rated for their zone
• Bike

Now, don't you wish someone would give YOU such a nice gift?
