May not work for all preppers but for us who are beginning preppers:
1. Books on prepping. Their are so many I don't know where to begin. Maybe a gift card to Amazon so I can purchase the ones I want. There is also a Back to Basics autograph copy by James Talmage Stevens from his website. That looks like a good reference guide and is a lot about food storage from what I've read.
Along with prepping books I'd like some how to books. How to build a log cabin. How to garden. How to live on $10 a week. How to survive in the wilderness. How to make your own butter, bread, candles, canning etc.
Also magazines about these things would be good. And fiction books about the apocalypse or the world ending.
2. Wheat. Rice. MREs. Long term storage foods with a shelf life of 20 plus years. We have a lot of basic stuff to get us through and I'd sure like to get a couple of years worth stored up but I'd like the safety net of beyond that too.
3. Camping supplies. Warm sleeping bags, lanterns, flashlights, blankets, tents, rain coats, hiking boots, hand sanitizers, medical kit, etc. Great stuff for camping, for bugging out or with no electricity camping inside the home.
4. Barbecue grill, fire pit, camp stove (with fuel), cast iron pans and camping pots and pans and a wheat grinder.
5. Clothes. Here in the north country: winter boots, gloves, long johns, hats and a snow suit. Also extra t-shirts (if it ends I'll need a supply of these!), jeans and sneakers/hiking boots.
6. Water storage, water tablets and a water filtration system. A hand pump for the well.
7. Material to build a cabin: Two by Fours and 4 by 8 foot sheets of plywood, nails etc.
These are just a few of the things I can think of at the moment. If there is unlimited money I would go for solar panels, solar ovens, pressure canners, generators and a lot of big ticket items.
It's all on the list....
