Gift Idea- Slime Spair
Flat tires are good for nothing but we've happened upon an affordable gift idea that can bring piece of mind to the ATV/ UTV operator on your list:

I assume once you use up the slime you can still use the tire inflator? Otherwise, its a $40 can of tire slime. I guess you can buy another can of slime for $10 and reuse the inflator for that. I do like the idea of having a compact tire inflator but it seems that its only function is to pump the slime into the tire.

Greg- yes it is infinitely refillable. The difference between this unit and a regular bottle of Slime is that the compressor refills the tire as the Slime seals the puncture. Without the Slime refill, it still works as a very portable and lightweight 12v air compressor.

My experience with slime has been good for the first few years...then the slime fails and your tires start to leak all over the place. I used it many years back for punctures and as a preventative. However years down the road I started to see a watery green stuff start oozing from my tires and it was the old slime that turned into green water and bled out from my tires. They all had to be unmounted and cleaned out, the slime was just a bunch of water. For an emergency it works well, but do be prepared to take the tire off and clean it out later or down the road you will be in for a big surprise when your tires start going flat again.

I put it in my 30" Mudzillas about 2,500 miles ago, never had a leak, but I'm not sure that you could shoot a .45 thru the tread of one of those. I suspect if you get a small leak, at least it will be visible. Slime reminds me of the green "mucus" guy on the Mucenex commercials, haha.
