Out of Character: It is on the expensive side, but I am thinking the best short and long term investment for either of the druids would be a Ring of the Beast if you can get it. (8,000 GP Complete Champion)
It greatly improves your usage of Summon Nature's Ally, which you won't be able to cast while Wild Shaped anyways. Basically all of your SNA spells below the max you can cast get upgraded by one step. Summon bears with 1st level spell slots. And when you hit fifth level, summon dire wolves with 2nd level spell slots, etc.
The ring is part of a set that would also be very useful for you guys, but the other items are notably more expensive.

Out of Character: Yea I saw that. I will ask the Dungeon Master if it is available as well.
Ildrahil is starting to integrate into the group and becoming his normal outgoing self. "I have a request of any who would listen. I can purchase boots that will allow me to sneak to our enemy's flanks and gain us an advantage. I can also purchase a bow that will aid me in striking our enemies from afar. Now, I know we have one such who strikes from a distance. Aye, I've been on the wrong side of her bow and it is a memory I'll not soon forget nor one I wish to repeat. But I ask, twouldn't two be better? To purchase both would require a rather sizable loan, and loan it be. I'd be paying you back at the first opportunity… which should be soon if recent history is an indication. Are any interested in forwarding me some gold?"
Krusten looks at the man with suspicion as she does with everyone and asks, "... And what kind of gold are we talking about little man?"
"1,800 gold pieces? Why don't you just kill me here and be done with it. I don't know anything about you in fact I have not even taken any liking to you as a fellow combatant and you want more gold than the salary of a warlord?" Krusten rolls her eyes and looks the other way.
Out of Character: Nothing personal, its just Krusten the character. *laugh*.
Bastion speaks up, "No need to be so dismissive Krusten, he killed a powerful enemy of ours, while unarmed, confused, and alone, only moments after that enemy had killed a companion of yours. A loan to make him all the more effective in our upcoming tasks is not an offensive request, at least not when several of us can afford to spare the amount in question."
"What would be the terms of this bargain? Are you willing to let the items in question stand as collateral?"
Krusten is amazed by the front of the next little man, "Well since you are so well informed you can give him the gold." She leaves to go speak with the merchants.
