In the hands of a highly trained assassin, a pencil or pen can be a deadly weapon. But John Wick you are not. For now, a tactical pen is your best chance of looking as cool as the former hitman but without the piling body count.
A tactical pen is one of the best everyday carry gifts you can give your loved one for a few simple reasons. First, it has the advantage of looking like an ordinary pen but, in fact, it can be a weapon when needed. That gives you an advantage against a threat that thinks you’re harmless.

Otherwise, give them a tactical flashlight so they can light up dim places and protect themselves from threats.

StatGear Lite Hygiene Hand & Leather Case Bundle
One of the biggest lessons people can learn from the pandemic is that you can get sick just from touching stuff. Not that everyone didn’t know this at all but now people are more aware and more careful.
The Hygiene Hand is one tool that should be on everyone’s everyday carry collection. It keeps you from directly touching door handles, elevator buttons, and other similar high-traffic surfaces. It even functions as a stylus that you can use to digitally sign digital deliveries and such.
The tool is made of brass, which is an inherently antimicrobial material. It doesn’t kill viruses but it prevents you from directly touching a possibly contaminated surface. Plus, the virus will stay on the tool for a shorter period of time compared to other materials such as plastic, carton box, and stainless steel.
For the Hygiene Hand to be effective, separate it from the rest of your keys and avoid putting it in your pocket where it can touch other items. You should also disinfect your hand regularly even if you used the tool.
SLYDEX Kydex Minimalist EDC Wallet

It’s heavy and sitting on your wallet is bad for your pelvis.
The SLYDEX minimalist wallet weighs only an ounce and measures 2.25 x 3.5 x 0.5 inches. It’s so lightweight and slim that it won’t make much of a difference when inside your pocket. In fact, you can keep it in your front pocket without looking awkward as a bulky wallet would. Also, your valuables are safer and more accessible if you keep your wallet in your front pocket.
The EDC wallet is composed of a 0.8 Kydex frame and TPU elastic band that’s available in black and red versions. It has a push slot that lets you slip out the contents so you can get them easily. The angles corner, meanwhile, makes it easier to slide your cards back in. The EDC wallet can hold 1 up to 8 cards securely.
If you’re still not done with your Christmas shopping, we highly recommend giving away everyday carry gifts to keep your loved ones safe.
