It’s just a few more short weeks until December and the holidays, which means we’re all in the home stretches of finding the perfect gifts for ourselves and for our loved ones. To help with the holiday hunt, we’ve teamed up with a lot of great brands this year to give you ideas for your holiday shopping list, and below we’ve put together 12 of our favorite products that would be excellent additions to any everyday carry.
SOG PowerAccess Deluxe
If they love practical gifts, it doesn’t get much more practical than a well-equipped multi-tool such as the PowerAccess Deluxe. With 21 tools, you can be sure that the DIYer on your list won’t be missing anything when they start their next project. They’ll get the usual suspects like needle-nose pliers, a plain edge blade and different kinds of screwdrivers along with heavier-duty newcomers like a wood saw, a serrated knife, and a jewelry driver. Unique to the PowerAccess Deluxe is its compound leverage system, which multiplies the user’s grip strength while using the pliers, reducing the amount of effort needed for a job well done. It comes in a sleek stealth black in high corrosion resistance 5Cr15Mov stainless steel, with a nylon sheath and 12-piece hex bit kit for an all-in-one DIY and EDC ensemble.
Dango MC01 Titanium Money Clip
If you know the person you’re shopping for still likes carrying cash, a money clip is a great gift idea. But don’t settle for any old money clip—give them something unique, multi-functional, and tough as nails. The Dango MC01 Titanium Money Clip checks all those boxes with its metal plate construction that clamps onto cash for a confident carry. Thanks to titanium’s unique ability to spring back into shape while resisting deformation, the MC01 Money Clip can easily secure folded bills, whether it’s a single note or a fat stack.
And if they need to carry even more, there’s an optional silicone band that can hold onto 30 additional folded bills as well as 10 cards. It’s available in Silver, Black and Gold so you can choose the one that best suits their style.
Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener

Aside from accessibility, the Precision Adjust Elite also offers a tremendous amount of flexibility, providing 7 different abrasive grits, including fine ceramic and a leather strop.
This, combined with adjustable angles from 15 to 30 degrees allows the user to sharpen each knife according to their specific use; from doing a quick touch-up, to correcting a factory mistake, to giving the knife a mirror-polish. If they’re a knife nut, they’re going to love this sharpener by Work Sharp.

Gerber Truss Multi Tool
Gerber’s full-sized Truss multi-tool is an all-inclusive force to be reckoned with in your toolbox, packing 17 functions into its blacked out frame. Its handles are cut from single pieces of steel, skeletonized to keep the overall weight down to 8.4 ounces. But within the lighter weight are heavy-hitting tools, including spring-loaded pliers and scissors, and an ensemble of blades, cutters, openers, and drivers.
There’s even functionality for specialized tasks like a ruler, awl, and file, and a lanyard hole for keeping it close when out of its nylon sheath. And the best part: save for the pliers, all its tools are accessible on the outside of the handles, and lockable to prevent mishaps during tougher tasks.
