Holiday Gift Ideas from Ridge

With the holidays approaching, everyone is scrambling to find a thoughtful, unique gift for themselves or their loved ones. But don’t panic, we’re here to help! We’ve partnered with our friends at Ridge to help you find the perfect EDC accessory for the special someone in your life. Ridge’s experience building a pioneering and innovative minimalist wallet means they’ve got what it takes to craft a solid lineup of versatile tools that are useful for long after the cold months are done. From a wide selection of their signature wallet to everyday accessories to cover your bases, Ridge has the gift idea for you. As an added bonus, Ridge's Black Friday Sale has started and you can save 15% off sitewide with code EARLYACCESS.

The Ridge Essential Kit

If you or your giftee have never owned a Ridge wallet before, then the Essential Kit is a great place to start. The core of the kit is their flagship minimalist wallet, itself able to hold up to 12 cards via a unique combination of outer plates and an elastic band. It provides useful RFID-blocking security, along with cash-carrying versatility by way of a swappable band or clip mechanism. And while this is a starter kit for those new to the brand, Ridge spares no expense with their materials, offering three of their most popular plate designs for the kit: a checkered 3k Carbon Fiber style, an exclusive Forged Carbon pattern, and Gunmetal Aluminum for a sleek silver profile.

The Essential Kit also adds a carbon fiber bottle opener the size and width of a card so you can slip it right into the Ridge for always-ready bottle-opening functionality, as well as a leather keychain to bring all your pocket essentials together. Every Ridge wallet also comes with a lifetime warranty and free 45-day returns, so it’s a gift for life.


Our Favorite Ridge Wallets

With over a dozen options for design and materials, there’s a Ridge wallet for everyone, but their exotic models released in the past year became some of our instant favorites. The new Damascus and 18 Karat Gold versions lead the pack, and usher in an exotic new aesthetic for the wallet’s iconic design. The Damascus design features laser-engraved steel plates with patterns inspired by the forge-welding technique of modern Damascus steel, while the 18 Karat Gold comes with a signature gold-leaf printed box and a microfiber cloth to clean and help keep its sheen.

For those looking to pair their wallet with stealthy setups, there’s the Forged Carbon design that features an obsidian-like chiseled pattern, and the Topographic lays out the summit of Half Dome National Park, making it an outstanding gift for the outdoorsy person on your list. Last but not least, the Titanium-Burnt Ridge wallet is one of their best sellers for a reason, mixing the EDC favorite exotic material with a splash of eye-catching anodization.


Ridge Accessories

Wallets aren’t the only thoroughbreds in Ridge’s stable. They also make a wide range of accessories from bags to electronics, all in pursuit of making your EDC as useful as it can be. Three of our favorites include the iPhone 12 Card Case, which is a great way to consolidate both a case for the latest model and a space for your most essential cards. It’s a minimalist full-frame case made from oil-waxed full grain leather, and holds up to 2 cards to keep things slim.

Speaking of slim, coins and keys are the some of the most cumbersome items in any carry, so Ridge set out to design a sleeker solution with the Cavity Tray, a compact aluminum drawer that slides right into your Ridge wallet, and deep enough to hold a small combination of keys and coins. It’s a smart way to deal with minor pocket jangle, while integrating seamlessly with something you already carry.

Last but not least, Ridge’s Weatherproof Commuter is designed to address all three needs to give you a durable everyday bag. Starting with its exterior, the Weatherproof Commuter comes with a waterproof 600D nylon shell, giving it a matte and sleek appearance that gives it versatility both at work and at play. The exterior treatment also provides excellent environmental resistance should you run into inclement weather, paired with YKK Aquaguard zippers to keep the rain out. Its main compartment opens flat to access its 15L interior, where zip and mesh pockets provide organization for your gear, while a shock-resistant laptop compartment ensures the safety of your tech.
