Give the Gift of EDC This Year: Holiday EDC Stocking Stuffers

Stockings aren’t just for candy canes. Slip in gear that earns its keep when the lights go out, or the trail gets rough. Holiday EDC Stocking Stuffers may be small and pocketable, but they can be game changers on a monumental scale. These pocket‑sized tools pack grit, utility, and a dash of holiday cheer!

Lochby Pocket or Stocking Journal 

Built for thinkers on the move, the Lochby Pocket Journal is more than a notebook cover — it’s a rugged waxed‑canvas vault for your ideas. Sized to fit two 3.5″ x 5.5″ pocket notebooks, it doubles as a passport wallet and keeps pens, cards, and notes zipped tight with a YKK closure. Inside, fountain‑pen‑friendly Tomoe River paper makes every line crisp.

Outside, water resistance shrugs off rain and grit. Slim enough for a back pocket, tough enough for field carry, this journal ensures your thoughts survive the elements when composing your ideal list of EDC Stocking Stuffers.

I usually have a Parker Pen, mini pocket strop, and Victorinox Bantam in the outer pockets. I set up the inside to store cash, business cards, and credit cards. In travel mode, the EDC and Field Journaling notebook fits a passport with room to spare.

At $49, it’s a compact investment in durability and daily creativity.

EDC Holiday Batwing 

The Batwing is a stealthy neck knife forged from CPM MagnaCut steel, designed by L.T. Wright for Woods Monkey. With a 1.38-inch sheepsfoot blade and skeletonized handle, it’s light, balanced, and wickedly sharp. The chisel grind bites clean, while the compact 3.8-inch overall length makes it disappear until needed.

A Kydex sheath and paracord fob keep it secure and accessible. Built for EDC minimalists, the Batwing thrives in tight spaces and quick‑cut scenarios. At $125, it’s a premium slice of American craftsmanship that feels more like an extension of your hand than a tool, making it a must-have in your loved one’s stocking.

Triangular Bandana/Cravat

This isn’t your average bandana. Recently seen on Shark Tank, I got to meet the man behind it all at the Georgia Bushcraft Fall Gathering. Dustin Titzman designed the Warrior Kid Medic as a multi‑tool in fabric form. Sized at 36.6 x 36.6 x 53.9 inches, it doubles as a sling, tourniquet, dust mask, or signaling flag.

Printed directly on the polyester are survival essentials: fire starting, navigation, knots, shelter, water purification, and priorities. Soft‑brush construction keeps it comfortable, while non‑running ink ensures the info stays legible in the field.

Lightweight, packable, and endlessly versatile, it’s a $14.00 lifesaver that earns its keep in any kit — proof that knowledge is gear.

Tactile EDC Knives

There’s always space for sharp, pokey, spicy things! The Redhawk is Tactile Knife Co.’s answer to the everyday fixed blade. At just under 7 inches overall, it balances slicing finesse with rugged strength. Its CPM MagnaCut reverse tanto blade (Sheepsfoot) offers a tall profile and an acute tip for precision, while the contoured Micarta handle locks into your grip. A leather or Kydex sheath keeps it classy or tactical, depending on carry.

Designed by Taylor Martin (Best Damn Everyday Carry), the Redhawk is purpose‑built for EDC — compact, versatile, and unapologetically sharp. MSRP runs $229, a fair price for a knife that bridges utility and style without compromise.

Merino Wool Socks for the Stocking

Feet matter most in the field, and Easy Wind Outfitters delivers with U.S.‑made merino wool socks. What’s more cozy than a welcoming, warm pair of comfy socks? I met Jennifer of Easy Wind Outfitters also at the Georgia Bushcraft event in November, and the obvious Colorado colors drew me in.

Moisture‑wicking, odor‑resistant, and temperature‑regulating, they keep you blister‑free from trailhead to summit. Cushioned or lightweight options hit the sweet spot for hiking, biking, or daily wear. Bold designs add personality without sacrificing performance. Merino’s natural fibers breathe in summer and insulate in winter, making these socks a four‑season essential. 

Lifetime guarantee included — because gear this good should last as long as your adventures. At $22–25, depending on style, they’re a small investment in comfort that pays off every mile, and a perfect fit for anyone’s Holiday EDC Stocking Stuffers.
