It is high time to tell Santa what we all want underneath the Christmas tree this year. These are some of the best everyday carry items for guys out there on the market today. Each of these EDC accessories has been hand-selected to improve your daily life from sun up to sundown. You can shop the full collection or pick out any of your favorites by following the links down below!

First up is The Lightwell Field Watch Mark III in White ($200) which is powered by Seiko’s solar-quartz movement with a solar panel. It takes just one minute of sunlight to power this watch for 24-hours and a fully-charged watch has a power reserve of 4 months. This is a stylish watch which can be worn every day but you can also dress it up or down depending on the occasion.

The Dr. Marten’s Maleke Men’s Twill Canvas Casual Boots are a STEAL for only $80. This is a perfect everyday boot that you can dress up or down with jeans or chinos. They feature a padded collar, grooved sides, Doc’s iconic visible stitching, and an air-cushioned sole. Don’t sleep on these!

The Faherty Sconset Striped Crew Sweater ($158) is made with a hint of cashmere to give you the softest feel around without having to spend cashmere prices. It has a relaxed fit that’s kept crisp over time thanks to sturdy ribbing at the hems, collar, and cuff so it looks just as great on day 75 of winter as it did during the first cold front. And unlike cashmere sweaters, this one’s completely machine washable so you won’t burn a fortune on dry cleaning.

You can pair that sweater with the Relwen Moleskin Chinos ($218) which come in Black, Charcoal, or Olive. Relwen’s softer-than-brushed Moleskin is perfect for the cooler weather this time of year. They have a seamless waistband for a dialed-in fit, knee darts + crotch gusset for comfort and mobility, and the black-oxidized hardware throughout is a classy touch on these tough and rugged pants.

Here we check out a unique everyday carry pocket knife from Deejo Knives ($70) which features a dope custom blade tattoo. These are some of the most customizable knives on the planet, they are super light, and ideal for everyday carry. They allow you to pick a unique ‘tattoo’ to make the knife your own as well as choosing the blade and handle features.

The all-new Flint and Tinder Leather Card Wallet ($50) is a stitched leather option with 4 card slots. The all-leather construction is designed to develop a gorgeous patina as it ages and the slim design is perfect for conserving pocket space

The Huckberry Beanie ($28) is a classic ‘Fisherman Style’ beanie and it’s available in 7 different colors for you to choose from. This beanie is made from a blend of acrylic, wool, nylon, and spandex. The finished product is a beanie you can wear every day for style and warmth but one you can push to the limits of hiking and traveling.

The OrbitKey Cactus Leather Key Organizer ($40) holds between 2 to 7 keys and is there to help you save pocket space in ways you didn’t think was possible. I was first turned onto OrbitKey a few years ago and have been a fan ever since.

We round it out today with the Jaybird Tarah Pro Headphones ($130) which are waterproof + sweatproof and ideal for working out. They have a 14-hour rechargeable battery which also makes them excellent headphones for your daily commute and travel. These provide world-class sound and you can workout as hard as you’d ever want to in them.

Last up we’ve got the Topo Designs Rover Pack – Heritage Canvas Series backpack ($159) which is perfect as an everyday backpack but can easily be used as a travel bag or weekender thanks to the ample amount of storage space. This bag’s made in Colorado and has a classic top flop closure + dual side-release clasps and top carry handle. The internal laptop sleeve fits 15″ laptops and there are countless pockets and EDC storage areas throughout.
