RainyDayGiftGuide 2015: EveryDayCarry

Have fun shopping and Happy Holidays!!!

The Holiday Seasons is upon us, and once again readers have asked us for our gifts ideas.

Our selection criteria for all categories is the same every year: the items have to be things we have actually used or would actually want.

Everyday carry (EDC) is a concept we think started with Batman and James Bond; who wouldn’t want a crime-fighting utility belt or a collection of gadgets Q provided for James Bond to get himself out sticky situations? Below is our collection of EDC items for RainyDayMagazine readers, although they’re less for stopping super villains and more for normal utilitarian situations…
