Those who don't identify as a fella also welcome to answer!

I'm getting tired of my wallet and I'm hoping to get some new ideas. Current EDC is my phone, wallet, and keys on a lanyard. Whatchu got?

Edit: I ought to be a little more specific with my EDC, since most people are kindly taking the time to do so.

Phone: Pixel 8 Pro Wallet: bulky leather wallet, I don't even remember the brand, I've had it so long. Keys: a stylized lanyard with various house keys, car key fob, and a keychain that reads "I hope your day is as good as my butt" from my wife. I have to keep that, you understand.

Misc: Burt's Bees chapstick, Listerine breath strips, and occasionally a utility knife depending on my destination.

Quite a lot tbh.

Water bottle to stay hydrated
Nail clippers because if I don't carry them I pick my hangnails and my fingers would be perpetually bleeding lol
Lip balm cause I get dry lips
Moisturiser cause I get dry hands
Tissues
A multi-tool
USB-C charger
Wallet
Keys
Antibac wipes
Hand sanitiser too lol
Watch
Lighter

Obviously it's a long list but these are small objects so it's not really a lot when you're carrying a bag.

I usually don't carry a phone or anything like that if I don't need it where I'm going; normally I can avoid it. But if I need a phone, laptop, etc where I'm going then I'll have that on me too.

I'm not trying to be a dick (it just comes naturally), but I wonder if there's a connection between antibac wipes, sanitiser and the need for moisturiser...

Keep on being awesome and bug free, but that stuff is really hard on your skin.

I don't use the wipes on my hands and I usually don't use the sanitiser, it's just if I can't get soap and water and need to clean my hands. I've still needed moisturiser when I've not used sanitiser anyway.

In any case, the moisturiser fixes the problem, so I don't see any downside tbh

I also bring cuticle nippers to work. I hate that moment when I realize that I'm going to be screwing with a hangnail for the next 7 hours.
