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.

I find it important to have some tools with me. Even if I'm really unlikely to use them, being a useful person who can fix stuff and solve problems is a major component of my self concept.

I also find the tools interesting in their own right. Lots of people like trinkets and gadgets, and there may be no explaining it to someone who doesn't immediately find that sort of thing appealing.

    The component of self concept, that's exactly it! For me it's not tools. But I love being the person who always has a band aid, a painkiller, a needle and thread, a tampon. You really don't need that stuff every day, but when you need it, you NEED it. And it's nice to get to be helpful like that.
