What's a good EDC gift under $50?

Under $50 the safe, well-loved picks are a pressurized pocket pen, a small USB-C rechargeable flashlight, a key organizer, or a scissors-first keychain multitool. They are useful the day they arrive, hard to get wrong on size, and read as thoughtful rather than generic. Our under-$50 gift guide ranks specific models by who they suit.
