Below, we’ve rounded up some of the coolest everyday carry items, grooming kits, and travel accessories to make your holiday shopping spree easier than it’s ever been before. Of course, you can always treat yourself with a purchase, too.

Timex Expedition North Field Post Solar 41mm Watch Courtesy Image 8. Timex Expedition North Field Post Solar 41mm Watch This Timex watch eliminates the need for battery changes—it utilizes a solar-powered movement that can last up to four months between charges. As you’d expect given its military roots, the Expedition North Field Post 41 is also built to be dependable: It features 100-meter water resistance, durable anti-reflective sapphire crystal over the dial, and glow-in-the-dark hand and dial markings for increased legibility in low-light conditions. [$159; timex.com] Get it
Takeya 40oz Originals Insulated Water Bottle Courtesy Image 9.

Don’t let the tiny size of this pry accessory fool you; it can do a lot. In addition to its prying function, the tip can double as a flathead screwdriver, and the design also includes a bottle opener and a quarter-inch bit driver for standard hex bits. Small grooves on the side help fingers keep a secure grip. [$13; 511tactical.com] Get it
El Guapo All the Bitters Pack Courtesy Image 12.
