Best everyday carry gadgets for when you go back to work

It's coming. The time everyone is dreading—going back to work in the office. Sure, you might be over being quarantined or in lockdown conditions and want things to go back to normal. But that "normal" probably doesn't include going back to work. For many of us, the break has been stressful but also strangely ... nice? We don't have to tell you weird things are happening in our heads. You already know. When you prep to start commuting again, make sure you have the best everyday carry gadgets to make it easier.

Best everyday carry gadgets for when you go back to work
HygiCard Antimicrobial Card Tool in Golden Color

Here’s the thing. It’s the little things in life that make it better. It’s funny how you can spend a ton of money on that new espresso maker (which, to be fair, is amazing), but when you get something with a hidden compartment or something that allows you to charge your phone or watch anywhere, it’s a big deal. We’ve all spent some time laughing at ourselves over it. And many of us haven’t thought about the little things in life that make it easier to commute since we haven’t had to in a month or more. But that time is coming to an end, and normal business activities are starting to resume for a lot of people. You know what’s going to help you get back in the commute saddle? All of these best everyday carry gadgets.

You’ll be amazed at how functional these are and how easy they’ll make some of your daily chores. Because you’re not going to want to touch everything or use those community office coffee cups anymore. You’ll want a better solution. And we have it. We found a bunch of stuff you’re going to love and not want to live without. Since that’s what we do here at Gadget Flow—bring all the best new stuff.

HygiCard Antimicrobial Card Tool

Public. It’s full of germs and bacteria, and there are so many things we have to touch. But the HygiCard Antimicrobial Card Tool can eliminate all of those touchpoints. This EDC brass card allows you to open doors, use it as a stylus, and touch fewer surfaces. Your HygiCard is smaller than a credit card, so it fits in your wallet. Or you can attach it to your keychain to eliminate having to get your wallet out. This brass card features everything you’ll need: a push zone, a pull hook, a touch stylus, a keyring hole, and a bottle opener. You won’t want to leave the house without one.

Hitch Water Bottle with Hidden Reusable Cup

When you want to carry both vessels at once, you can lock the cup on top of the bottle for easy one-handed carry. Both vacuum insulated, the bottle and cup offer premium heat and cold retention.

Gone are the days of misplacing your wallet when you have the Chipolo Card Thin Wallet Tracker. The creators of the sought-after tracking chip are back with more convenience than ever. The Chipolo Card looks, well, like a card. And it measures just 2.15mm thick, about three times the thickness of a credit card. However, this card carries with it a special purpose. Inside is technology to let you know the whereabouts of your wallet. Using the app, you simply tap a button to emit a 95dB alert. Or, you can use the Chipolo Card to find your phone.


Big Idea Design Ti EDC Wrench One-Handed Tool

There’s no task you can’t handle when you have the Big Idea Design Ti EDC Wrench One-Handed Tool in your pocket. That’s because this is more than a simple multitool—it’s an adjustable wrench. In fact, this handy tool offers 25 different wrench sizes that you can alternate between. So it’s basically ready to help you tighten or loosen pretty much anything. And because it works with just one hand, you won’t need to drop whatever you’re carrying to use it.
