The Wallet Ninja is one of those products that sounds gimmicky until you actually use it. It's a flat, credit card sized multi-tool made from heat-treated steel that slides into any wallet and packs 18 different functions into a space no bigger than a bank card. You get a bottle opener, six screwdriver heads, a can opener, a fruit peeler, a ruler, a box opener, an eyeglass screwdriver, a phone stand, and a few more for good measure. It's TSA compliant because there's no blade, so you can travel with it, and the steel is tough enough to actually handle real tasks without bending or snapping. The blue ninja branding gives it a bit of personality too, which makes it feel more like a gift and less like something from a hardware store bargain bin. It's the perfect Kris Kringle pick for the bloke who likes to be prepared for anything, and at this price you could easily grab a few and sort out half your gift list in one go.
