Every year I bring you a list of some of the most popular and great gift ideas from the TspAz catalog. Here is what we have this year.
- The EDC RazorLite Knife from Outdoor Edge – I love these knives and carry either it or its bigger brother all the time. While I love my expensive customs for always having a scalpel on hand that you don’t mind roughing up a bit these are just awesome.
` - StreamLite Flashlights – While the ProTac Dual Fuel has become my favorite light, I also still love the MicroStream and have one in my EDC belt kit. I also still give away tons of the Stylus Pros to spread prepping and the USB Rechargeable one is great to. Pretty much you can’t go wrong with this brand.
` - Knipex Cobra Pliers – The absolute best channel lock style pliers I have ever found. German engineered, never slips, amazing tools. The smallest ones have become part of my EDC, the larger ones are one of my most valued hand tools. These are pricey but they are the absolute best.
` - Anker Soundcore Earbuds, Speakers and Head Phones – Anker is the best value electronics brand on the market. Whether it is the awesome Soundcore Speakers you can Pair, the best Earbuds for the money on the market or the amazing sound quality of the Q20 headphones, any music or podcast lover will love these.
` - Victorinox Meat Cutting Knives – Whether it is the 8 inch breaking knife or the 6 inch boning knife I have sold a ton of these this year and everyone loves them. Hey if you really like someone get them a set of both. These are the tool professional meat cutters use and they are very affordable.
` - Anker Fast Charger – This is so new i don’t even have a write up for it yet but it is going to be my go to stocking stuffer this year. This thing is super fast and not much more expensive than the shitty ones they sell at box stores. One thing I love is it is powerful enough to charge the new MacBooks, many USB chargers are not.
` - UTG Ranger Field Bag – This is one of the items I have been recommending the longest and I have no plans to stop. I found this in 2010 when I was traveling a lot for prepper conventions. It is rugged, cheap and HUGE. You could smuggle small adult humans in this thing.
` - Stainless Steel Insulated French Press by Secura – These just look beautiful and once you go French Press with coffee it is hard to turn back. Pair this up with a coffee grinder and some good whole bean coffee and any coffee lover will thank you. I gave one of these to my nephew while he was in law school one Christmas, he still says it is one of the best and most practical gifts he’s ever gotten and he still uses it daily.
` - The LizzQ Pellet Smoker Tube – Every person with a grill needs one. Even if you have a smoker these still have a place for everyday use. I make a ton of stuff with mine including my cold smoked and then sous vide for 24 hours briskets. Toss in say an assortment of pellets for extra points with this gift.
` - Nanch 22 Piece Precision Screwdriver Set – A great little tool set that will even fix your eyeglasses but has far more utility unlike the little pieces of junk they sell as eye glass screwdrivers. I find myself reaching for this kit a few times a month even though I actually bought it for my wife Dorothy.
` - Etek City 4 Pack of LED Lanterns – One of the single best deals you will ever find, they are even on sale at the time of this post. Give a set of 4 for only 20 bucks or give them as single units for one of the coolest 5 dollar stocking stuffers you will ever find, and batteries are included. Yes, really.
` - The American Boys Handy Book – Published in 1882 before safety police were everywhere it is a fascinating look back at what the world was like 140 years ago. Tons of cool stuff for kids to do, there is a girls version as well. The politically correct hate this book that is reason enough to give one to every kid you know. It is a lot of fun to read with kids too, find projects to do with them, etc.
` - The Herbal Medicine Makers Handbook – If you know someone who loves herbs and wants to learn more about their medicinal use this is the book. If I was personally limited to one book on herbs, this would be my choice. It is like a full course on home herbalism but very easy to follow and very approachable.
` - Thomas Jefferson’s Garden Book – Any gardener and fan of founding father Thomas Jefferson will love this amazing historical look at the time and life of Jefferson outside of the world of politics.
‘ - Instant Pot Sous Vide Circulator – I recommended the Anova for years but they just went stupid on price. I tested this one and now have been using it for over a year and it just works perfectly. Any foodie will love this and sous vide is easy to do and will change everything about your cooking.
Bonus this year – Some of these may not be great gifts but I thought I would just provide a list of the top 10 best selling items on TspAz this year. This is by total units sold not by total dollars in sales.
- Black Flag Fly Window Traps – told you some were crappy gifts.
- Cable Matters 6 Outlet Surge Protector – honestly I’d be happy if I was given one of these and I own 4 already
- Streamlight Microstream – it made both lists for a reason
- Galvanized Metal Raised Garden Beds – I literally sold these 100% out on Amazon currently unavailable. Some of the other sizes are really good too though.
- Soundcore Anker Life P2 True Wireless Earbuds – Another item that made both lists and once again for a very good reason.
- South Chicago Packing Wagyu Beef Tallow – It will change your life just a little bit if you start cooking with it.
- DEWALT 20V MAX XR Battery, 5 Ah, 2-Pack – We have a lot of fans of team Yellow and Black at TSPC. When these go on sale (like right now at 45% off) it makes sense to pick them up.
- Easy Fermenter Lids – These sold amazingly well, no complaints and they do make a good gift too.
- Zazzy Adjustable Rope Hangers – A great little item though possibly not the greatest gift unless it was asked for.
- Veggetti Spiral Vegetable Slicer – A super awesome kitchen tool that many foodies would love and cheap enough for stocking stuffer status.
