Gift keychain MT for a future nurse

I gotta admit that I'm stuck on a Vic Classic. But I got no idea what she might need, just know it has to be small and light.

Also I noticed an affinity for my alox Farmer, but it's too big and too heavy, so a Cadet is already on a particular list.

Only thing I can add is that a nail file might be a nice addition if it's usable

Vic Classic Sd is a good choice. I know a few nurses and they carry Classics. My wife used one when she was a nurse. Everything else a nurse needs is pretty specialized and supplied by the hospital or nursing homes.

I just remembered, something else that make a good gift for a nurse is a nice pen. They do a smurf ton of writing and charting.

And a nice analogue watch to wear upside down on their uniform. Very sexy!

A Victorinox Swisslite (torch) or Signature (pen)

or, a bit thicker, a manager lite, with pen and torch too

thanks for the input y'all. the manager lite might be the ticket. can the batteries be changed on it?

I'd pick a manager for a Vic. My wife is a nurse and I gave here an upside down watch thing too and she really likes it.

My job is very similar to a nurse,i carry a lm juice s2 but did carry a explorer as well the micra or squirt s4 ,torch i carry is a led lensor p3 but a maglite solitare is less alarming

i also carry serrated scissors as good for bandages.

Yes. And it's a pretty easy task.

Just make sure you get the one with the white LED instead of the red one.

Yeah. For a nurse, I could see the Midnite Manager being pretty awesome.

I'm always in favor of a Midnite Manager, about everything you'll need in a work environment.
Nice torch, lovely pen, and of course the Ramblers tool set.

You really can't go wrong... Unless you want them to have more then enough than in that case a Midnite Minichamp would fit the bill.
People think "O, that's too big!" Then you get a look at their keys and notice it's a collection of metal about the size of a fist. With more splitrings than keys, and a huge novelty keychain with no purpose at all.

A M. Minichamp is literally smaller than a chapstick. Just making the argument... For no reason at all. I'm super bored. Super duper bored.

I'm still completely aboard the Midnite Manger train TBH. Don't need more than that. It's what I carried for nearly 2 years and didn't find my self in need of anything else.
