I have a keychain with four or five mini crochet hooks.
I used to have a 1/4" nut that missed the threading process. I had it on my keychain to remind me that even if something is done millions of times without error, sometimes mistakes can happen.
Lost it when my backpack was stolen.
I love material defects. Nothing else will give you confidence like knowing that jerk owes you a nickle
Probably not super unique but a glass breaker/seatbelt cutter. If I’m in an accident or I come upon one, I want that ability with me.
Made a 5" aluminum baseball bat in high school shop class learning how to use a lathe. It’s been on my keys ever since. Thing is probably older than most folks reading this.

My daily carry bag always includes my Kindle, my cribbage board, and dog treats.
A pack of nicotine gum.
I don’t need or use it anymore, but I still carry it with me every day.
It’s a reminder of how addicted I was and how I swore to never smoke another cigarette in my life.perspective
I used to carry a universal TV remote control with me. It’s simply staggering how often it was useful.
An old silver pendant that used to be my mother’s. It has a simple yet iconic design, people often notice it and make comments on it.
A crow-calling whistle and a small tin of peanuts.
Presumably the peanuts to lure squirrels, and the whistle to sic your black-feathered demon army on them, you sicko
I’m indifferent to squirrels… but my city has hired a falconer to scare the crows away with hawks, so now the crows symbolize the oppressed masses being persecuted by the state.
Out there is someone with a hawk-whistle and a jar of raisins, I pray that you too shall never meet.
I doubt the falconer would have any issue with me—I’m helping to keep them employed.
Look, would you stop being reasonable for a second and just fight already?
That’s what I’m secretly training the crows for.
Give us back our crows!
What!? Why scare the crows away?
while Baz insists he has nothing against crows, it’s the mess they leave behind that has people crying foul.
Nah, I’d feel rather blessed to trudge through crow poo on the daily in my stompers. SF is brewing something terrible. The crows will have their retribution.
Leaving aside points about driving licence numbers being unique or whatever, it would be the silver pentagram that I made back in the '90s and have worn (or occasionally carry in my wallet etc, when the cord breaks) ever since.
My ex-wife got me an engraved Zippo I used to carry everywhere, now it’s mostly on my desk because I don’t want to lose it at work :/
Always wanted a zippo but I don’t smoke and the fuel evaporates so quick
I switched my petrol insert out for a single burner gas one, but there are a lot of inserts, even from zippo itself.

A metal red uno reverse card sits in my wallet. It was a gift from my girlfriend and an acknowledgement of our in joke of replying no u to compliments and I love yous.
Nothing anymore. But from age 18 to mid 30s I kept my busted up old guitar pick in my wallet.
It had seen way too many shows, and it was brittle as hell. It’s in a shoebox with since other memories now.
Less unique, I carried around phenergan pills in my pocket for about 10 years. I’d had an episode of an unknown something setting off a reaction with my throat closing up. Urgent care gave me the tablets when I left the hospital and I couldn’t not take them everywhere with me for a long time.
