Self Defense/Prep Item for $25?

I got a $25 Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket from Christmas and don't want to buy paper towels or laundry detergent with it.

Just browsing around for something fun I came across Tactical Pens. I always kinda chuckled at these, but for about $20 having a good steel or aluminum dagger in my breast pocket all day seems like a fun purchase. Almost ordered it, but then though you geniuses or maybe even an expert might have a better idea to burn $25 on (plus, it's a slow GD day).

I'm looking for ideas for a self defense/prep item for $25 or less. Ideas?

A tactical pen is pretty cool. I had no idea Amazon had so many options for stunguns and pepper sprays, all under $25.

Genuine US military issue fire starter. You need a knife to make it work. Scrape the soft side for shavings of Mg, then spark it with the flint side.

One of my friends gave me a tactical spork for Christmas...

You can never have enough of those.

HBAR, those sound like excellent gifts!

I give these as gifts, usually a big hit. I like the one I have.

Can't go wrong with a Mora either.

Water filtration is a must have.
