I will tag @mattfivefour so he can yank this if not allowed.
What do I use?
I do a lot of these and plan to order a couple hundred very soon. "Old" King James New Testaments my recipients are crazy about these. They also have an acceptable modern translation.
Christian book dot com had a very dangerous collection of evangelism Bibles and I can get into big, big, trouble. A couple I'm liking right now:
My cat killed my computer a while back it's phone only for me. I can't figure out how to put links from Christian book dot com on here, the banner ad for free shipping over $50 (
I ALWAYS get free shipping 
) blocks the thing I use to get links. Anyway you can go there and do a search for "NLT Children's Outreach Bible, softcover" they are $2.36 for a whole Bible. Recipients are going crazy for them, I handed out 10 last week it could have been more.
I also like to pair this with the kids Bible: "365 Read Aloud Bedtime Bible Stories". I have had some really scary recipients but universally they are all deeply concerned about their kid's spiritual welfare. They love to see that with a kid Bible. That is a whopping $1.65 you can't even get a candy bar for that!
I feel it's very important to introduce children to Jesus.
You can do a search for "Evangelism Bibles" they have a lot. I always do a good business in "Old" King James (recipients are crazy about them). I can cram more New Testaments in my handcart (disabled, don't drive) than whole Bibles but I like to have both. I also got a lot of Spanish New Testaments and whole Bibles on sale a while back and I always do at least 35 a Handout if I have them.
Bible Promise books are also very popular. They are on sale right now for less than a dollar. You can bet I got that!
There was a shooting not far from my house so I plan to go there before work and do a small Handout tomorrow before work.
Please pray for the logistics! My health and safety! Shipments in transit!

I tend to be reticent about sharing everything as I worry I'm blowing a trumpet (Matthew 6:2) but I have felt pushed to share more what an "every" day looks like.
So today I did a henna treatment for my hair. I may put up a photo at some point. My natural hair is mostly gray with some medium brown. The henna is extremely inexpensive, easily obtained at a nearby import store (they have amazing spices as well). I play chemist and make the paste, let the paste cure 4 hours, apply, wrap my head in plastic (a lot!) and wait 4- 5 hours to rinse it out.
But today I had what can only be termed as an itch to go out during my treatment. I work at Walmart and I have seen far worse than a pudgy middle aged lady in a satin bonnet cap.
If I'm going out I'm taking my bag, with evangelism packets. I had a couple Spanish, 6 New Testaments, and a few with.plain candy, tract, Scripture booklet. I also include a handwritten note "I'm praying for you daily!" (I can write it in English or Spanish).
I applied the henna and wrapped my head, put on the bonnet. I can't wear my glasses my head is too fat with the plastic and shower caps I use. That's OK I can do pretty much anything that doesn't involve tech. I put my candy in my hand cart (non driving due to brain damage from birth).
God sends me people. He flags them and points them out. I offer the Gospel and they're delighted. This happened again and again, the mail man, the bus drivers, the man I let cut in front of me at the grocery store.
While I was out, I bought more candy (it is a really good mix and very reasonable), bags, etc. You would not believe how much candy, index cards (for the notes), tracts, booklets, New Testaments I go through for the Candy Lady ministry.
I also found a nice pork roast for $4. When I got home I seasoned it up. I have it marinating in the fridge.

You're safe with us. Always interesting to see ministry/missions/evangelism in action
Who knows, something you're doing might inspire someone or give someone an idea

The link isn't going where you intended it to go
It's going to a story about police shooting a homeless man in a Walmart parking lot.
I'm getting ready for a trip to see my elderly parents. Last year I spent most of the visit at a family friend's bedside.
I'm bringing outreach, mainly large print as my recipients age range from about 50 to 90. I am also working and doing normal outreach.
My orange cat is 6 years old. He got very upset when I got out the luggage yesterday.

Christian book distributors got cheap on shipping and my box came open in transit. No Bibles were harmedin the process.
