ELI5: Is there an easy, painless way for me to discharge static electricity without shocking myself and my family?

I come to work, touch my desk drawer and get shocked. I go home, I walk in the door, hug my son, shock us both. Am I able to wear something or hold something that'll easily, painlessly discharge before I shock myself?

Hold a key (or coin), and touch that to whatever metal you're about to touch. The key will take the brunt or the spark. As for hugging -- make it a game, and you both have to touch keys before you touch each other. It works!
