Nautica Men's Trifold Wallet

This is a great product, genuine leather, cool design, and lots of pockets, the only down size is that the credit cards pockets are a bit small, if yo only have 4 cards your good, but if you have 6 or more you will find yourself jamming your cards in and out every time you need to use them.

Tommy Hilfiger Men's Tilton Credit Card Trifold Wallet

Nice well made construction and soft leather. Had mine now for 3 months. Holds cards firm and tight. Has a center card flap for plenty of additional cards making it a quasi quadfold. ID window a plus. Fill it up and is bulky at first but forms well in your pocket. Lacks a key holder or additional bill pocket but runs circles around WM or other discounters trifolds for a few dollars more.

Dopp Regatta 88 Series Front Getaway Pocket

I have been on a search for the perfect front pocket wallet the greater part of my adult life. I can't say enough good things about this little wallet. It is unbelievably thin so it fits into your front pocket with ease. Make no mistake, if you are the type that carries receipts from four months ago along with cards that get used once ever 2 or 3 years this may not be the best item for you. I easily carry 6 credit cards, 8 business cards, some receipts, and plenty of cash. If you prefer not sitting on a "butt-brick" and doing damage to your back to the comfort of carrying what you need in your front pocket you need to get this little gem! It is one of the best $20 buys I have ever made!!

Nautica Men's Multi Card Passcase

Nautica may call this a "passcase," but believe me--it's a wallet--and a very nice one, too! This leather wallet is perfect for the guy on a budget who still wants an excellent quality wallet. The wallet is made of cowhide leather; I love it! This easily became my favorite wallet for informal occasions--which is pretty much every day of my life! LOL

The see through plastic holder allows you to show identification cards or a driver's license without having to take it out of the holder; I appreciate that feature. There are compartments for holding money and other things like tickets inside the main body of this wallet; and the wallet also has a whopping nine slots for holding credit cards, ID cards, bank ATM cards and the like. Great! It comes in either brown or black; and it will last you many years with proper care.

Overall, this fine wallet should forever with the proper care; and that makes it a good deal at the cost of $19.99 as I write this. I highly recommend this wallet for young people and people bumming around doing errands. Although it could go with attire for a formal occasion or a dressy work environment, it's not the very best wallet to go with your attire for a formal occasion. Other more stylish wallets in that category can be found for sale on this website.

Squeeze Coin Pouch by CTM

There really is not too much to say about this product. It is a classic squeeze leather coin pouch. I replaced an older, worn out one just like this one. The quality of the new one is very good, and the squeeze mechanism is very tight, so nothing will slip out when it is closed. I actually bought two of these, so I have one keep in the drawer as a back-up. My old one still works, but does not look too great, and the squeeze closure does not keep closed too tight, So I hope these 2 new ones last as long.

Tree Purse Hanger

I received one of theses as a gift and now plan to give them as gifts because I'm so pleased. I also got a second one for myself as I found it useful to keep attached on my desk to hang my purse there. You know what it is like dining out and constantly checking to be sure your purse hasn't fallen off the back of the chair, or stolen if beside you on the floor ? Women have accepted this as part of the territory of handbag ownership. Well, now this unique lightweight accessory solves the problem. This item will become fashionable!!

Purse Brite Bright Lighted Handbag Organizer

 If You Don't Use a PDA, Cell Phone, or Wear Make-up, You'd Love it


Instructions say don't fold it, but if you don't it acts like a hoop skirt and pushes the sides of the purse out. Pockets aren't deep enough, tall enough, or functional for large items such as PDAs or Blackberries when organizer is placed inside the purse as the usable size gets eaten up by the bend.

Lite is bright and helpful, but it is also big, bulky, and cuts off use of one the few usable pockets when it is in place. No pocket is large enough for all the make-up one might carry and the lipstick pockets are too tight to relinquish the complete tube (you end up with just the lid in your hand or just the tube, with the lid still in the pocket). Coin slot is flapped - would be best zipped for easier access.

Nice fabric; lite is bright; would fit great into a medium size tote. Idea has merit. Just not really what a modern girl needs. Must've been designed by a guy or by a girl without much to carry. Suggest assessing your needs and making one of your own.

My Granny's Purse (Board book)

My kid loves this book, a glimpse into a secret adult world


I'm writing this because I'm surprised that anyone would write a negative review for "My Granny's Purse," a clever, charming piece of readable sculpture that still intrigues my precocious 5 year-old daughter after a year and a half.

Despite lots of other available literary treasures, My Granny's Purse has been her consistent favorite, winning the nighttime sweepstakes as my daughter's most-requested reading item. That makes it a winner for dad too - a kid's book that engages and fascinates for repeat visits. But there's something a little mysterious in My Granny's Purse that defies explanation, though I think it's the peek into an adult world that is part real and partly untold that fascinates my daughter.

The ongoing appeal of My Granny's Purse is also mildly surprising given its rather minimal, aphoristic text - a text intended to be humorous in contrasting mom and granda's admonitions ("Throw that junk away" vs. "Save it for a rainy day" e.g.), with no danger that it might stir up any family conflicts (whew, please spare kids the blandness of political correctness!)

Whatever the allure of this piece - part pop-up, part toy sculpture, part reading book, part found object collection - My Granny's Purse has kept its appeal longer than anything else on our bookshelf, so now I'm getting copies for kids of friends as well. Fragile? Not really, but handle with care and apply tape where needed (only the joints are fragile, the cardboard is tough). In any case don't deny your kid a trip into the random snapshots and souvenirs of an entire adult lifetime, glimpsed in the found objects that populate the witty and intelligent "My Granny's Purse." Bottom line: my daughter loves it - she's the one giving it five stars.

International Playthings My First Purse in Purple

When my daughter first received this purse as a gift she carried it around constantly for a week and then pretty much forgot all about it. I think that its due to the fact that the contents of the purse are plastic junk. Although it was kind of cute to watch her try to swipe the credit card, I began to fear what this was teaching her about money and spending. Also, the lipstick comes apart, posing a choking hazard for younger kids. As cute as the lipstick was (it was perhaps the best part of the set) I ended up having to confiscate it. The purse set is probably an innocuous toy suitable for imaginary play and dress up, but I just feel that we owe our little girls a lot more credit in providing them with more challenging materials of play. Still, it is fun to do what mommy does, and this purse fulfills that purpose. I just gave my daughter more realistic items to carry around in it, such as old spare keys and a tin of lip balm (to be used under supervision). Alas, she still gets a kick out of the credit card, to my dismay. I intend to replace it with toy money when she's a bit older. The actual purse itself is cute and sturdy, thus will probably hold up well with a lot of play.
