Gifting Something Special: An Overall Guide for Best Wallets With Money Clips as Gifts

Wallets might be one of the coolest things ever to give. They are thoughtful as gifts as they are quite handy as they are functional, not just a ‘look pretty’ type of gift and they are also quite charismatic as everyone can enjoy the looks of a great wallet or a card holder. We can see that you agree with us, as you are planning to buy a wallet or a card holder for your special one, your boss, your friend or even your son or daughter. Whomever this person is, we know that they are quite lucky as after going through this article, you will know everything to do in order to buy the best wallet for the person you are gifting to.

The Foundings of a Great Gift: Types of Wallet to Buy

If wallets were superheroes that loved to enter the scene with a bang, each different wallet type would have an unique catchphrase for that entrance. Maybe this was an exaggeration but this should give you the idea that every type of wallet is different from the others in terms of what they stand for. That is why you should be understanding their languages and know what they are saying about themselves before deciding on a one that you will give to. Remember, if you fail this stage then it’s most likely that the person you are gifting and the wallet you will give them will not enjoy each other’s company. So, having cleared that, the first superhero we are looking at is the bifold wallet. Bifold wallets are like that sharp dressed character whom everybody loves the style of but not many dares to copy them. They are charismatic, classic yet daring enough to say that ‘No honey, I’m not like those other wallets you knew. This is why you should gift them only to people with classical, sharp styles. Next, we have trifold wallets. Continuing in the same universe where wallets are our protagonists, trifold wallets would be our hot and smart character. They share the same ‘cool’ factor with bifold wallets with a twist of their own. They add more usability and utility on the table without losing too much on their charismatic side. Of course, they are not as hot as bifolds but they are one of the smartest options out there and this is why you should gift them to people who love utility but just can’t give up on looks for it. Last on our lists is the card holders. In this universe, card holders are your buddhist monks who own just the bare minimum for the sake of enlightenment. They are the epitome of minimalism. They stand for ‘I only need these, so why bother with anything else?”. That is why they belong to the hands of people who like to look at things with a minimalist and utilitarian way of perception.

The Money Clip: An Absolute Necessity

Before we continue with the aesthetic side of things, we want to mention the fact that you absolutely should buy a wallet or a card holder with a money clip. This, if forgotten, could turn your great gift to a great burden to the receiver of the gift. See, it’s true that we now live in an age where cash is no longer needed for most things, it still hasn’t changed the fact that not carrying physical money on you could be quite devastating. So although it is not the main means of exchange anymore, it is still an absolute necessity to have. That’s why it is crucial that you check the potential wallet you might buy to see if it has a money clip or not before going on with the purchase. Lastly, money clips can be really stylish if they follow the guides about aesthetics that we will discuss further down the article, so you should not worry about that. 

The Color: The Inner World of the Receiver

The color of the wallet, just like many other things that can be gifted, is the most crucial aesthetic part of your gift. And we have a rule of thumb that you should consider with this purchase and any other gifts you are going to buy in the future. See, color is personal. Remember the times where we used to ask each other what our favorite color was when we were just kids? Yeah, it is that personal. So deciding on the color of the wallet should be done through the perspective of the receiver of the gift, not according to our own likes or dislikes. It is a skill that takes quite an empathy to pull off. So you need to take off your goggles and put on your friends, husbands, girlfriends or whomever’s’  to decide on the color. Does she like brown and other natural woody tones? Then you are looking for one that is brown. Does he hate black? Well, it’s a shame that you are not buying that gorgeous black leather wallet you just saw, at a price that low, and fell in love with because your friend will likely not enjoy it. You can maybe buy it for yourself but just remember the fact that you are buying it for someone else, and that someone else’s preferences should be the determiner of the color you end up with.
