Cheap gift ideas: Wallets for him & her

As part of my strategy to focus on small gifts to make Christmas shopping easier and cheaper, I’m compiling the ultimate lists of gifts for under $20. I’ve covered:

… so now it’s time to put something in them.

walletWallets are under-appreciated. They keep valuable items like our money and I.D.’s safe, only to be sat on or thrown into our bags. Chances are, many of your loved ones have sad looking wallets that need to be replaced with new, stylish ones. And if they don’t, well, having an extra wallet certainly won’t hurt anything.

For a gal with a lot of cards, there’s this nice, blue leather, trifold wallet from Kenneth Cole — for just $18.99. For the women who can pare down the cards, there is also this leather “magic” wallet in pink or turquoise. It’s $12.49, super slim, and is a great choice when you’re trying to pack everything into a small bag like a clutch.

While not strictly a wallet, coin purses like this fanciful one from Miquelrius Jordi ($14.99) are an alternative way to carry not just cash, but also little bits like hair pins and clips.

Of course, the guys on your list will probably like something more masculine (though many women wouldn’t think twice about using men’s wallets).

This zippered, leather bifold will keep his cards secure for just $15.45. Or, encourage healthy wallet habits with this ultra-slim wallet with built-in money clip from Nautica. It’s just $4.99 — down from $38! For the real minimalists, though, there’s the classic wallet alternative: a leather money clip for just $9.99.

For the runners and gym-goers on your list, here’s a neat wallet for just $9.99. This shoe wallet attaches securely to one’s shoelaces and can hold money, keys, I.D.s, or an Nike + iPod Sport device. What a great idea, seeing how gym clothes rarely have pockets! In four colors: black, blue, camouflage, and pink.
