Swarovski business card holders, $29.99

crystal detailswarovski pink crystal business card caseSure, Facebook is great, but face-to-face networking will never go out of style — and you never know when you’ll make a new contact. So when opportunity knocks, will you confidently pull out a business card or sheepishly ask for a pen and napkin?

Keep a set of business cards on hand and you won’t be stuck fishing for something to write your contact information on. Even if you’re not looking to improve your career prospects, they’re handy when you meet new friends.

While you can save money by printing basic cards at home, give them a good home to keep them crisp, clean, and ready to go. Even better, dress them up in a snazzy case.

This pink Swarovski crystal business card case would be great — if it weren’t $85!

Fortunately, this similar case is just $29.99 and ships worldwide! Plus, it ships free to the U.S. and even comes with a free LanoLip moisturizing lip balm.

Or, get the clear crystal style for the same price and you get a matching compact in addition to the lip balm! (The compact is also sold separately for $19.99.)

What a dazzling deal!

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.

This season’s Tokyo bag trends

A trendy Tokyo handbagHere in Tokyo, bags are more like an obsession than an accessory.

Perhaps the handbag obsession stems partly from the style and polish of Japanese packaging. Amazingly, even a humble pastry from the bakery is usually wrapped, sealed and placed in a branded paper bag with ribbon or raffia — so literally everything Tokyo women carry around is chic and beautiful.

If you like bags and enjoy the idea of amassing a huge collection you’d love the selection here in Tokyo.
