Wrist Wallet



Meet My New  handy dandy zippered Wrist Wallet.

I have not carried a purse in 20 years, except to work and that was to haul all the what ifs I might need during the day.... 11 years ago when I retired, I put the purse away and never carried one again. The problem is, I carry my card case in my pockets. Now that I have lost weight I can not find pants with pockets. I have to wear stretch jeans because I am an apple on toothpicks body style and for some reason they put FAKE pockets on the front.

I found this Wrist Wallet and it works for me. I leave my phone and card case in the truck, and carry my drivers license and debit card, and a little cash in this. I have had it for a couple of weeks and love it...  

PicMonkey Mirror Made me do this one.
I bought three wrist wallets, Bob wears one on his wrist with ID inside when he walks  Jake. It stays in the drawer with the leash.  The 3rd is for when I wear out the one I wear. They make them to hold cell phones and cards but I find that to heavy. I don't need a phone to go in a store.

Hello Sandra!:) So practical, and you could use it for other things as well. I could do with something like this, as I never use a purse either,...and as my, trousers don't have pockets, I could even keep my extra camera batteries in there. We don't have the same shops, but I'll be on the lookout for one, now that I know they exist.

Hello, I do not like carrying a purse either. This wrist wallet looks perfect. I am glad Bob is wearing one and carrying his id now too. There are times I just give my drivers license to my hubby to put in his wallet and off we go.

Most times we go out, it is for a walk. I carry my camera and hubby has the binocs. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!

Very handy! I could have used that on our German vacation!

Lois said...

I like that very much!

What a clever find. Was it hard to find?
I still carry my pocketbook when I leave the house and always will probably I have lots of 'what ifs'.

I haven't seen one of these before! Perfect for you! I have always carried a BIG purse! I still do ut now I have a very small strapped wallet that I carry IN my purse when I get in the car. I just pull that out when I go in somewhere knowing that I have the extra stuff I MAY need available. My sister, Deanie, is amazed I can do this since I'm known in my family as a bag lady!

Sandi said...

Good idea! I hate carrying a purse.

Breathtaking said...

Thank you Sandra, I am going to order one right now.:)

I had some friends who made something similar and sold them after they retired. They had school children in mind and the wrist wallet also had a pocket for change. (that was back when school lunches were less than a dollar!) Nice to know these are available. I hate carrying a purse also.

Oh wow . Never heard of them. How handy. Purses are a drag.
Only you would have one and hubby. Great idea but I don't shop on line. the computer. Long story. Was very serious. Had police invested and caught them. So I do not use anything on computer. One in a million. That was us.

Okay girl - where did you get it?

Rose said...

I have thought about these. Funny thing, I carry my wallet in my pocket, even though I carry a purse for 'stuff' I might and do need with Roger. and I carry my camera with me almost all the time. My point and shoot...

But I carry an evening's dose of Roger's meds, and I carry tylenol for him, and ibuprofin for me, I carry a pad of paper...to sit and do therapy with him at Hardee's or McDonald's...I carry sunscreen in case I get in a hurry and forget to put it on before I leave. LOL

That is cool. I have carried a purse since I was in grade school and I feel way to lost without it...although it is a very small one.

Inger said...

I love it!

Blogoratti said...

How lovely and very handy too, certainly makes a lot of sense. Nice of you to share.

Ann Thompson said...

I need one of those. I carry a purse but when I walk I like to have money or card on me in case I want to stop in the store on the way. A lot of the pants I have don't have pockets

Ruth Hiebert said...

That looks like a handy gadget. I am still one of those girls who feels the need to carry a purse. You know, one just never knows when I'll need that one item in among the many that I have not used in years.I am trying to trim down what's in that purse but trying is the key word.

The Adventures of the LLB Gang said...

What a great find! I tend to lose my credit card/Costco Card/Any Card when I put it in my pocket, and this would be perfect!!

Mevely317 said...

This is such a GRAND idea! I've tried carrying a wee clutch (v. my bag), but that's more annoying than a purse on account I'm afraid to set it down. I'm going to look at the kind that hold cell phones as well, since it's still far too hot to leave mine in the car.

Beatrice P. Boyd said...

Ok Sandra now you will need a follow-up post to let everyone know where you bought these wrist wallets and the cost. Like you Imalso don't take a purse with me many days, but it would be nice to have someplace more secure than pants pockets for ID, cash, credit cards. Do tell all...

Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMotte said...

I have such tiny wrists it would be an issue but your idea is a great one, super practical.

Ida said...

I've never seen one of these before but I think they would come in quite handly when going places that you don't need to carry a heavy purse.

Debby@Just Breathe said...

I like it. I wish that was all I could carry. I use a very small purse but with two inhalers to carry I couldn't get by with a wrist band.
