An end-of-the-year gift to myself: the Comme des Garcons wallet. In gold. A little flashy for my usual tastes, but I had to have it. It spoke to me. And a splurge? Indeed. But when you factor in how many times, per day, that you whip out your wallet, it seems a little more practical. At least to me.

It’s small, There’s not a lot of space for cards, which is fine with me. I need to be able to actually close my wallet. And it’s well-made. It’s going to last a long time. It zips all the way around, meaning it’s safe for someone like me, who tends to lose things. Even money. It’s been known to happen. I’m far from perfect. But this wallet is the perfect answer. My shopping motto? Quality over quantity. Always.

Oh, almost forgot. It’s on sale. Now. And don’t you deserve a lovely Holiday gift? For the woman who gives and gives and gives? I think you do.
