Apparently it’s a trend that most men just receive wallets rather than buying them
I have bought most I think but I have received some as gifts too.
When I was younger, yeah.
I think wallets are for people nobody knows what to buy for. Like getting them a tie. No hobbies, no interests, no personal declarations of what they might like. Or people just don’t know them well enough to get anything other than some generic gift like a wallet.
I bought mine
Works well as a lanyard too, ADHD would be having me leave it everywhere if it weren’t strapped to my noggin
I always buy mine, and I would never ever tell anyone to buy me a wallet. I am pretty picky these days on what I want for a wallet. My wife is the closest person that could go buy me wallet and generally get the right kind, even then she’ll run it by me before pulling the trigger on such a purchase, to make sure I would use it
I have only gotten one wallet as a gift ever, it was a family heirloom of sorts. All my other wallets I have used I have bought myself
I keep getting wallets as gifts even though everyone knows I don’t use a wallet, I have a collection of wallets that will never feel the back of my ass.
Yes, my family gifted me my first and second wallet.
I’ve received one. I’ve bought three, one of which was a custom made leather dealie. Ymmv
I’ve never bought a wallet for myself
I really should get a new one. I think I bought one when I was 16, and another at 20. 15 years later it is falling apart but still have the same one. I wonder if that means I haven’t had a good friend or family member to buy me a wallet for 15 years. Sobering thought haha
My last 3 wallets I bought for myself. I don’t think I’ve been gifted a wallet since my teens. I’d definitely advise against anyone I knew wanting to buy me a wallet, I’m very particular in the kind I like and chances are very high I wouldn’t use the gifted wallet, or I’d try to return it.
If you want a good wallet you buy it
no. i have had the same wallet since 2006
A friend made me a duct tape wallet in high school. My brother hated it, had won a contest, and spent some of.his winnings ona new wallet for me. It’s been close to 20 years.
I made some amazing tape wallets back in the day. One of them was so well made it lasted more than 1 year.
Funny enough I recently ended up finding a brand that makes paper “leather” slim wallets. Mine is lredy a few years old https://www.andersundkomisch.de/
I don’t want gift wallets, there are like 0 chances I get what I want. Sometimes even for the ones I buy by myself.
I don’t know, the pockets, the flatness… everything needs to fit right.
I’ve definitely gotten more as gifts than I have bought for myself (I’m a guy in his mid-40s).
