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 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 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’ve received one. I’ve bought three, one of which was a custom made leather dealie. Ymmv
Yes, my family gifted me my first and second wallet.
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.
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.
no. i have had the same wallet since 2006
If you want a good wallet you buy it
I’ve definitely gotten more as gifts than I have bought for myself (I’m a guy in his mid-40s).
I was taken to the store by my step father and he made me spend my money on a wallet that I no longer had money to put inside of. I have bought all of my wallets myself.
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/
