The only time I was gifted a wallet was by my dad as a young child and I had that wallet up until I got my first job and every wallet since has been one I’ve purchased. It was also his old wallet, not a brand new one.
I kind of wish someone would now because I’ve been looking for a new one for the past 6 months on and off again but nothing seems to fit my needs. I guess that is a reason I should be buying my own since I have specific needs for one.
People have different preferences for capacity, thickness, arrangement of card slots, need for a transparent ID card window, etc., apart from the aesthetics. I find the idea of a tri-fold to be absurd, and even then more than half the time I just go with a magsafe cardholder on my phone.
