I was given a wallet today and I’ve already put some money in it. I don’t know what other things I should put in it, maybe my ID.
Get a library card, always underrated
2 bandaids
A note(maybe laminated) saying:
“LOST wallet. Call 555-4678 for reward. Thanks <your name>”
Keep 50 bucks at home, for when someone shows up.
What an original idea xDD
FYI: do not sit on a wallet. That can cause/irritate Sciatica.
Keep in front pocket, or other carry all item, eg: backpack, courier bag… etc.
Bank cards, loyalty cards, other cards…
I keep a laminated 4 leaf clover in mine.
Me too!
Plenty of people are answering your question, so let me give you a warning. If you put a gift card to an obscure store or punch card for a barbershop in there, you will absolutely forget you have it.
An uno reverse card
It’s come in handy more times than I’d like to admit
Only things you wanna lose
Sure you need some cash but dont put your life savings in there, just enough for todays shopping/sandwich
AR-15
Traditionally, a condom. But only for a decade or so. Just long enough for it to mark an eternal shape of dismal circumstance.
An Apple Air Tag
Here in Paraguay it’s very difficult to find one
There are some very cheap alternatives out there, especially on Amazon but probably also very easy to find on other vendor websites. Some of them are even credit-card shaped so much easier to fit in a wallet. Work with either iOS or Android.
When you have your first wallet you’re probably pretty low on stuff to put in, so stuff in anything that seems appropriate to you. When I was a kid I put buttons in because broke cartoon characters always paid with buttons and I figured it’d be worth a shot.
some things my wallet has had in it since i was 16 years old until today:
spoiler
- a stamp I like the look of, in the really hard to reach bit with a see-through pocket
- an old ticket to a tourist site because it has a cool design on it
- a bus pass
- student ID
- driver license
- currency + foreign currency
- a thumbdrive for uni work in my coin section
- a discount card i got mailed for getting student membership to a professional license board
- a card saying I’m a stem cell donor, but idk what it does. I think it’s just a helpline phone number.
- political party membership card
- dental floss (jk… But maybe it’s an idea)
When I had my wallet all setup, I like to take out all cards and get a photo of the front and back of all cards.
If it’s ever stolen then you can see the photos for the phone to call and report stolen and the card numbers too. You also know what was in the wallet too.
As little as possible.
