“Give a wallet” - this saving thought comes to mind when all other gift options have already been tried and are not suitable. The wallet is an ideal gift in every sense. It is compact in size, functional, and its price most often fits into the gift budget. But superstitions regarding this subject are somewhat alarming.
Before giving a wallet, study the signs about an accessory that brings monetary luck, the rules of gifting, and find out who you can give such a gift to.
Why can't you give a wallet? Signs and superstitions
- It is strictly forbidden to give an empty wallet as a gift, because it will bring “chronic” money problems to the recipient.
- A gifted wallet or piggy bank without valuable contents (at least purely symbolic) will bring financial losses and business failures to the owner.
- A “free” wallet as a gift condemns its literally poor owner to a shortage of banknotes.
Signs paint a bleak outlook, almost like a “debt hole” due to the gift of a wallet or purse. But it is not all that bad.
All terrible beliefs relate only to a “contentless” wallet, and a wallet with pleasantly rustling or ringing contents is insured against the serious consequences of bad omens.
How to act
The best option to avoid problems is not to pick up the found wallet at all and just pass by. If for some reason you decide to raise it, then it is better to take the find to the police. You can also place an advertisement about the find, but this is an even more time-consuming and nerve-consuming option, since, most likely, you will have to meet with a bunch of self-appointed “owners” and clarify with them the contents of the found wallet.
If you nevertheless suffered from the actions of scammers, then immediately, without wasting time, contact the police, then there will be more chances to find the criminals.
Choosing a wallet that can “attract” money
In practical magic there is a whole section devoted to giving money and choosing wallets. Aspects and postulates of this direction provide interesting and useful answers, allowing us to conclude that this gift requires a responsible approach and compliance with the rules, because it is a material symbol that influences monetary luck.
- Leather and suede are considered the best materials for a wallet; they represent stability and financial wealth.
- The most desirable colors for a “pocket safe” are brown and black. In second place are golden and yellow colors, which also attract cash.
- The size of the new wallet should exceed the previous “version” and it is desirable to have a large number of pockets or compartments.
- Of course, it should not be empty; it has been noted that one dollar has the most powerful energy aimed at attracting money.
- A purse should not be cheap; such a “purse” does not evoke thoughts of well-being, but initially carries the energy of poverty.
- It is very important that the donor surpasses the recipient in status.
Conclusion
Fraudsters know a lot of ways to take over other people’s money. But one of the most common methods are schemes involving tossing someone else’s wallet, and after the person picks it up, the process of deception itself can develop in several different ways. There are more and more scammers, especially in large cities, where there are a lot of people and it’s easier to get lost, so you always need to be extremely careful so as not to be deceived and become a victim of a crime.

Useful tips for every day for wallet owners
As you can see, in principle, you can give a wallet, the main thing is to fill it with at least one banknote (it’s better to keep the change with you) and take into account a number of some nuances that are equally useful for the donor and the recipient:
- The wallet should never be left empty. If you have spent the entire amount in it, leave at least a few coins in it.
- You should not keep checks next to money, especially promissory notes and unpaid bills. According to esotericists, this causes an outflow of finances. In other words, the owner of the wallet in which the old check is stored runs the risk of encountering unexpected, or even completely meaningless, expenses.
- Also, you should not follow the unspoken fashion of recent years and put photographs of loved ones in your wallet. A credit card, bills and coins are all that a wallet should contain to ensure nothing is blocking the cash flow.
- Try to fold bills carefully. Feng Shui adherents claim that money has the ability to “resent” its owner for inattention and neglect. Make sure that the money lies freely, without creases.
- It is unacceptable to give someone your wallet, even if you are not happy with it. “Give away your wallet - give away your share,” say experts in money magic. Such a gesture can turn financial success and prosperity away from you for a long time.
- To keep money in your wallet, never place it or the bag with it on the floor.
- If you use a wallet to store money, periodically take it out and count it, not allowing the energy to stagnate. The main thing is not to do this after sunset, so as not to reduce your own well-being.
- An indispensable condition: the future owner must like the wallet, so if you decide to give it to someone, thoroughly study the person’s tastes and do not skimp. As mentioned above, give preference to natural materials. If your funds do not allow you to purchase a gift made of genuine leather, you can choose a wallet made of fabric or embroidered.
- You cannot store money that has gone out of circulation in your wallet. Their energy is considered dead and can block your income.
- It’s better to get rid of a wallet with holes, even your favorite one. A hole in a purse or pocket allows money to leak.
Cash withdrawal from an ATM
The most reliable option is when you know for sure that the person has cash on him. This deception scheme is similar to the first described option, but it also has its own characteristics.
Fraudsters watch people withdrawing money from an ATM and target a victim with a large withdrawal amount. On the street, one of the scammers overtakes him and, bending sharply in front of him, allegedly finds a wallet on the road.
The scammer generously offers to split the found amount and asks you to step a little aside to a place that is quieter from the eyes of passers-by. In a quiet place, the money is divided in half and the scammer and his half quickly leave.
Two other scammers immediately appear and say that the wallet is one of them, and since the victim was followed from an ATM, they know what amount was withdrawn by the person and voice that this is the amount that is missing from the found wallet. As a result, the victim of deception has to give up his money.
This describes the best case scenario, and in the worst case, a person will simply be attacked and all funds taken away, and sometimes there is a risk of also losing health and life.
Types by type of closure
- without a clasp or classic - in this case the wallet does not close at all, but simply slams shut;
- zipper: the wallet is fastened with a zipper - metal or plastic.
After purchasing a particular product, it happens that the zipper does not work well and needs to be developed. The zipper can become capricious even after using the product for a long time. But don’t rush to throw away the item or change the zipper, because it can be developed. - button – the button can be located inside the product or located on the strap that closes the wallet;
- magnet – the wallet is kept closed thanks to magnets located in the two halves of the wallet. If the magnets are reliable, this is convenient, since the wallet closes by itself and you don’t need to think about either a button or a strap.
To size

A small wallet is a compact wallet, the main advantage of which is that it easily fits into a pocket or small bag.
Medium wallet - a bill or chest pocket wallet - a medium-sized wallet, usually flat, so that it can easily fit into the chest pocket of a jacket, jacket or coat. In this model there is no need to bend the money; it is placed unfolded. However, there may be exceptions. There are original medium-sized wallets where the money still bends, but still holds a passport, tickets and boarding passes.
Types of small wallets:
- bi-fold wallet – sounds a little clumsy in Russian due to the fact that the name comes from the English “bi-fold wallet”. Wallets of this model may differ in the number of compartments for bills (usually one or two), in the number of compartments for cards, and also in the presence or absence of a compartment for coins;
- Tri-fold wallet – also comes from the English name “tri-fold wallet” or “three-fold wallet”. This is a double fold wallet that folds into three. Due to the additional fold, the width of the wallet becomes larger compared to the previous version, and, for example, more cards can be accommodated;

- original money clip – in this version, the wallet also consists of two halves, and the money is inserted under a leather strap. The undoubted advantage of the clips is their size; the wallet will fit into any pocket;
- coin box - a purse for coins. A convenient format for those who, as a rule, collect a lot of small change and do not want to weigh down their wallet. In addition, it will be very useful for those who choose a main wallet without a compartment for coins.
General classification of wallets
In Russia there is no clear division into types of wallets, but there are the most popular categories, the names of which are borrowed from the West. Each of the types of wallets listed below has a different volume, capacity and number of compartments. So which one is best for you?
Bi-fold wallet
A classic option is a double-fold wallet: something that folds in half. The wallet has a universal appearance, so it can easily be combined with any style of clothing: from business to sports. Bifold cleverly combines compact size and functionality. As a rule, such a model has compartments for bank cards, coins and cash. There is often a plastic pocket for a driver's license or treasured photographs.
Tri-fold wallet
A wallet consisting of three components is called a trifold. In such wallets, bills are folded twice. The wallet also has compartments for coins and bank cards placed vertically. A plastic pocket for photographs is often found. The thickness of trifold wallets when closed is one of the largest. However, it rarely turns out to be more spacious than a bifold.
Traveler
Traveler is a great option for those who travel frequently. A wallet is a system for storing documents during a trip. Its distinctive feature is its spaciousness: there is space for a passport, plane or train ticket, driver's documents, cash and plastic cards.
Longer (breast wallet)
Longer wallets are easy to identify - they are thin and elongated in length. The banknotes are placed in them entirely, without bending. The wallet itself folds in half and has buttons or magnetic clasps as a clasp. There are compartments for bank cards, cash and coins.
Accordion wallet
Accordion wallets get their name due to the fact that when opened they resemble an accordion. These can be either small wallets the size of a bifold, or larger versions in which entire bills fit.
Large accordion wallet options are often a stand-alone accessory that allows you to store all your essentials in one place. There are a significant number of compartments inside, including several compartments for bills, passports, driving documents, telephones, coins and plastic cards. The wallet is easy to carry in your hand thanks to its large size and strap, which is often present in such models.
Zip wallet
A separate category includes wallets with a zipper. Their distinctive feature: secure storage of contents thanks to the complete closure of the wallet with a zipper. Among zipper wallets, there are two subcategories:
Zip around is a wallet that opens up like a book. Its zipper is located on three of the four sides, which ensures convenient opening of the wallet. You might be thinking, how does it differ then from the bifold discussed earlier? There really are similarities. For example, our Zipper is both a zipper wallet and a bifold wallet. But sometimes there may be differences. Firstly, a zip around always closes with a zipper, while a bifold can have buttons as a clasp, a magnetic closure, or even no clasp at all. Secondly, a bifold wallet is always a compact wallet, while a zip around wallet can be very voluminous and capacious.
Compact wallets (front pocket wallet)
Front pocket wallet is translated from English as “a wallet placed in the front pocket,” and this is not without reason! The wallet is very compact in size and actually fits easily into a jeans pocket. Small wallets have compartments for bank cards - because now you can’t live without them. There is also often a clip for bills. The front pocket wallet will become an indispensable option for lovers of minimalism.
Cardholder
Cardholders act either as an independent wallet with a set of bank and discount cards, or they are an addition to the main wallet, which does not fit the required number of plastic cards.
Money clip
In the modern world, money clips are practically not used, since they do not provide compartments for bank cards. A more functional alternative is the front pocket wallet, which we reviewed earlier.
Coin box
Coin box is a small wallet for coins. In some modern versions of coin holders you can find compartments for bank cards.
