Easily the most unique gift I received this year was a clear vinyl wallet that my wife bought on Etsy. Under their shop called tinymeat, Mikey and Mona sell these wallets in a number of different designs, and this one is the 8 Bit Wallet in black.

Mine has already grabbed a lot of attention, usually when I’m paying for things. I like that the inside is clear, because showing ID is very easy. The construction is very solid, but I wish mine had more pockets in it for all the crap I lug around in my wallet. It’s been an incentive for me to travel light, but I wonder when the first time I will realize I don’t have something I need will be.

You can also check out their own shop on their website, avoiding Etsy completely if you like. There is mention on their Etsy shop of an upcoming Nintendo DS case line, so we’ll need to keep an eye out for that.
