The classic question of “what to give the man who has everything” comes up every holiday season. This question is not really accurate. What the question is really asking is, “what do you give the man who doesn’t seem to need anything?”
In reality, gift-giving can be very hard for adults. Most people purchase the things they need as they need them, so finding the perfect gift means either buying something extravagant that they would never feel justified buying for themselves or buying something they hadn’t thought of.
One of the classic male gifts is a wallet. It is a safe bet because most men will never buy one unless the one they have is falling apart, but it will wear out and need to be replaced.
Even though a wallet is a safe gift, it isn’t a particularly fun gift. Innovative isn’t a word that is often used in conjunction with wallets. While this is typically true, there are some innovative wallets out there that provide security while making tech and gadget-minded guys excited.
Modern Wallets Provide Security
One of the main reasons to upgrade to a modern wallet is security. Most new credit cards and debit cards have RFID chips. While these chips allow for increased convenience through touchless payments, they make it possible for bad actors to get your card information without ever seeing your card.
A thief with a scanner can walk through a crowded store or restaurant and pick up dozens of card numbers and sell the numbers or use them to max out your cards without you even knowing they were stolen. Even if you get all the money refunded, it can take a lot of your valuable time to track down the invalid transactions and protest them.
An RFID wallet will protect your valuable information from skimmers. This means you can know your cards are secure when they are on your person.
Modern Wallets are Slimmer Than Ever
The innovative wallets on the market are super slim. Since most men carry them in their back pocket, this means great comfort when sitting, without losing the ability to carry several cards. Some have push-button access which allows them to expand and make all your cards available with a click, then retract into an RFID protective sleeve for carrying.
These modern wallets can look extremely space-age, made from materials like aircraft-grade aluminum. There are also RFID protective slimline wallets made of real and man-made leather if you want modern conveniences in a more classic look.
Wallets Can Be Trackable Now
One of the most desirable features of modern wallets is the ability to have GPS trackers. With a GPS trackable watch, you can find your watch in the next room or the next town over.
These trackable wallet cards allow you to ring your wallet if it is misplaced, which can make a huge difference when you are trying to get out the door in the morning. The convenience of that function alone can save hours every year.
Beyond a local ring, trackable wallets have global GPS. With this global GPS, you can pinpoint your wallet anywhere in the world. Your wallet fell out of your pocket in the parking lot of the grocery store three hours ago? You can track it down from your cell phone!
In summary, the advances in wallet technology this year make what is an old standby gift much more modern and up to date. With features like RFID protection, global GPS, and modified form functioning, wallets can be an innovative and exciting gift!
