Imagine this if you can. In a year, the average male receives at least ten pairs of socks, a dozen handkerchiefs, a dozen shirts, and a dozen ties. Multiply these by the number of gift-giving occasions in a year, then increase the figures exponentially by the number of years your father, brother, or uncle has been receiving presents. What do you get? Socks, handkerchiefs, shirts, and ties so numerous they boggle the mind.

These figures defy comprehension. If you truly love someone, why would you want to bury them in a mountain of socks, handkerchiefs, shirts, and ties?

Giving presents to family members is always a challenge, particularly if you have to buy too many presents over such a short time. If you are on a budget and in a hurry, choose a gift type that you can give to just about anyone - brother, sister, father, mother, or even ex-wife. This way, you need not worry over what to give. All you have to do is pick different styles or colors of the same gift.

There are many types of wallets, among them:.

1. Money Clip Wallet
A money clip wallet is a hybrid between a money clip and a wallet. It combines the best of both worlds. It is as compact and organized as only money clips can be, and at the same time, as spacious as all wallets are.

The best thing about a money clip wallet is that it pushes people to rethink their traditional concept of wallets. Without side pockets or compartments, a money clip wallet is thinner and is much easier to bring everywhere. It forces you to get organized, too. A money clip wallet can only hold up to a certain stack of bills and three or four credit cards.

2. Bi-fold
These wallets are mainly for carrying credit cards in. If you value organization, you will most likely appreciate the compartmentalization that allows you to arrange your plastics. Bi-fold wallets are trendy and slim, and they never cause your pockets to bulge.

3. Tri-fold
These frequently have three zippered storage compartments, each one useful in keeping loose change in.

4. Zip-around
This is a big wallet with zipped enclosures on three of its sides. It has long and wide slots that make it perfect for storing documents in, on top of bills and credit cards. Additionally, it is made up of two storage compartments separated by zip-closures.

5. Chain Wallet
These are large wallets, often made of leather, which people carry inside their hip pockets and secure to their belts with the use of a chain. Especially popular among truck drivers and bikers, chain wallets are said to be the wallet of choice of people who are frequently on the road.

You can never go wrong with a wallet. A money clip wallet, or any wallet, will make a good generic present for several reasons. For one, wallets are always handy. For another, they come in all kinds of styles and colors. Finally, they are very affordable. Wallets, from money clip wallet to zip-around, will never go out of style. The day the world stops needing wallets is the day money ceases being functional.
