World's Thinnest Wallets by Big Skinny - A Review and Giveaway!

***Giveaway Closed 6/13***

Father's Day is just around the corner and I have the perfect gift idea for the special Dad in your life... a wallet! And not just any wallet. A Big Skinny Wallet.
I recently got the chance to try out a Big Skinny wallet. Well actually, I let the Hubs try one out. He's always complaining about the "brick" in his back pocket so I figured he would be an ideal candidate to really give it a good test.

The first task was to pick out a wallet. Big Skinny has a large selection of men's and women's wallets, card cases and money clips, and passport and travel wallets. The men's section alone has 16 styles to choose from. And for the ladies, 14 different styles. That's a lot of wallets to choose from!

After much consideration, the Hubby decided on the World Wallet.


What makes a Big Skinny wallet different than other wallets?

The main difference is the material. They are made from a durable, water-resistant nylon micro-fiber which is 5-7 times thinner and lighter than leather and just as durable. The design of the wallets is very important as well. The pockets are extra wide and fit 3-5 cards. The pockets also have a rubberized backing making it harder to lose your cards or cash. They are very well made and are tough enough to wash. They even come with a 1-year warranty on materials and workmanship!

Here's the real difference.


I think the photos speak for themselves!

The Hubs is very pleased with his new Big Skinny wallet. And rightly so. He is no longer sitting on a brick!

Head over to Big Skinny and check out their wide selection of very reasonable priced wallets. Priced from $10.95 in a variety of styles and colors, there is something for everyone!

Enter to win a Big Skinny Wallet in choice of style and color!
