Hi!

I got a Ymail coin purse, black patent, last Christmas, and I just can't figure out what to do with it! I love it, and obsessed about it forever, but it just seems too nice to put gross coins in, plus the way the snap is on the back, I'm not all that sure they'd stay in too well.

Any thoughts or ideas? My husband keeps threatening to throw it out if I don't use it!

Mine is kind of like my go to in a hurry wallet...I keep credit cards, id, $ and receipts in it, believe it or not it actually holds a lot.

I use mine as an ipod or digital camera case. Both fit perfectly in my coin purse.

I like the mini wallet idea. I do carry around lots of papers, pictures, etc. I don't have an ipod or a digital camera that would fit.

I use mine all the time for everything I need...coins, credit cards, membership card, all things I have to take out in a hurry, and it became irreplacable !!! I just love taking it out seing Yves' address there..it makes my day...start using it and you will see how it will grow on you..cheers, vesna

Whatever you decide to do, use it, use it, use it. It's dying to get out and smell the fresh air. Too pretty a piece to not use is all I'm saying...

^ You're right. I need to just DO it!

What about a business card case? I like the i-Pod/camera case idea too...

Sometimes the smaller accessories can be tricky to use, esp. if we're not used to it. I use a coin purse for ID, cards and cash when I'm going out with a smaller handbag or clutch.

Thanks so much for all the ideas ladies! I have taken all the papers out of the back pocket of my wallet and put them in. So, it's a hodge podge of store coupons and pics of my daughter.
