My best friend of almost 20 years is having her birthday on Thursday. It has been a while since we have spent time together, and we are planning on having lunch that day. She is a single mom of a wonderful young man, and she has never really had the time or money to buy herself anything nice. She has never been one to carry a full-sized handbag. When we were younger, she would put her stuff in her pockets and hook her keys to her belt loop on her jeans. I decided she deserved a little something from Coach, but I didn't think it would be wise to get her a bag. I got her the Park Leather Small Wristlet in Turquoise. I figure she can put her cards, cash, and phone in there easily. She can even hook her keys to it. She can put it in her pocket or hang it from her jeans or wrist. Does that seem like a wise choice? I didn't take a pic, because it's wrapped up nicely, so here's a stock type photo.

That is very nice of you! I actually just got my sister (who never buys for herself) the floral print wristlet. Went to the outlet with my mom over the weekend and she purchased the turquoise for herself. Bright, happy color! She will love it!
 
Just wanted to thank you gals for your opinions. The wristlet was a big hit. She opened it at the table during lunch, and she was so happy, because, in her words, "Now I won't have to haul around this huge bag." She was carrying an a big no-name bag that looked like it had seen better days. Her phone even fit in the wristlet. A few days later, I got a message from her again thanking me for the wristlet. I am so happy she likes it.
