Excuse me while I have a sentimental moment. It feels like yesterday that Jack was helping me with my first reviews on the blog. I blinked and a decade flew by. I’m also feeling humbled to still be writing on The Simple Moms for all these years.
Jack just turned 15 and he’s over 6 feet tall. He’s growing up in every way, but still gets put to work on the blog. 🙂
This summer he opened his first bank account, worked at camp for a few weeks, got his boaters permit, and is embracing the joys of privileges that come with a new age. I’m extremely happy for him and watching him develop into a functioning human being is exciting.
I realized when his debit card arrived, he didn’t have a wallet besides his Ninja turtle Velcro wallet he got when he was 4. He certainly had enough social awareness to know that wasn’t cool. My husband was able to use his Andar phone case wallet and Jack borrowed, for the short term, his dad’s Andar Apollo Wallet.
Jack shopped for his favorite Andar wallet and he now uses The Monarch:
- Full Grain Vintage Leather
- 3 card slots
- Holds 1–6+ cards
- Pocket with elastic pull-tab (quick & easy access to your cards – see photo below)
- RFID protected
- Measures 4 1/8″ L x 2 3/4″ W x 1/4″ H
The Monarch is their slimmest wallet yet. It is made of full grain leather; this wallet gives you easy access to cards with its retractable pull-tab feature. It has enough room to hold a little bit of cash along with your essential cards—helping you organize and minimize what you carry. Teen boys are fairly minimalistic, so this was a great choice.
It’s not too early to think about Christmas gift ideas. Andar has wonderful quality wallets that would make a very special gift. I’m also going to be sharing my backpack purse (The Addison) very soon! It’s the nicest purse I’ve ever owned!
Shop ANDAR!
They have quite a few great sales right now!
