What's in your wallet? I love the photos on Flickr of people sharing the contents of their purses and backpacks. In fact, it tells me a lot about what people place value on (if you're willing to cart it anywhere, it must be important, right?). My purse currently holds a Sharpie pen, an old Holiday Inn room key, some antacids, breath strips, gum, a few used gift cards, my wallet (with I.D. and a couple of credit cards), a business card holder, and my pocket video camera.

We want to know what you currently carry in your purse or wallet. You can give as much or as little detail as you like. We want to know if you carry checks, cards, diapers, gum, or prefer to hoof it around with a fanny pack strapped to your waist full of nothing but cash! By sharing the contents of your wallet or purse, you will be entered to win a $20 Amazon GC (you won't be able to put it in your wallet, however — we'll email it to you!)
