We've been fans of Makr wallets in the past, so we were pleased when the company alerted us to their latest wares. The Makr Flap Wallet ($120) is company's latest, hiding a secure pocket for cash and cards behind a front flap and horizontal strap that holds the flap tight. Available in black, grey, and brown finishes, you're sure to find one that suits your needs.

It's about time someone really combined the money clip and wallet. The Braithwaite Cypress Wallet ($100) eschews the common practice of bolting a metal clip onto a regular wallet by transforming the design of the wallet itself, leading to a half-bifold design that keeps your cash securely folded inside, along with three cards, thanks to a secure magnetic closure. The terrific wood grain-like Woodstock leather outer is just icing on the cake. [Thanks, Jeff]

Old business attire gets new life as these Recycled Necktie & Suit Wallets ($28). Handmade in Pennsylvania, the wallets sport an exterior made of a retired silk tie, while the inside is made from an old pinstripe suit. They've got room for bills and two credit cards.

With such remarkable reviews from long-time owners, it's hard to believe we're just now hearing about the Dopp Regatta 88 Series Front Getaway Pocket ($21). This exceptional front-pocket wallet, possibly the new king of slim wallets, features three credit card slots, an ID window, a utility pocket, and a section for cash. [Thanks, Carina]

It's not just a rubber band. Really. The Money-band ($4) is a minimalist alternative to a money clip or wallet. Designed specifically for cash and cards, it's about 1/2 inch shorter and a little wider than a standard office rubber band, fitting your wad perfectly.

It's rare that we can say we're "blown away" by something as simple as a wallet, but Makr Wallets ($75-$150) do exactly that. Available in a variety of styles, fabrics, and patterns, all Makr Wallets are designed, patterned, and cut in-house, produced in small quantities, and assembled by family-owned companies inside the U.S. While we enjoy the simpler designs of the Angle Wallet in Ox Blood ($75) and the Two Wallet in White/Brown Plaid ($90), there's enough variety to ensure you'll find one that suits your taste.

Eco-friendly products made from reclaimed stuff are all the rage these days, but rarely are they as cool as these Redefining Wallets ($32-$65).

If you play the guitar (or want to look like you do) check out the Orpheus Wallet ($105). This unique, slim wallet is made form full-grain veg-tan leather, and features three slots for guitar picks on the outside. The interior card pockets — six of them — are lined with silk for easier card insertion and removal, and the exterior surface adds just the right amount of age to make this a great-looking and functional wallet. [Thanks, Dave]

SaveOne of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20). Milled in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, these stones chill quickly in the freezer, and won't impart any flavor to your favorite blend. [Thanks, Chet]
SaveGet rid of the paper trail with the NeatDesk ($400). This compact ADF (automatic document feeder) scanner helps you declutter your desk and empty your filing cabinet, leaving more room for important stuff. Like snacks. With one-button scanning, the NeatDesk scans up to 10 receipts, 10 business cards and 10 documents at once (or a single 50 page document), and then organizes the copies and extracts the info for digital use. You can scan in a stack of business cards and populate your address book, or scan in a pile of receipts to auto-track your expenses (export to Quicken, Excel or Quickbooks), or scan in a document and turn it into a searchable PDF. The auto-organization and character recognition technology worked surprisingly well on the Mac unit we've been testing, and is going to make next year's IRS holiday a little easier to deal with. With versions available for Mac OS X and Windows, you'll be able to organize your office no matter if you're a Mac or PC.
