Pictures in wallets?

squeakyduck · 19-10-2010 3:40pm #1

A girl commented on the picture in my wallet and it got me to thinking what kind of pictures people keep in their wallets. Was it a picture of a fun day you had with friends or a picture of the people/person you love most?

I have an old black and white passport sized picture of my parents after they got engaged, many people comment on it saying it lovely and also saying it strange. I think it's a lovely picture to carry around with me as they are separated now and it makes me happy to see them happy back in their youth, they are only about 22-23 (around my age) in the picture!

That sounds very sweet

I used to have a photo of me and 3 of my friends, a passport photo where we all squeezed into a booth in Dublin Airport minutes before my first ever flight. It was getting a bit tattered though so I put it into a small frame instead. No photos in there now.

Don't think I've ever had a picture in mine

I think it's nice to have photos in your wallet to remind you of happy times! I have a photo of my niece and nephew who live in the states dressed up for Halloween.my niece was only a couple of months then and was dressed as a lady bird and my nephew as a storm trooper! Just nice to see them when I open my wallet as I don't see them that much.

I have another one of myself and my fiancé when we were on holidays in Orlando.we are on a rollercoaster and the looks of pain on our faces always makes me laugh!

So yeah,photos in wallets are great!

I have a couple, mostly family ones and there's a nice one of my boyfriend which makes me smile when I see it

I don't have any pictures in mine. I have an out of date student card belonging to a friend of mine though, and that has a picture on it but other than that, none.

I don't have any pictures but I have three bank cards that have my favourite photos on them.

I used to have a photo of me and my best friend for years until it got ruined when I spilled drink on my wallet:(, Now I just have a passport pic of my bf and one of my dad and a drawing my little sister drew me during the summer

Have a few photos of my husband in my wallet but have a photo of all of us on my keychain. I have lots of photos on my phone (mainly of our son and my husband) and a little collection of photos from my wedding in a mini-book.

Nowhere to put pics in my purse/wallet but have a pic of my godson as my wallpaper on my phone.

Scarinae · 19-10-2010 8:55pm

The current one I'm using doesn't have a place I could put photographs. In my old one I used to keep a strip of photos of me with friends, and one of my cousins who were still living in Sweden at the time

The only picture I have in my wallet is the one that's on my college ID.

I had the same wallet for 3 years and it had a photocopy of a picture my husband and I took in a photobooth (didn't want to ruin or lose the original)

That wallet was falling apart though so I recently got a new one... this one doesn't have a picture frame like the old one but it has an extra ID window so I was going to put a picture in there but I haven't decided yet. I was thinking one of our wedding day but that might be a bit corny

candy-gal1 · 20-10-2010 10:56am

parents divorced same as the OP, so if i could find a pic of them together then i would do the same.:)

padipascua · 20-10-2010 11:07am

sorry I can't embed vid! so funny though

I think it's so cute to carry photos don't do it myself but it's nice when someone shows you pics of their kids or pets

bubbaloo · 20-10-2010 2:51pm

Nice question OP!
For years I have had a pic of my hubby when he was about 6 years old. He looks so cute. Then we had our little boy and now I have both photos - and actually they look quite alike!

I had similar for years except it was a group of us from our first shopping trip to town on our own

dont actually know where it is now

Shellygoose · 20-10-2010 9:20pm

ive a few photos in mine....mostly of my daughter and partner. Have 1 of me and best friend on a random nite out that was probably one of the best nites out we had.

I also have the first "scribble" that resembled an actually drawing that my daughter did.

I think its nice to carry such things with you, but i would be devestated if i was to lose my wallet!!

I don't have any pictures in my wallet, sad person that I am.

I do remember, a charming gentleman (ahem) that I was going out with for sometime a number of years back. We were going out with evening for dinner, staying with friends, I was upstairs getting ready and he shouted up and asked me to get his wallet, he forgot it, no problem them. I dropped it and it feel open, he still had a pic of his ex in his wallet, even though we had been seeing either other about 6 months at that stage. When I mentioned it, he made a huge deal about me going through his wallet etc.!!
Needless to say it wasn't the start of a long lasting meaningful relationship!!!

I have my boyf's driving license photo in my wallet. The wallet didn't have a place for it so I just sellotaped it on! He has my driving license photo too.

Nobody would want my drivers license photo, I look psycho in it.

I have a picture of my folks with my childhood pet. I love it and it makes me smile.:)

I don't have pictures exactly, but have those little memoriam cards for my two grannies which have pictures on them. I have them in my wallet so they're always with me...sounds a bit strange but for some reason its a comforting feeling.

An ex of mine had a photo of his ex in his wallet a number of months after we started going out, I found it in there one day and I was RAGING. Apparently he forgot it was there... :rolleyes:
