There's something that just isn't quite the same about making your friend a mix-CD, or a playlist on the computer. I miss cassette tapes. It's the only way you can force the listener to sit through the entire musical "experience" you've created, rather than letting them skip past the 10-minute, spacey jam track you thought would be bitchin' at the end of side 1.

If you feel the same way, never fear -- we can all bask in a little nostalgia together with the cassette wallet.

Basically, it's a tape with the guts taken out, and replaced by zippered pouches for all your cards, cash, etc. As an added bonus, because each wallet is hand-made, you can pick which tape you want your wallet made from -- so you don't end up looking like geek with all your money in a Barry Manilow cassette.

It's $43, which seems a little pricey, but these are way cooler than some generic leather wallet. I say go for it.
