Art In Your Pocket – 11:11 Enterprises Giveaway

Gift Guide Pick

Here is another post that I had great fun writing for my Christmas Gift Guide.  11:11 has unique products to gift for Christmas.

11:11’s founder Jamila Tazewell began selling her wallets and card holders on the street.  Quickly realizing she was making more money than waiting tables she made a business go of it.

They are obsessed with imagery of all kinds- the 11:11 Enterprises slogan says it all:  we make “Art in Your Pocket.”  Their sources range from old encyclopedias and science books, to snapshots taken around town and sent to them by fans and collaged scraps of paper collected over many years.  You truly will find something on their site that will scream out at you to purchase for a particular person you know.

Take me for instance, this is on our office desk.

We actually flip them over and use the blank side for writing notes, and scratch paper.  Yes, these are computer punch cards, leftover from a previous job that my husband had many many many….years ago. 

So when I saw the The Computer Punch Cardholder Wallet on 11:11, you better believe I snapped that up!

It measures 2.75” x 3” when closed and holds up to 20 business cards in the clear inside pockets, or a combination of business cards, credit cards or ID cards.  It’s made from a durable recycled paper-plastic laminate combination and hand sewn with cotton thread.  ($11.99)

I also received an International Money Currency Tri-Fold Wallet.  How cool is this as a stocking stuffer for the globe trotter?

 

Like all of 11:11’s pieces it started with the design, the art, and then they made something useful!  It measures 2 7/8” x 4 1/4” when closed and 4 1/3” x 8 3/4” fully open) and has one main pocket for cash and three clear inside pockets to hold a combination of business cards, credit cards or ID cards.  Like the Cardholder Wallet it is made from a durable recycled paper-plastic laminate combination and hand sewn with cotton thread.  ($21.99)

Or how about this Petite Purse for your tween or teens stocking? 

This Petite Pouch features the Robot Love design, an original creation by designer Shana Kent.  The Petite Pouch has a back slip pocket.  It’s available in 5 colors and 4 different patterns.  These delightful pouches are made from 100% consciously grown, organic cotton and constructed in Brooklyn, New York. ($15.99).
