When I turned 40 last December<\/a>, my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB<\/a>, told me she wanted to take me shopping for a special birthday present. I couldn’t take the pressure of picking out my own gift for such a momentous occasion. I felt it had to be something amazing that I would never buy for myself. Tricky! But at long last, I found the gift of my dreams. Here is Gigi the dog guarding my purple Prada birthday wallet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I would show you the inside but I got overexcited and put all my stuff in before remembering to take the picture. I’ve been walking around for years with a wallet that spews crumpled bills, credit cards and loose change everywhere. This wallet has the perfect interior (with TWO zippered compartments) and I feel I will be able to keep everything organized now. I think it can pass for a little clutch, which is a bonus. Also, hello! Purple! Thanks, BarbaraB!<\/p>\n

Weirdly, a band called Lazlo Bane<\/a> has a song called Prada Wallet<\/a> that mentions a birthday. Here are the lyrics:<\/p>\n

Happy birthday baby\/
\nGuess what you didn’t get\/
\nIn addition\/
\nWhile you’re wishin’\/
\nKeep on fishin’\/
\nFor that Prada wallet
