#5 Next up is the Carzor!

So, we all know how frustrating it is when we are going out and glance down to see you missed a spot while shaving.

Or when you’re in the office after skipping shaving during a rushed morning and suddenly your boss announces a visit from some important VIP’s!

If you only had a compact, neat little razor with a mirror that you could slide in your purse or wallet! Well, that’s exactly what the Carzor is!  

 A fantastic little device. The razor handle very cleverly pops out of the card exposing a U-shaped mirror to enable fast and efficient shaving even when you are away from a bathroom!  

 The blades are kept at the back of the mirror in two storage slots, giving you an extra blade for any other shaving emergencies.

#6 Card cutlery 

Although a portable knife and fork may not be the absolute top of your everyday essentials, it’s an awesome space saver that may come into play at just the right time! Like when you fancy something hot for your lunch and get some quick take out, but don’t have any kitchen utensils handy.

Or maybe you like to take a nice healthy salad to the office for your lunch break and the lunchroom isn’t stocked with cutlery. Or maybe it is, but you prefer to bring your own!

Each utensil is about 3 inches long so although you aren’t going to hold in the same way as conventional cutlery, it is a great portable alternative that is super convenient to slip into your wallet or purse. 

The secret is to slip your index and middle fingers through the holes on the handle, this will give you the necessary grip to be able to cut effectively.

The forks have 1.25″ long prongs and the knife blade is about 1 and a half inches. At this size they are, of course, far shorter than your standard-sized cutlery, but they will work perfectly in a pinch!

There is the added green bonus of cutting down on disposable plastic cutlery, which is always a great benefit! Another perfect item to stash neatly in your wallet!

So now we’ve seen how useful micro cutlery can be, let’s see how you can make sure you are never locked out of your house again.

#7 Spare card key storage 

We all remember the time we had to climb through a window because we‘d accidentally forgotten our key. It’s so annoying, not to mention a little bit dangerous. 

What’s even worse is locking your keys in the car, something we’ve all done at least once! Grabbing a spare key holder to fit neatly inside your wallet or purse is the ideal solution.

Simply just pop your house and car keys into the plastic and store safely in your wallet. Think of all the hassle you could avoid if you bought one of these key storage cards. Any time you need a spare, it will be conveniently hidden away inside your wallet, ready to use!
