With all the fall clothes trickling in, it’s tempting to do a little damage. But as you may have heard, the economy’s not so hot these days. The “Are You Sure?” wallet from Trees With Knees suggests you think twice before throwing down the credit card. One glance at the laser-etched warning—or the company’s more direct “Spend Less"—and you’ll say good-bye to the impulse buy. (At least that’s the hope.) Plus, this kid-leather billfold is way more affordable than whatever’s in that glass department-store case. Which means you can make this particular purchase with certainty.
