People who live the fast urban life have little or no time to focus on the time fleeting around them. Thus, it is difficult for them to stay prepared for any and all unfavourable circumstances. As an urbanite like myself, I face such cases almost every day. Being on the run has also taught me to travel light and efficient which helps me to be on the move 24/7. While I personally do not like making my wallet bulky, which weighs down my pocket or sachel, one should make sure to carry what s/he might need. Aside from carrying, credit cards, forms of ID and emergency contact information; here are 5 handy things to carry in your wallet.

Credit card light bulb

Imagine your smartphone is out of charge and you are stuck in an elevator due to load-shedding. Of all the necessary things to carry in your wallet, this card bulb will prove to be the beacon of light in the dark. With this handy little light bulb fashioned into the dimension of a credit card, you will always have a source on the go. It can easily slide into your wallet just like a credit card! You turn it on when you flip the light bulb up.  Keep in mind that it's not the brightest light in the world, but it sure does come in need when the lights are out! It shines bright enough so that you can see what is in front of you. Find it on Daraz for Tk 279.

Multi-tool

Is it a knife, a ruler, or a wrench? It is a multi-tool card! Packing a knife edge saw blade, several wrench positions, a bottle opener and a few other tools all in one credit card-sized piece of steel, it is a must-have for any wallet! You will face circumstances more than you can count where you might need any of these tools in one sleek steel card. I personally keep this super thin, incredibly useful tool in my wallet for easy access to all of these useful handy tools, especially when I am travelling with friends or travelling solo! Daraz has it for Tk 520.

Smartphone chargecard

Does your phone need a full charge twice or even thrice a day? Are you saving up for a better phone and it is going to be some time before you save enough to have it? Or are you in a situation where your trusty phone is about to die because you couldn't charge it for some? There has been more than one occasion where I could not find a proper power outlet and sometimes you will forget your power bank back in your home. This nifty little gadget would be the answer to all of those circumstances mentioned above! Use this gizmo to charge up your devices and fold it up to keep it in your wallet just like a credit card, where it will stay until the next time you need it! At only Tk 624, you can order it from Daraz.

Carzor

You have been out of town for a few days and the overnight bus was late to get you back to the city. Now you are short on time to get dressed and run to your conference, weekly meeting or presentation. But your 5 o'clock shadow is not doing any favour to you! Or have you been in your gorgeous skirt or pretty dress and looked down to see a few stray hairs you missed while shaving your legs? There have been more than a dozen times when I dreamt of a razor that I can carry at all times! This godsend of a razor comes in the size of a credit card. It can be folded out to get the job done and you can put it back in for future use! It's Tk 250 at PriyoShop.
