I haven't used the wallet yet. I was looking at it and thinking it would make sense to glue some sort of snap or something to that tab since if it gets full it seems like it wouldn't actually hold.

But don't have any enemies. I'm thinking since I have it I might as well put it in the closet and pull it out if any drunk people on the street outside get really rowdy in the middle of the night. I could recite poetry or something to totally throw them off. 

I already checked eBay to see if it was worth selling but there are plenty of vendors selling at $20 with free shipping (and that thing is heavy) that it really wouldn't be worth trying to unload it that way. 
Okay, in retrospect the megaphone is kind of cool. It is totally random but it is making me feel rather smug knowing I have it. (Who owns a megaphone, really!?) And it looks kind of nice sitting on top of my bookcase. Still canceling that subscription though because I really had to warm up to the idea and I feel her past boxes were hit & miss.

Does anyone know who Rachel Yeomans is? She's launching a Quarterly box too and it looks fashion oriented - https://quarterly.co/products/rachel-yeomans

Haven't tried it out yet, but what might work is to buy a small (but powerful) magnet and glue it onto the tab so that it'll stay. IDK, haha.

I tried the wallet and it didn't work for me. I put my cards in and the latch really didn't hold it together so items would fall out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Same here - tried it - it stayed shut - but barely and with any use it's not going to.  I wouldn't trust objects in the pocket.  To get my license bak out though - I had to use tweezers - that baby was in there SNUG!

Seems there should be a way to just glue a snap onto it (or even ... dare I say, a small dot of velcro?) 

I would be hesitant with having a magnet near my credit cards even though that seems even easier to glue than a snap.

Never mind; I just took another look and now it's obvious that wouldn't work because the little tab wouldn't fit through the metal closure.

I'm not sure where else to ask this question - I'm new to fragrance. I adored the Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge sample we got in the box. (Although it did not seem to have much longevity.) I think florals are key for me. I realize this is a ridiculously expensive fragrance and when I read reviews online from fragrance-experts it seems it's not universally adored but that many of the other Tom Ford formulations are better reviewed. What's the best way for me to test the rest? Do I have to take myself to a Nordstroms and try them there? Tips on how to do so? Thanks everyone!

I would just walk into Nordstroms or whatever other department store, find the Tom Ford section and ask someone to help you. Explain that you've tried Jasmin Rouge and you'd like to try some others to decide on which you'd like to purchase. They will have no problem helping you, even if you ultimately decide not to purchase anything.

Or I would go to Sephora (provided they carry it) because they will make up any samples you like that you can take home with you & test.

Sephora doesn't carry Tom Ford, so to Nordstrom I will go! Thanks all!

If it helps any, I have the full size of Jasmine Noir and love it! It has lasted me a really long time and I always get compliments on it. Totally worth the money!

Agree. I love most of the Tom Ford creations. I have TF Black Orchid. Amazing and worth every penny. I get tons of compliments when people hug me and I adore the scent. It's complicated & sexy and just yummy.

I'm very new to fragrance but in a few weeks I'm going to have to go down to Nordstrom to check out some of the TF scents. It will be my reward for graduating this semester!

Congratulations! And yes, do treat yourself to a Nordstrom date. They are very generous with samples. If they don't have one from the company, they will make you one. Always ask to see what perfume samples they have in their drawer that they think you might like too. It's a great way to discover new scents.

Did you ever make a trade?  I got the elephant and would prefer the one you got!
