Thank you & I cannot thank joansatx enough for her suggestion. I should have also said, the reason for snapped corners, in the morning when you pack your luggage, unsnap your valet and it packs flat, so it won't take up space or sides be crushed. I love the brown vinyl too. I think it looks rich, even though the photos are not too good.

Thank you and joansatx again. It is a great idea for those hard-to-think-of-men-gifts.

I like the vinyl too, Carol. Unfortunately yesterday, when I went to see Avery, I went by the store and they didn't have anymore like this. I had to get black and it's rather smooth, where this brown has a little texture.

I do too, but I think maybe I should downsize it just a little. While I like the size to hold their wallet, change, keys, etc all in one spot, they may not have enough space where they will sat the valet on. What do you think? The bottom is a little less than 9 inch square.

Thank you Sonja, I think the wives will like it too, especially if the men are scratching the furniture swiping their change up.

I thought it did too, not because I made it, but what I mean it doesn't look 'homemade', like some people frown upon. Thanks!

Sometimes links aren't allowed but look in your INBOX at top.

Thank you very much, hope the men think so, too.

Snaps.

I think so too!

Thanks Vicki!

We think so too. My niece came and I cooked lunch today. She loves this and the fact it lies flat to travel/pack.

High praise, but not deserving, this was so simple to make. I have my vinyl ready for my 4th one. My niece loved this and told me there are 8 men on this trip. I will make an extra 1 or 2 just in case.
As I said before joansatx/Cutie gave me the suggestion. Can't thank her enough.
You will have to make Trevor's when you get back....for the NEXT trip!-lol

Look in Sewing, okay?

I have put up the instructions how to make it, in Community/Sewing. If you need anything else, just ask. Best Wishes-Toogie

Thanks Lidia, I am so happy joansatx/Cutie told me about these. I think they make a perfect gift.

Yes, just in time for Christmas AND planning another trip so he can use it!-lol-Have a safe, relaxing holiday!-Toogie

I actually may make one, for the woman traveler, too. I hope the men will come to appreciate them, even if they don't at first.
On our Maine trip, we only had one woman that came up to the front of the bus and thank us for her gift- She won the the travel journal I covered, with the lighthouse embroidery. And then of course, the woman who pleaded with me, for my Maine lobster/lighthouse bag I had been using all week!-lol
We will see how appreciative any of this group will be.
One man was a retired Army general on that trip. He was deaf due to war but he was so courteous and seemed so kind. His wife died suddenly a few months ago, unexpectedly....He never spoke a word to me but would offer the way, ahead of him, but I would always refuse and wait until everyone got off. At the end of the trip he surprised me when he said, "He hoped the next time we meet, he would be able to hear." I found out he was going to have some kind of implant surgery, when he got home. I hope if he did, it was successful.

I'm glad to know you plan on using my directions for making one of these. Let me know if you need anything.

Thank you I sure am happy a Cutie shared this idea with me and I could in turn, could try to help you all out. Hope you can make one for someone's Christmas.

Thank you, I thought man or woman would like this and it would also be good, at home, for remotes and such. My daughter wants one for her DH. She says he comes home, his shades are in one place, wallet in another and so on. She actually text me photos .-lol
