We received personalized passport covers.

They are still in the closet because I can't regift them.

Why not just give them cash? I don't do gifts any more and haven't for years. I would really hate a gift like that, it would never get used but I would feel bad throwing it out. If you must, include a note with the check with a link to a passport cover and say 'I was thinking of getting you this but wasn't sure you would use it.'

Hey now, some of us have a ziploc bag to store our passports.

Did you hand it to the agent with the cover on it? I would probably get pissed too.

X2. You’re supposed to take your passport out prior to handing it over. I use the cover to keep my travel documents all together.
Here’s mine from Montblanc:

Thanks! I like this!

$280 for... a black piece of material to cover my passport, and it only holds two credit cards.
I clearly run in different circles than the OP.

I guess PP are saying it’s a good gift. I wouldn’t use it for several reasons

The Newer Passports are more sturdy so don’t need protecting.

I personally don’t keep all my docs together. We have a passport case on a lanyard that my DH wears when we travel as a family. Our cards and cash are all kept separately.

I don’t carry a wallet or purse. The one posted looks heavy and cumbersome.

Traveling internationally, i wouldn’t want anything flashy that screams “I have expensive things”.

I would not use this when traveling solo but definitely see the utility in something like this when traveling with my DH and kids. In fact, I might get one!

Seems unnecessary. Really for the people who have everything. I guess.

Agreed, this would have no use for me. I really wouldn't want someone spending good money on something like this for me if I could avoid it. OP I would try and somehow confirm they would like it and use it.

Whoops, sorry, missed your reply. I still might shade towards something on the registry. Less risk.

Great idea. I have an expandable “passport wallet” at home that holds my & kids’ passports, global ID & social security cards. I like having these important documents together in one ‘wallet”. We travel internationally 2x per year and it’s very useful.

Just no. Get them something they actually want. No one wants this for their wedding.

I would just get them something off their registry.

Yes, I think they will, if I get them each the right combo of style and function.
