On Christmas morning this year, it turns out that many were surprised with a new bag in a very functional silhouette. In its annual list of Best Sellers, Amazon revealed that wallet-style bags topped the list of gifts for women. The two most purchased of the style were Fossil's Emma large zip wallet and Kate Spade New York's Cedar Street crossbody. Both bags boast a compact construction, fusing the functions of wallet and bag with the former acting as an oversize wallet and the latter acting as a small bag in a continental flap wallet silhouette.

The trend can be explained by the wallet-style bag's ability to meet both style and practical needs, making it a smart holiday gift. Its popularity can also be explained by its price point—this particular silhouette typically falls on the lower end of the spectrum for almost every brand. The gift also kills two birds in one, making it a perfect option for the recipient for whom you don't know is in need of a wallet or would prefer a new bag.

If you didn't get everything you wanted for Christmas, shop playful pouches, keychains, and wallets here.
