This is a huge problem for me as well. Not just with GCs since I am swimming in them now, but cards as well. With so many cards, it had always seemed the card I need at the time is NOT in my wallet when I tried to condense and go light. As a result, my wallet resembles that of
@miztressuz and co and would be a mugger's dream. Actually, I have two wallets and a separate zipper pouch (was one of those skincare gift bags that came in handy for keeping my GCs in). Wallet one = main that I walk around it with a few cards/GCs I swap in from wallet 2 when I have my list of errands (plus, working in the city, I don't need to be carrying around a wallet or big purse that is busting out when I go out for lunch). Wallet two = bigger wallet with the majority of cards (15+ but some are DHs for things like RMN; I'm such a hoarder and always feel like I 'may' need it) that are not in the sock drawer. All 3 wallets are in my hangbag, but now, I think I should really try to clean it out again...until I forget yet another card/GC I need for an errand, and everything back in again
