Our tickets fit, there was enough room for cash, and I could stick it in my pocket and not worry about losing it on rides. However, I wouldn't give one as a gift unless I knew the recipient would use it. I got one for my mom and she uses it for all those store "club cards" they give out.
Some of the newer credit cards can be "read" by someone else just by standing close to you in the store. If your cards are in a metal cigarette case they can't be "read" and the numbers stolen. Not a bad idea for a gift.
