Abstract: A card may include a generally planar panel and a plurality of opposing retaining members disposed on the panel. The plurality of opposing retaining members may be arranged to retain a substantially rectangular transaction card having a first longitudinal axis in a first orientation with respect to the panel and to retain a substantially rectangular paper gift having a second longitudinal axis in a second orientation with respect to the panel, so that the orientation of the first longitudinal axis is substantially transverse to the second orientation of the second longitudinal axis. The paper gift may be, for example, paper monetary currency, a paper bank check, or a paper gift certificate. The transaction card may be, for example, a debit card, a credit card, a gift card, a prepaid phone card, a card containing a merchandise credit usable at a retail establishment.

Abstract: A measuring apparatus is disclosed which is used for measuring distances in a convenient and efficient manner. The measuring apparatus includes a measuring tape having a front face and a rear face defining a housing. A magnet is connected to one of the faces of the measuring tape for releasably securing the measuring tape to a ferromagnetic material. The measuring tape also includes an elongated, spring-loaded measuring member selectively extensible from the housing. The measuring apparatus further includes a retaining pouch having a base member of generally flattened configuration and having opposed planar front and rear surfaces. The pouch also includes a pocket member to receive and retain the measuring tape. The pouch further includes a mechanism for magnetically co-acting the pouch with the magnet of the measuring tape. This mechanism has at least one ferromagnetic member that is generally flat and made of metal plate which is attached to the pouch.
