I have got three wallets as gift at different occasion, all without any money in it. And see my luck, I have no money to fill them till now. Perhaps, you should put some money before you give it to your husband. It will attract money, I hope. In our culture it is a sign of politeness to keep even 1 rupee when you give a wallet.

I have heard if it.But I do not know how this belief originated.So people instead of giving empty purses will put at least a coin in It.

Yes, you have to put money inside the wallet, empty wallet means he will not earn enough income. This is Chinese superstition

I've heard of this superstition recently. It makes sense, but I didn't know before and I was gifted an empty wallet. Oh well, I didn't care and still don't.
Here it's also a bad thing to gift perfumes, I have no clue why, but doing so is told to break friendships or romantic relationships.

My grandmother always believed that it was superstitious to give someone a wallet or purse without putting money in it. Back in the old days even pennies counted
