A compact liquid container/dispenser shaped and sized with the approximate dimensions of a standard sized credit card. The device includes a flat, generally square container portion capable of holding a small amount of a liquid, such as perfume or cologne. A smaller, flat, generally rectangular, lid portion is attached to the container portion along one edge with flexible hinges. A flat, pump spray dispensing component is fixed on the container portion and extends a suction tube into the liquid contained within the container portion. The lid portion may be closed over the dispensing component so as to cover the mechanism and prevent its inadvertent activation. An alternate embodiment includes a flat, generally square, removable container capsule that may be removed from and replace within the container portion of the device.
