A Personalized Money Clip To Suit Your Personality

By Ned Dagostino

A wallet, by the dictionary definition, is meant to carry currency and necessary documents like IDs and credit cards on the person. Instead it is usually filled with out-of-date visiting cards and useless slips of paper. A money clip teaches you the art of wielding Occam's Razor to pare away all but the essential. It lets you keep ready cash and the most necessary documents on your person. Functionality aside, a personalized money clip can be your very own style statement. It is an all-occasion gift of choice which is at once high in value and low in cost.

The personalized money clip is a popular gift item because there is a vast range to select from. They come in just about every shape and material. They can be decorated with jewels to make them exquisitely extraordinary!

The most popular money clips are made of metal, from stainless steel to royal gold. Whatever the material used, the money clip decorated with the recipient's name or monogram is a well-received and well-appreciated gift. It is one of those very rare examples of a utilitarian item which is a luxury item at the same time.

A magnetic personalized money clip is a source of envy for those who don't possess one. It consists of two leather-encased flat magnets which can be swiveled shut or open. It accentuates the masculine persona very emphatically.

When the ordinary money clip does not suffice to carry the cash and cards the user wants, the hybrid money clip takes over. It is a standard money clip, with an additional magnetic plate hinged at the back. This way the cards and the cash are carried separately in the same money clip.

Not all personalized money clips are made of metal. Some are made of leather, and these are often called slim wallets for their close resemblance to regular wallets. Leather only serves to add charm to the handsome money clip. Leather personalized money clips are available in all the colors associated with leather - black, tan, buff, among others. You can put your mark on the personalized money clip by embossing it with your initials, or monogram.

The personalized money clip's design ranges from the conservative to the flamboyant. You can choose the design that spells out your precise nature. A racecourse aficionado will get a horseshoe-shaped personalized money clip, a dollars-and-cents type will get one shaped like a dollar sign, a sports fan will get one embedded with his favorite team's emblem! If you like novelties, you can get money clips with a built-in watch or a pocketknife.

If you don't see what you're looking for you can get your money clip made to order. There usually is a minimum ordering quantity involved for such custom-designed personalized money clips, so you'll have to work out the economics.

A personalized money clip reveals the person's nature or personality. The style, color, workmanship, and material tell whether the person is flamboyant or sober, flashy or plain, fanciful or solid. Of course all that depends on how personalized the money clip really is! That's why you should take a lot of care when you personalize a money clip for yourself or for a friend. It is this thought and care which make the personalized money clip priceless. Speaking of which, the price range of a money clip is accommodating enough to suit every pocket. So don't hold back when you're out shopping for that perfect personalized money clip for yourself or for a friend.

There are many ways of making a style statement through personal accouterments like studs, tiepins, wristwatches, and fountain pens. The most stylish, luxurious, yet affordable is the personalized money clip. Only wristwatches and money clips look good in any situation. That's why they are considered signs of masculinity. A personalized money clip is really useful on the one hand, and so stylish on the other. The personalization makes it unique. When you gift someone a personalized money clip, you can be sure that he'll appreciate it a lot. - 16738
