A Personalized Money Clip - Many Choices To Fit Any Man's Personality

By Ned D'Agostino

A money clip is a simple device used to keep your cash, important receipts, and credit cards in one compact location, and is typically used in place of a bulky wallet. A money clip doesn't have to be boring to do its job well. A personalized money clip is a classy way to carry around your money and look good at the same time. There are several materials from which a money clip is manufactured and each style fits a different person on your gift list.

Money clips come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, making them the ideal gift for just about everyone. Money clips are round, oval, rectangular, and square. Some money clips are very fancy, with diamond studs or diamond engravings.

Metal money clips are the most popular and can be made of stainless steel, titanium, platinum, white gold, silver or gold. They're seen as a luxury item and are always a gift appreciated by the recipient. The metal can be engraved with a fancy or simple monogram, making it a personal gift that fits just that person.

Another style of money clip is the magnetic clip. Created from two strong, flat, round or rectangular magnets usually encased in leather, they are designed to swivel into an open or closed position. This style of money clip is very masculine and is capable of carrying more cash than a metal money clip, making it very popular in some circles.

For the person who likes to carry not only cash, but also credit cards close at hand, a hybrid money clip is the perfect choice. It is designed specifically to hold more with its swivel magnetic clip attached to the backside of the clip itself.

Leather money clips are sometimes called a slim wallet because they are slim enough to fit into your front pocket as well as your back pocket. This style of money clip will sometimes have pockets not only for your credit cards, but a clear window for your identification as well. Colors vary from the traditional black to browns, tans, dark greens, and even a cr่me color. Personalize a leather money clip by embossing initials or a special symbol on the outside.

Some money clips are formed into the shape of a dollar sign, a paper clip, or a horseshoe. Others have a built-in pocketknife, making them even more unique. There are even money clips that have a working watch conveniently built-into the design. It's even possible to have your favorite sports team emblem embedded into your money clip.

Custom money clips are also a classy way to go, but many times the manufacturer will require a minimum number of clips to be ordered at one time. Unless you are ordering for a large number of people (100 or more), this may not be an option for you.

The style of money clip a person carries tells you a little bit about that person. It may tell you if they are wealthy, down-to-earth, organized, flashy, or a relatively simple person. Money clips vary in price range, so you're likely to find one that will fit your budget.

A personalized money clip is a fashion statement all on its own. They are a status symbol for some, and a necessary accessory for others. Take the time to choose exactly the right one for each person on your gift list and you'll enjoy their excitement when they open their very own-initialed money clip.
