If you are men then chances are you've had one or two personalized money clips already in your life. A customized money clip is a classy thing to have. Ladies listen up… if you want to get your man something nice, consider a customized money clip. They are a lot handier to carry around than a full wallet. You can get them printed with your fellow's initials on them.
You can get one in silver or solid gold. You can offer corporate money clips to your employees as an award for loyal service over the years. There is virtually no end to the utility of money clips. They are so useful they are now seriously considered a wanted item by men and women both. Who wants to carry around a lumpy purse after all when all you really need with you is a driver license and a few spare dollars?
Choosing A Money Clip
A money clip is often the next best thing to a wallet. It is much more convenient, often used instead of a wallet because it is lightweight and compact. It is ideal for skinny jeans or for people that just don't want to carry around a big bulge in their pocket. Besides, a heavy wallet is really not that good for your back.
Most money clips come in metals or leather. Some include a combination of the two. You can even get magnetic customized money clips these days. These often are made of leather with magnets enclosed on the inner pieces to keep the money clip closed. These money clips let you hold larger amounts of money, although some people just prefer to have a wallet if they are going to do this.
How Do I Know If I Need A Money Clip?
If you plan to hold any more than about 10 to 15 bills at any time, unless you have a magnetic money clip, the chances are high you can get away with money clips. If you have 20 or more bills you will have to invest in magnetic money clips or a wallet (or purse if you are a lady).
Why won't money clips hold any more than that? Because they aren't crafted to. They are thin and wiry because they are supposed to hold just a few bills. They are supposed to limit the amount of cash and cards you carry around so you don't have a lot of clutter following you from here to there. Why on earth would you want to stuff your money clip full of garbage? You could get an industrial strength money clip but you are far better off sticking with simple silver or 14k gold money clips.
Most people find if they frequently travel light they can use money clips. If you live in the city you are far better using money clips than heavy wallets, because if someone picks your pocket in a crowded sub you are going to lose less that way then if you have a bulky wallet filled with your treasures for them to walk away with.
