Money Clip

A great item to get for just about any man on your shopping list is a money clip. This classic gift for guys is a staple in nearly every man’s collection of things. Although a money clip is a standard and generally safe present that most men will love, it is a good idea to consider the many different styles and designs offered by manufacturers of this traditional gift.

Leather is a favorite material for a lot of guys, especially ones who like a more casual lifestyle or who have a generally laid back personality. The leather money clip is a fantastic present for a man who likes beer and pizza on the weekends instead of Champaign and caviar.

The gentleman who prefers Champaign and caviar would appreciate gold but when it comes to buying a money clip, it is important to consider that the object goes through a lot of wear and tear. A soft metal like gold is probably best suited for items like watches and rings.

Silver, on the other hand is a classy choice for the money clip that may appeal to the gentleman on your list. This tougher metal can withstand being tugged and pulled in and out of pockets. The silver money clip still carries the rich feel of the gold without the vulnerability of the delicate gold.

A money clip covered in gold plating is a great option if you want the look of gold without the weaknesses associated with the metal. This option is also relatively easy on the pocketbook as well. One thing to consider is how often the money clip will be used. The gold plating might wear off over time.

An example of how precarious the condition the money clip faces really is involves a money clip bought for my husband. He was an attendant in a wedding and the groom chose to buy a money clip with the face of a watch adorning it. Unfortunately, it took little time to damage the timepiece.

Other options include finding a more personal money clip that really represents something special between you and your recipient. I found a wonderful replacement for my husband’s money clip in a little store just outside of our town. This money clip is constructed of bronze and it has a wonderful drawing of the Weary Warrior on the front.

This classic Native American icon is one of my husband’s favorites. His money clip is a favorite as well.
