You know what I always say, anything that removes the need for a pocket protector is a good thing. Well, okay, that might be the first time I’ve ever said that, but it’s true. More room for our scientific calculator.

The Pocket Clip Pencil is a fine example of why minimalist design is sometimes some of the most innovative and beautiful ways to create something new. Simply slide the pencil into your pocket or book and you’re good to go. No more losing 3 pencils a day. The only downfall is that the clip takes up some fine pencil real estate. For a little more than $7, it’s surely not the most price effective writing utensil out there, but what it lacks in affordability it makes up for with pure practicality.

When you’re at a kicking party that’s got a ton of free wine and hors d’oeuvres, your hands are bound to be full. With this re-imagined paper clip, however, holding a glass of wine with your dish full of appetizers will leave your other hand free to shake hands and/or grab asses.

The Polish design studio Razy2 is calling this paper clip the Kylpsos. Designed by Paulina Krauza and Jacek Ryn, two party freaks who can never have enough free hands for ass grabbing. With a free hand, picking your nose at parties is no longer problematic. At least for me.

Money clips can be made out of anything. Paper clips, rubber bands, you name it and a money clip is made of it.  Designer Scott Amron is trying to dupe people into buying either a $12 pre-made money clip or a $9 DIY kit to make your own. The design is simple: a dollar bill with one end taped with a magnet and the other end taped with a piece of metal.

It folds around your wad of bills as if it is just another dollar among them and it is! This simple and efficient design for a money clip makes me wonder if it would be more rewarding to forgo Amron’s offer of a DIY kit in favor of an attempt to make your own similar concept for a slimmer impact on your budget.

Snoring can be both embarassing and annoying, especially to the person sleeping next to you (unless of course, both of you snore, that will depend on who gets to sleep first). There’re a million therapies out there for you to burn money with, but there’s something we discovered today that you might want to try out, and it only takes a few bucks. We’re showing you these nostril clips that come in 4 pairs of different sizes. They are in pairs because one is for yourself, and the other is for the person next to you, with a handle attached at the end that you can manipulate and shove it into the nose when he or she’s asleep and snoring so loudly it gets on to your nerves. Give that a try if you are in Japan, or try making one of them yourselves at home. –Sam Chan
