Is it possible to become obsessed over a paper clip? We didn't think so, until we found this one. It's made by a Japanese company that specializes in clips of all kinds - pen clips, paper clips, potato chip bag clips, big clips, tiny clips. They call this one the "push clip" because of the small dome you press on to open its jaws (sorry, we could not think of a better way to describe it). Once opened, you can slide the clip over the edge of a stack of paper to hold them together.

But actually, it's much more than just a lowly paper clip, and the name doesn't do it justice - so we call it the "Super Clip". It's an excellent bookmark for journals, notebooks and books. It is small, easily handled and unobtrusive. Beyond that, you could use it to clip money or anything else flat that needs to be pinched together. You could also use it as a paper clip, but it's really too nice for that.

It's made of a super-smooth stainless steel; its grip is not too strong and not too weak and it will not mar or tear delicate papers like Tomoe River. Finally, it is very well made and you can use it over and over without wearing out its springy quality.

Call us crazy, but we are always looking for more ways to use these things!

Comes in packs of 10. Made in Japan.
