<p>If you grew up in the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s, you probably remember Acrylic Clips. And no, I don&#8217;t mean for your hair! Sometimes called Chip Clips, these do much more than simply keep your snacks fresh. These can adhere nearly any two flat objects together, and as such, come in quite handy in and around the desk. Here&#8217;s a cute Donald Duck design — <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1270553256/vintage-donald-duck-chip-clip-magnet-by?ga_order=most_relevant&;ga_search_type=vintage&;ga_view_type=gallery&;ga_search_query=chip+clip&;ref=sr_gallery-1-2&;pro=1&;frs=1&;organic_search_click=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="positioned as a ";rare find";">positioned as a &#8220;rare find&#8221;</a> — that I just found on Etsy. Look at that dapper fellow, getting *so* much work done!</p>

<p>These babies are starting to make something of a gift and stationery come back, as the <a href="https://ilootpaperie.patternbyetsy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="ILOOTPAPERIE">ILOOTPAPERIE</a> sisters were thrilled to discover. &#8220;Doris in particular was very excited to develop this category,&#8221; Alice told me. &#8220;We still have one of the acrylic clips, of a little cow, from our childhood. When we saw this category start to show up more — it definitely evoked a strong sense of nostalgia!&#8221;</p>



<p>Those from this sister-owned California house of design have a medium grip ideal for light clipping duties like holding a page in your journal, lightly clasping letters together, or saving those tasty pretzels to enjoy later. </p>



<p>The biggest challenge here is deciding which little face you most prefer peeking back at you. Most likely, there is far more emotion here than you were expecting. Perhaps that Happy Pencil really speaks to you, or maybe you are gravitating toward that Surprised Sandwich? </p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-83821" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-83821 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="83821" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-10014712 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-blackwing tag-book-checklists tag-design tag-east-bay-booksellers tag-farrah-penn tag-free-period-press tag-greeting-cards tag-lizze-schlafter tag-mikey-burton tag-sarah-schwartz tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-club tag-stationery-club-subscription-box tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-thank-you-stationery tag-the-ripped-bodice" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/book-by-book-on-paper/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1 100w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=120%2C120&;ssl=1 120w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=275%2C275&;ssl=1 275w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=372%2C372&;ssl=1 372w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=567%2C567&;ssl=1 567w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=300%2C300&;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?resize=50%2C50&;ssl=1 50w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cozy-Reads-Checklist_Free-Period-Press_4-Style.jpg?zoom=2&;resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1 200w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/book-by-book-on-paper/">Book by Book, on Paper</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2023-12-05T20:41:02+00:00">December 5, 2023</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10014712"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>
