In the lead up to Father’s Day I wanted to share some gift ideas that are a little ‘outside the box’ and the Pelican Clip from H.L. Human is the first on my list. If your dad likes his keys to be organised while maintaining a minimalist yet sleek and stylish appearance than this might be the present for him.

Pelican Clip

The Pelican Clip is only just bigger than a standard key and is has a 3mm thickness which gives it good proportions. It is available in solid steel or brass making it solid, reliable and sturdy. The Pelican clip sits well in a belt loop and doesn’t feel like you’re going to lose your keys, torches, etc. throughout the day. The hook also grabs on to pockets, shirts and any other material you stick between it making it very versatile. Thanks to it genius design it is easy to use and manoeuvre to slide on and off with one hand, this has been repeatedly proven with my work keys where I lock on and off equipment around 50 times per day.

Another thing I love (and so will you!) is that it’s budget friendly and more than affordable; Stainless steel ($11 USD) or Brass ($16 USD). Mr C loves it and says it looks good and most importantly it’s manly. The only thing I didn’t like was the split ring felt a little  flimsy however this is far from a deal breaker for me as I just changed it to a smaller stronger one; if you’re going to add it to your favourite key ring it won’t matter at all. Check out the full range on H.L. Human website here or their stationary site Nock Co.

Father’s day is making its way back around again (seriously where has this year gone?) and sometimes a little inspiration for dads gifts can not come quick enough. Every dad is different which means the standard socks and jocks or #1 Dad key ring / mug won’t be every dads cup of tea so you may be in search of something a little unique and more to his tastes. In the Father’s Day gift guide 2014 below you will find a range of products in a variety of price ranges that will have your dad, husband and/or grandpa jumping out of his seat (maybe help grandpa up so he doesn’t get hurt).
