I am an absolute nut for anything shiny. You should know that about me. If it shines, I am interested. I like shiny metal, too. So, when carabiners hit the market, I got VERY excited! Shiny metal with branding! What could be better than that?
Nowadays, you can get a carabiner in any size, shape, or color with many different options for each. You can get large carabiners, small carabiners. Fish shaped, horse shaped, star, house, heart shaped. The new shape is the awareness ribbon. Carabiners can come with split-ring key ring or key ring with strap. My personal favorite? I love the carabiner with the flashlight. It is the epitomy of great ideas. Now, I can take any of these shapes and get the color I want, as well.
When a customer calls looking for a new idea, I can't wait to talk about carabiners! They are inexpensive and serve such a great purpose. They can hold anything and you can certainly have more than one.
They even make for a different kind of wedding favor.
You can add your water bottle to the carabiner and of course, don't forget your iPod carabiner. If you are into outdoor activity, you know all about carabiners.
The carabiner has been around for a while--1906. You can check out the history of the carabiner and the early patent info.
Whatever the need, you can find a carabiner to fit that need--and people like them.
