Lanyards And ID Badge Holders: The Perfect Gift For The Disorganized Loved One

We all know and love someone who is a little disorganized, forgetful, and klutzy. There’s an uncle, grandparent, cousin, parent, sibling, husband, or child that just can’t seem to keep things in order, put things where they can be found easily, or keep from tripping and dropping whatever they’re holding. If you do know someone who could use a little help, you should consider one of the following options for keeping your loved ones belongings safe and sound.

Lanyards

For those who don’t know; lanyards are lengths of ribbon or a beaded wire that is placed around the neck or wrist. Once there, lanyards can be clipped to ID badges, keys, and other odds and ends to keep them safe and in an easily accessible place. Lanyards can be purchased wholesale for businesses, or you can buy them from gift shops, online stores (the best place for beautiful beaded lanyards), bookstores, or at conferences. Lanyards can be clipped to any number of cool items, such as key chains, flash drives, glasses, chapstick, pens, or ID badges using special hooks, clips, and other fasteners that can be special ordered with the lanyard.

The lanyard is often used by nurses, teachers, students, athletes, and others who require having something within reach even when they aren’t wearing clothing with pockets.

ID Badge Holders

If your loved one works in a hospital, school, business with tight security, or a childcare facility, they most likely carry an ID badge that allows them to come and go without stiff security searches. They also probably lose that ID badge on a regular basis. A great gift for the badge loser in your life would be ID badge holders which clip securely to pockets, belts, collars, or lanyards. ID badge holders can be personalized with pictures, icons, or designs and can come with any number of accessory clips.

Also ID badge holders are perfect for people when travelling. Flying requires that you present your photo ID at almost every step in the journey. Placing your photo ID in an ID badge holder keeps it safely clipped to your lanyard or carry bag so that you can just present the ID without having to rummage through your purse or pocket every ten minutes. If your loved one loses their ID regularly, buying an ID holder for travelling would probably be a good idea.

Accessory Clips

Not only can your disorganized loved one benefit from these other items, but they can also benefit from the special clips and accessories available with the lanyard and the ID holder. If your loved one doesn’t carry ID but still needs to keep something from getting lost in transit, you can buy them clips for their iPods, glasses, keys, retainer, cellphone, meds container, or flash drive. It really is quite amazing the amount of things that someone can lose in minutes, but you can cut the incidences of lost items by helping them keep things within reach and securely tethered to their necks or pockets.
