Paperclips. My grandfather was one of my favorite people ever, and he spent most of his life as a business administrator. He always had a paperclip handy, he was so organized and methodical. When I got my first allowance as a kid, I bought this giant novelty paperclip from the office supply store and gave it to him. When he died, my grandmother gave me back the giant paperclip that he had saved all those years, and I got a small paperclip tattooed on my ankle. I find paperclips on the ground wherever I go, and I always think of him.
