This post is as Ronseal as they come. Some people have got hold of several real business cards from Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and other personalities. These are all old details so don’t bother trying to write down their phone numbers and giving them a call. Besides, we already tried that. (Fubiz)

Thought I am not sure how long I could handle having this Masakage Tanno wooden business card holder in my denim pocket, I am sure it will be a serious conversation piece when delivering my deets to a visitor in the the office. “Made from Japanese Oak or Padouk, each case has a magnet embedded in the wood to close them shut. The hinges and detailing are of Ebony.” Each is available for a reasonable 85$US.

Ma Blanche (French for "My White") is a very simple but yet genius idea – blank business cards. At first it might sound like it does not make sense, but we love the idea for several reasons.

First of all, how many times do you meet somebody, need to exchange business cards, but you do not want to give that person your phone number, email and address? Ma Blanche lets you choose. You give away every time exactly as much information as you want. Also we like the idea of the personal touch that every card gets. It might not be ideal for your next tradeshow visit, but for personal occasions it is perfect.

Also, you finally get a good reason to pull out that Montblanc pen of yours once in a while!
