Hippo Shaped Paper Clips | Custom Decorative Paper Clips for Wildlife, Zoo & Kids Gifts (1 dozen)

Hippo Shaped Paper Clips feature a chunky, adorable hippo silhouette with a big round body and friendly eyes, half-submerged as if happily floating in a river. These charming decorative paper clips bring a perfect mix of playful cuteness and gentle strength, instantly adding warmth and personality to any stack of papers.

A family zoo in Singapore used our custom paper clips as part of their children’s educational activity packs and souvenir gifts. The feedback was fantastic. The education officer told us: “The hippo clips were a huge hit with both kids and parents. Children kept saying ‘My papers have a hippo friend now!’ — they made learning about African animals so much more fun and memorable.”

Another story comes from a corporate team in Germany organizing an Africa-themed team-building event. The HR manager shared: “These decorative paper clips brought so much joy to our event materials. Many colleagues took them home and still have these shaped paper clips on their desks as a cheerful reminder of the day.”

Something fascinating about this is that despite their cute and bulky appearance, hippos are considered one of the most powerful and territorial animals in Africa. They can run surprisingly fast on land and secrete a natural reddish “sunscreen” from their skin — a wonderful symbol of hidden strength and natural protection.

These custom paper clips combine everyday practicality with lovable charm and quiet power — ideal for zoos, wildlife lovers, children’s education, Africa-themed events, safari brands, or anyone who wants to add a touch of playful strength and joy to their workspace and gifts.

We also specialize in custom paper clips of any other shape, size, color, or finish. Contact us today for your unique hippo or wildlife-themed project!
