In combination a holder for an object and a console for a vehicle comprises a first groove formed on a planar surface of the console for receiving an object such as a writing instrument therein, a second groove formed in the console adjacent to the first groove, and a clip removably secured in the second groove and extending over the first groove for retaining the object in the first groove. The clip is preferably composed of a flexible, resilient material such as rubber, the second groove is elongate, and the clip is slidable along the second groove. Further, the second groove is preferably defined in the console at an incline relative to a surface of the console such that the upper portion of the clip projects a varying amount above the console as the clip is slid along the second groove such that different sized objects may be held thereby. Still further, the console preferably includes a projecting sidewall adjacent the second groove, and the projecting sidewall engages a face of the clip for stabilizing the clip.
