Are you a victim of key scarcity? Do your keys just seem to grow legs and walk away, because that’s the only explanation for them not being exactly where you left them? What I’m trying to say is, I have a hard time keeping track of things, my keys in particular. Without fail, my keys are never where they were when I put them down five minutes ago. I’ve tried putting a whistling key finder on them, but it just never seems to work – largely due to the fact that I can’t whistle. So I got a key bowl. That didn’t work either because I just ended up misplacing the bowl as well. Do you know how many times I’ve had to get the locks changed on my place because I’ve lost the keys somewhere inside my apartment? Dave, the locksmith who has been married for 12 years with two children and has always dreamed of being a painter, assures me that it’s a very common occurrence.
The His and Hers Keyholders (Convenient Gadgets & Gifts, $18.00) are a perfect gift for someone like me who is unable to keep track of even the simplest of things, like a keychain. Available in both “His” and “Hers” designs, you can purchase them separately (same sex relationship friendly) or in a set (heteros only). The wall plate of your choice comes with a special key that you put on your keychain, which fit perfectly into the wall plate. Thus, all you have to do when you walk in the door is stick your key into the wall plate. Then you’ll always know exactly where your keys are, provided you can manage that first step. It is a tricky one.
This item lost one star based solely on pricing. I have no problem with the artsy price tag of $18, but I do have an issue with their bulk pricing. You can buy these babies as a set, and if you’re of the hetero couple persuasion, why not? I’ll tell you why not, because the set is $39.95. In case you’re a little rusty with math these days, 2 x $18 = $36, not $39.95 – tricky, tricky right there.
4 out of 5 stars.
