I browse around online a LOT (the proof is in the purchases! LOL) and every now and again, I find my eye drawn to something cute but not so functional for my lifestyle. However, when I came across Jimmy Pickles I knew I’d found something not only cute, but functional too! Enter the Wristlet Keychain!
What the wristlet keychain is is a key fob where you can hang your keys and a tough strap that you slip over your wrist so your keys don’t get away from you. I use mine for my car keys. I always find my hands full of things when I get out of the car or into the car and its so hard to look for keys and hang onto everything at the same time. The wristlet keychain makes it easier to locate keys and to ensure the keys don’t disappear after you have loaded the car – yes I’ve had that happen to me before too. I don’t keep it strapped on my hand though – that’s asking for trouble 😛
I picked mine out in an Asian inspired butterfly theme. The strap is a tough canvas overlaid with a strip of coloured material. I don’t know if its washable due to the metal on it, which is why I chose a darker color. It costs US$6.50 (RM23) on Jimmy Pickles and shipping to Malaysia cost US$3. It came quite quickly in the usual 10 days and the packaging was beautiful – I love the effort these online retailers take to present their products prettily. It also came with a roll of sweets which was well, sweet! 🙂
Stay beautiful,
Paris B

January 18, 2009 at 2:56 pmYou just said what’s my main problem too… always searching for keys whenever I need to enter a house and car too EVERYTIME!! My hands will be always full… (these shows that I got lots of stuffs and really loves shopping) *giggles*. I even lost the carkeys after loading into the car… gosh, I will frantically looking for it to get going….. This is not really safe for a lady especially you are in a carpark..
I resolved to keep all the keys into a small little pouch, so that I can easily locate it… but still the same problem but lesser, as I tried to remind myself… this is a new habit I should be following rather then making myself convenience…. *giggles* hmmm… maybe Jimmy Pickles can help….
lol

January 19, 2009 at 9:51 amHiya Nette, Oh yeah I always make sure my keys are in my hand by the time I get to my car – just to be safe. This comes in pretty handy especially when I have armloads of stuff in my hands.

It’s the BEST thing ever. This is bec when I get to my car, I have to get Connor into his car seat, put the shopping away and fold up our stroller and put that away in the car boot. I used to have to stuff my keys somewhere while doing all that and then forget where I’ve put them. The wristlet solved all my problems.
