Keeping keys and other items organized can be frustrating, especially if you tend to misplace things. With a little extra work, you can make it easy to find your belongings at a moment’s notice.
One of the best ways to stop losing your keys is to keep them on a keychain or in a specific spot at home. Whether it’s on a hook or bowl, having a designated space for your keys can help prevent them from falling off the hook and getting lost in the house.

2. Smaller Purses
The best part about a smaller purse is you can use it to store all your day-to-day essentials like credit cards, cash and even your keys. Thankfully, there are plenty of options on the market that will save you from having to dig for your wallet in your pocket every time you leave the house.
For starters, custom keychains with a fancy lock will be a surefire way to protect your belongings from curious hands. But if you need to access your keys at all times, a multi-function keychain is the way to go. For example, a titanium keychain with a key ring, an ad-hoc bottle opener and a pry bar is a surefire way to keep your hands free.
In fact, this is a must-have accessory in any woman’s arsenal. It may also be the most important keychain you own, if you’re one of those people who carry around a handful of knick knacks at a time.
Luckily, the online world is littered with options. Whether you’re in the market for something as simple as a keychain or looking for a gizmo to wrangle your tech, you’ll find it here.
3. Electronic Trackers
There are many ways you can keep track of your valuables, but an electronic key finder is a great way to make sure you never lose them again. These gadgets use a variety of technologies to track your missing items and alert you when they’re near.
These tracking devices work with GPS and Bluetooth technology to send notifications about their location directly to your phone or compatible app. They can also ring to help you locate your missing keys.
Some trackers even let you keep tabs on the whereabouts of other important items. They’re small enough to slip in your purse or attach to a key chain.
They can also help you find your children when they’re lost, whether it’s in the mall or on a family trip. Most of these devices can be programmed to send a text message or email when your child gets too far away from home.
Another great thing about these devices is that they’re generally inexpensive and easy to use. The only downside is that you can’t always trust your tracker to report back to you when it’s in range of other wireless signals.
You should be able to use these devices for anything you want to track, but they’re especially useful for parents and loved ones who may be prone to getting lost or finding themselves in dangerous situations. They also can be used to monitor a car or other vehicle, providing an excellent means of checking that the driver is following safety regulations and ensuring they are on the right route at all times.
While these trackers aren’t cheap, they’re worth the investment for the peace of mind they can provide. They can save you time, money and a lot of embarrassment when you can’t find your keys or other essentials.
4. Lanyards
Lanyards are an essential accessory for anyone who needs to carry something around their neck, such as keys or a work badge. These straps can be customized in a wide variety of ways and come in all shapes and sizes. They are also a great option for businesses looking to promote their brand.
Tradespeople such as plumbers and carpenters often carry tools from job to job and need a way to keep track of their items. These lanyards can help them to save time by not having to stop and retrieve their tools each time they need them.
For example, a lanyard that hangs from the wrist can help people avoid dropping a tool they need when working at heights. This can be a safety hazard and could potentially cause damage to their tools.
Church leaders and clergy don’t often wear lanyards when officiating, but they rely on them during mission trips or church camps to help their congregations remember their pastor’s name. Likewise, restaurant servers and waitresses rely on ID lanyards to help customers know their name so they can serve them properly.
Teachers, sports coaches, and lifeguards also rely on ID lanyards to ensure they can keep their students safe at school and in the community. They can easily display their name and ID card on their lanyards to make it easier for students to recognize them and understand which class they should be in.
Similarly, students can be more comfortable with their teachers and know who to ask for help in case they need it. A friendly lanyard that displays the teacher’s name and a brightly-coloured ID card can put students at ease when they go to school.
5. Key Rings
Key rings are a simple yet effective way to organize your keys. These small accessories come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. They are typically circular and can easily fit into your wallet or purse.
These keychains also make great gifts for anyone you know who has a hard time keeping track of their keys. You can add a name, date, or even a picture of your favorite pet to personalize them for your friends and family.
There are many different types of key rings, but the most common is a double-loop piece of metal wire with one end pried open so that a key can slide into it. These are usually available in several different colors and are lightweight and durable.
Besides being a great way to keep your keys organized, key rings are also a fun way to show off your personality. If you have a love of plants, why not sport this adorable monstera leaf chain?
You can even get creative with your keys with a simple key ring craft like this contrast-lined cuff. All you need is some fabric scraps and a sewing machine to whip up a set of unique cuffs that look just as good on your keys as they do on your wallet or purse.
Another cute craft option is this tassel keyring made from frayed rope. This simple project takes little more than a length of rope and some pretty coordinating beads or charms. It’s a simple craft to whip up, and a great gift for a friend or loved one.
Another easy way to add some personality to your acrylic keychain is to create a personalized printed keychain with photos, designs, and messages of your own. This is a wonderful way to remember your loved ones, pets, and more!
