It’s fair to say that keychains are such commonly used items, we often take them for granted. But considering they safely hold the most important keys we carry around, their value is often understated and overlooked.

Gift ideas that are practical can often provide the most inspiration, due to their simplicity and usefulness. So when you can add your own personal touches to everyday items, finding inspiration becomes far easier when you know they will serve a purpose, and be genuinely appreciated by the individual you have in mind.
