Where to Buy Key Chains
If you feel like your old, boring key chain just isn’t cutting it anymore, you might be wondering where you can buy something more interesting. Key chains are a lot more than just a thing that holds your keys together these days; you can purchase ones that can entertain you when you’re feeling bored, that can express your own personal style, or even lift your spirits. Pick up one that will pop the cap off your beer bottle, then grab another one that will warn you if you’ve had too many. The variety of interesting and functional key chains is quite staggering, but here are some good places to start.
Gadget Key Chains
At Amazon.com, you’ll find a huge selection of electronic key chains that do everything from taking photos to storing and displaying them. The 300K mini digital camera by Zina may be small and thin, but it’s big on functionality. Not only does it take photos, it can also act as a camera for your computer. Once you’ve taken the photos, store them on one of these cool animal series USB drives from AMTEC. The sea turtle, penguin, clownfish, panda, and more hold 4 GB worth of data. Finally, display them on a digital photo key chain like the one from Coby, available in black, blue, red, or white. Never get lost again with Ecco’s GPS key chain or make sure you’re never without your music with the MP3 player-compatible mini speaker cube key chain by DCI Products.
