Keychains are no longer just for marketing purposes
Previously the boring domain of car dealers, estate agents and key cutters, the keychain was a simple branding device. Used as a marketing method for decades, you wouldn’t usually have thought twice about gifting a keychain to a special person. In fact, you probably have several of these marketing key chains around your home.
Your car salesman probably added his logo to your keychain when he handed over your new car. When you bought your new house your estate agent may have secretly snuck it onto the keys – or even proudly gifted their branded keychain to you. You’ve probably not thought about it twice, but their message is being put in front of you.

Our guide for selecting the perfect keychain for your female friend, partner or relative
Here are some tips on how to select the perfect keychain for your loved one:
Don’t use an existing design! You can buy key chains everywhere – in stores and online. So don’t pick any old, generic offering.
– Think about something meaningful to them. There is no point in getting someone a bottle holder keyring if they don’t drink alcohol! Photos, text quotes of something funny that happened in the past or little etchings will mean so much more.
– Match your personalised keyring to a special occasion. Birthdays or anniversaries offer the perfect opportunity for unique designs. But, don’t forget that it will be equally as valuable to just randomly gift one to a special someone too!
– Don’t go for cheap. There are plenty of keychain companies around, but be careful. Since your keyring is an everyday item that she will use, a poor quality item will not last long. We’ve seen examples of stickers peeling off (and they looked a little wonky to begin with), the chain rusting or even the whole thing snapping in half! Go for a quality piece to ensure longevity.
– Pick a provider that offers flexibility. So, look for a company that engraves for free, can fit in a lot of lines of text for that special quote, or can adapt a standard product for your own design.
– Let your artistic flair come out! Picking an individual keyring for a female friend or loved one allows you to get your creative side on! Don’t hold back, and go for something interesting and different.
