The Buckle Up Key Holder is selected as The Guardians 'Buy of the day'

"Today's buy comes from Thabto, whose design philosophy is "two heads are better than one". We couldn't agree more. This playful gadget, ideal for car lovers, uses seatbelt technology to ensure that your house and car keys are never lost again. It can be mounted to the wall in an appropriate place and offers a safe place for your keys. It's undoubtedly more convenient than down the back of the sofa or hidden in the wasteland that is the depths of your handbag."
