I’ve got a bunch of keys, but outside of that, I have my YMCA membership tag and a [Gerber Shard multitool](https://www.gerbergear.com/Activity/EVERYDAY/Tools/Shard-Keychain-Tool_22-01769) that I got in a combo set with a mini paraframe pocketknife for $5. Since I bought the set for the knife, which typically costs around $10, I figured I may as well put the “free” shard on the keychain since it may come in handy. ---

My library card tag, a bunch of discount store tags (some from stores that don’t exist anymore) and a blue plastic bracelet from Frozen so I can find the damn thin in my purse, or wear it when not carrying a purse. ---

My main key holder thing is a carabiner clip with a strap that says, “I (heart) My Boxer”. I also have a leather disc that my son tooled his initials onto when he was in 2nd grade. ---

A mini handcuff (thumbcuff?)and another keychain I got in this nifty little ex mining town in Ariz., called [Jerome](http://azjerome.com/jerome/). It’s a metal skeletal hand and a bead with the letter “J” on it. ---

My keys go everywhere I go, and I don’t like them bulky. I have the metal key ring with two keys attached: one for my car and one for my house. ---

One gym ID is all in addition to 2 keys (house, bike lock) and car fob. Several years ago I made a conscious effort to keep my keychain AND wallet as small as possible. ---

My smart key has a [Victorinox Gentlemen’s knife](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/images1500x1500/victorinox_56011_swiss_army_classic_knife_1298058.jpg), a [St. Jude medal](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/712jnlxYl1L._AC_UY600_.jpg) (because I donate to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital), and a [Keep Calm and Kill Zombies medal](https://i.etsystatic.com/18000146/d/il/0658e1/1773284186/il_340x270.1773284186_ruj9.jpg?version=0). ---

> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > I rock the classic eight-ball key chain … with just a fob hanging off it. I literally have no keys on my key chain. My car has a fob. That’s what hangs off my eight-ball. I have an attached garage with a door opener so that’s how I get into my house. I keep a key to the back door in the car in case the power goes out. ---

I’m another boring person with just a car fob and four keys. The fob is _gigantic_, so it ain’t like I need anything else on there for me to use to grab onto. ---

Until just a few minutes ago it was just the car key and the fob. I enter with the garage door opener in my car and knew that if power was out I could always get in through the old sliding door in the back. After reading this thread I remembered that we just replaced that door a few weeks ago and it now locks securely. I now have a car key, the fob and a house key. ---
