Wow, Santa really loves me - I now own the absolute coolest keyring! What's funny is that I saw something similar on Kickstarter a while back and thought, "I could really use something like this ..."

I've been asking for a Leatherman for years, but no one will buy me one as a gift (I can easily buy my own, but I want to be gifted one for some reason. I don't know why ... I guess we all just want to feel royally pampered sometimes ...) Regardless, I've wanted to carry a Leatherman or a pocket knife for years (carrying pocket knives was a part of my Southern childhood, and I have one of my grandfather's knives - it's just not for everyday carry, too sentimental you know).

Where was I ...

So yeah, I'm always trying to MacGuyver my way through life because I never have a tool on me. Until now. Now I have the ULTIMATE KEYRING.

It's taken me a while to get it. I live on a small island off the coast of Denmark, and our postal service is limited to just a few hours each day Monday - Friday. I am rarely home when the post is open, so I sometimes am late getting parcels, and this time was no exception - it took me almost two weeks before I could find someone to pick it up for me.

And I am so glad she did, because this thing is just PERFECT for me and will make a great accompaniment to my eventual Leatherman and pocket knife ...

What makes this thing so cool? I knew I was in for a treat when I opened the Amazon packaging and saw what was inside - the box alone is very high quality with great graphics (I'm a creative in an agency and I deal with packaging a lot - so I can tell how much consideration and cost went into the packaging design.) And, I'm one of those people that save boxes that items come in, if it is a good quality - and this is going into the collection.

This badass has everything a guy needs - A freaking TELESCOPIC PEN with three (3!!!) ballpoint refills. - A KEY TOOL with 8 tools (bottle opener, nail file and cleaner, screwdrivers, tweezers.) - A CASH HOLDER (sadly, cash not included according to the packaging ...) Isn't it handy to have an emergency cash stash? I almost never have cash on me which is most frustrating when stopping at a roadside kiosk or tipping an escort ...

It's freaking awesome, it really is! I love this kind of stuff and I am so thankful that my santa tried to figure me out a bit when choosing the gift.

To all of the Santas out there, particularly mine: thanks for making the gift exchanges so fun!!!
