When we started to make our home smarter we looked for other gadgets that could help us. When I learned about our partner, Chipolo Bluetooth Item Finder, I knew this was something we needed.
Efficiency is the name of the game around here. Pete and I are always looking for ways to stop wasting time and to be more efficient. It’s the little time drains that add up in the end, like looking for your keys, or trying to find your wallet. I don’t know how we manage to always misplace the car keys, but it happens weekly, if not even more often. That’s a lot of wasted time (and frustration) that could be spent on more fun things, like family time.
Losing our keys is a thing of the past for us now that we each have a Chipolo Bluetooth Item Finder on our keys. We’ve been testing them out for a few days now and we are both really happy with how well they work and how easy they are to use. You just download the new Chipolo App (available for IOS and Andriod), attach the Chipolo to your keys and you are good to go. If you can’t find your keys you just use the app on your phone to ring the Chipolo call and follow the sound.
We also learned that it works the opposite way too. You can shake your connected Chipolo and your phone will ring, even if it’s on silent! If you lose your phone far away, Chipolo can help with that too. Just login to the Chipolo website app and you can see its last known location, make it ring, or send it a lock-screen message.
Since Pete and I share keys with each other we were able to share the Chipolo. We can both track the same Chipolo on each of our phones at the same time.
We’ve also added it to our cats collar to find her newest hiding places. The girls had a lot of fun with that.
Another fun feature of the Chipolo is you can point your phone camera at you and shake your Chipolo to take a #ChipoloSelfie. This is going to come in handy on our next trip.
I love that it comes in nine colors and looks more like a fashion accessory than a piece of technology. It is sleek and really helps us with our day to day life.

I never lose my keys because we have a place we put them as soon as we walk in the house. This is brilliant, though!
I need one of these in the worst way, actually my husband does. The time we spend looking for keys is unreal.
Oh my goodness do I need this! I am so absentminded when it comes to where I put my keys!
I definitely need this! I always seem to be misplacing everything. This would be a lot more helpful too.
This is awesome! This morning I couldn’t find my keys, and they were still in my front door from when I came home the previous night! Yikes! I need something like this to keep me organized.
That would be perfect for me. I need to losing my phone or my keys or even my purse. I’m pretty sure I lose my head if it wasn’t attached LOL.
That is absolutely fantastic! I’m the world’s worst key loser. I need SEVERAL of those.
As a frequent traveler I always get that sinking feeling when I leave a hotel room and head to the airport. Am I missing something? Why do I feel like I’m missing something? I think I have everything….
Seems like a Chipolo or five is exactly what I need to put my mind at ease.
That’s a great idea Michael. We travel a lot too. I think we will bring ours with us too!
I so need this!! I am always mis placing my keys and my wallet it seems!! What a great app!
I am awful at keeping track of my keys, constantly loosing them! This sounds like something I need to add to my key chain!
My husband and I could use these! He loses his keys on a daily basis. Can it find my sanity too??
I misplace all kinds of things and so does my son and daughter. We could definitely use this to help us keep track of those important things!
Oh my gosh, I love, love, LOVE this! We are constantly losing thing like our keys, my husband’s wallet, his glasses … this would be perfect. We got something to help us locate these items but then lost the device that would help us track them lol. This is perfect since it is an app on our phone … ya know, one of those things that is always within 2 feet of us. Perfect!
It’s amazing how far technology has come. I think everyone should invest in these.
I could totally use this for my car keys! I’m ALWAYS losing them, and freaking out. This would definitely make my life a lot easier!
I need these for everything my husband owns. He can never find his keys, his wallet, or his glasses. Apparently, he doesn’t like my suggestion to leave them all in the same place every time.
Chipolo sounds like a fantastic product. I need to order a dozen of them for my family. I am always losing my keys.
This is such a great way to find your misplaced items. I need to pick up Chipolo tags and put one on my keys.
My husband got me a similar product once but I then lost the part that helped me find the keys!
Ha ha my problem is I always loose my phone! My keys do go missing from time to time too though!
This sounds like a cool device. I would love to give this to my sister who keeps losing her car keys.
What brilliant device! This would be very helpful in my household! My eldest son always misplaces his keys, I have to get a couple of this.
I was thinking to myself, Well what if you lose your phone? lol But that question was quickly answered! What a great product that has all its basses covered! Thank you for sharing!
This is by far one of the most functional apps!! I know I could use one of these…especially to find my car keys! 😉
I absolutely love that it can be use both to find your phone or to find you keys! I’m always misplacing my phone in the house lol
The hubs and I should have this because we always forget about where we put our keys. 🙂 The hubs would be delighted once he sees this.
