Chipolo, a very useful Valentine’s day gift.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I am sure there will be lots of ‘panic buys’ in the next couple of weeks! Get yourself organised this year and order your other half a Chipolo. No, this is not another fancy type of sausage! Every one of us could benefit from having a couple of these tags, especially myself.

Ask my husband and he will agree, I am forever losing my phone and my car keys. Almost every day I have to search for one or the other. However, no more! I have a Chipolo tag attached to my keys and am planning on getting one for my phone as well.

With Chipolo your phone, keys or anything else will be easily found when they manage to hide themselves in a coat pocket, under a pile of post or anywhere else elusive. Simply attach the Chipolo tag and download the app. You can have notifications sent to you if the item leaves a certain range – I am thinking this would be extremely useful if you were with young children in a crowded place as well as for your phone and keys!

You can also keep your Chipolo on your key-ring and simply shake it to find whatever item you have this set up for – mine would have to be my iPhone and iPad as I am truly lost without them.

The Chipolo is small so it would easily clip onto your key-ring or attach to your phone or any other small item you use and need regularly. The colour choices are fab so there is no compromising on your style either.

I have had my Chipolo for a couple of weeks now and have to say I love it. It has made a huge difference to me, I am no longer getting frustrated while wasting time looking for my phone. I can’t wait to build up my collection and get one for my husband’s keys and my daughters phone as well. My son is always asking ‘Mum, where is my tablet?’ – maybe the creators of  Chipolo should think of selling multipacks!!

For further information on how this useful little tag can help in your busy life visit www.chipolo.net . There is loads of info on the site as well as a great little video clip.

I would have estimated something like this would cost around £35 and I consider myself a bit of a ‘whizz’ at estimating prices. However, I was wrong! The Chipolo retails at only £19.
