What Keeps You from Leaving The House? REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Beets BLU Wireless Key Finder

Gone are the days where I could spend however long I wanted perfecting my makeup, hair and outfit look. When I would blast my favourite tunes and casually get ready to leave the house. When my main worry was that I had my matching lipgloss and lipstick in my handbag when I was on my way out.

I was in for a rude shock when Baby Girl was born. Sometimes we would leave the house 2 hours after we planned. Sometimes we wouldn't leave at all. For so many reasons; Poop explosions, instant hunger, crying, vomiting all over me, her or both, needing to get the changing bag sorted - nappies, bibs, wipes, muslins, spare clothes..... oh no she's just pooped again. Sound familiar?

Now Baby Girl is older thankfully things are a lot easier and while it's still a finely tuned operation to get out of the house, it's somewhat manageable. These days, the main thing that delays me from leaving the house is my extended baby brain (it's a real thing I promise - and hubby has it too!). I'm always forgetting where I'm putting my belongings. I think that comes from trying to do 50 things at any one time. My phone, my handbag, my keys. My keys are the number one culprit. If I had to add up the number of hours that either me or J have spent looking for keys just as we were about to leave the house it wouldn't be pretty.

When the lovely people at Beets BLU got in touch with me to review their PagerTag wireless bluetooth key finder I was ALL OVER IT! This little piece of technology was made for me. Keep reading to the bottom, I'm going to tell you what I think of it and then most importantly how to enter a giveaway to win your very own.



Here's how it works:
  • You need to have a compatible device - Android with Bluetooth Smart, iPhone 5, 4S, iPad3 and later (full list is available on their website)
  • Download the PagerTag app
  • Pair your device to your phone
  • If you can't find your keys you go into the app, click a button and an alarm will sound on your keys for you to find them. It's set up so you also get an alarm when the device goes out of range of your phone.

My verdict?

I was surprised just how small and light weight it is. It's super thin and weighs practically nothing so it slotted in very well with my keys and didn't add any bulk to it. I like to keep my key collection to a minimal so this was important to me.

The set up was easy. It's powered by a long life button battery. You just put it in a little slider and click it in to the device. It seems pretty secure but it made me feel a little nervous that a small child who was determined could potentially get access to it. Even if I don't remember where my keys are, I must remember to make sure they are not anywhere near where Baby Girl can access them.

I found the app really easily on the iPhone App store just by searching PagerTag and once I downloaded it I found it really simple to pair the PagerTag. I didn't need to read the instructions.

Once the device is paired you have loads of different options to customise your preference in the settings. By default I got an alarm every time the paper tag was out of bluetooth range on my phone which I found a bit annoying so I just switched it off.

At one point my device stopped working and it took me a little time to figure out the solution. I found some handy tips through the app itself (by this point I had lost the instructions) and it suggested I 'forget the device' through the bluetooth settings on my phone, take the battery out of the PagerTag for 1 minute to reset it and pair the device again. This worked straight away.

This handy device doesn't need to be limited to keys. You could keep it in your wallet, handbag. You could even attach it to your dogs collar!

You can purchase the PagerTag through Amazon and it's £20 which I think is great value for money.

I've tested this baby out for a week and so far so good. It works exactly as it's meant to and has saved me several times from the anxiety I get when I'm just about to leave the house and the keys are no where to be seen. I think this is quickly going to become a gadget that I couldn't be without.
