Keys play an important role in our lives. Whether it's for unlocking a door, starting a car, opening a mailbox, or a variety of other uses, keys are held by all of us at some point throughout the day.
Dressing up those keys with one or more keychains has been a tradition since the 19th century, when Canadian politician Samuel Harrison invented the keyring. They quickly became popular as a way to conveniently carry keys around. Animal keychains are particularly enticing for animal lovers as it's a way for them to express their love for a certain species every single day.
Furry And Not-So-Furry Friends Dogs and cats are the most common household pets, so it's no wonder why these types of keychains are favored among animal lovers. Even if you can't take your dog or cat along with you as you go about your day, a reminder of them will always be attached to your keys.
Reptiles and aquatic animals are also well-liked among keychain enthusiasts. Turtles, fish, snakes, and whales are all excellent keychain choices. If you know someone that has love for a particular type of animal, a keychain of that animal is always a wonderful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and even weddings.
Good Luck Charms Some people believe that keychains are good luck charms. Rabbit foot keychains, in particular, are believed to bring good luck to their owners. The belief dates back to 600 B.C., when rabbits were thought to have magical powers because of their ability to burrow underground. It was thought that this meant they could communicate with spirits, so a rabbit's foot was carried around as a way to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.
Today, people often carry keychains that hold a special meaning for them. They may feel that by carrying a particular keychain, good luck will come to them. It's superstitious to some, but a keychain can hold a lot of significance for people that believe that material things can bring positive energy.
