A Geekey multi-tool, which looks impressive at first glance, but functions as deep breath a coring tip, serrated edge, can opener, wire stripper, smoking pipe, file, imperial and metric ruler, protractor, bottle opener, multi-head fit driver, lanyard hole, bike spoke key, screw driver tip, wrench, and bit driver all at once.

All they have to do is connect the Tile Mate to the Tile app on their phone, and if they misplace something, the app will find it in a snap (and even make the Tile Mate “ring” so they’ll be able to hear it under the bed where the cat has hidden it — big mood).
