What could this possibly be?
It’s a wrist band that hides your house key, or car key, or any key you want to keep on you while you are out running, riding a bike, walking the dog, at the gym, etc.
From Gokey:
Gokey is not only stylish but serves a purpose. While there are many work arounds for storing keys, none of them offer a worry free experience. Gokey alleviates this running stressor and brings peace of mind to your jog.
The key is easy to insert and is fully concealed when the bracelet is closed so no one needs to know your wrist band’s secret. The sleek, modern design makes gokey easy to wear when working out or from day to day. The silicone rubber is sweat proof, flexible, stretchy, and resistant to wear.
The closure of Gokey is one of the most exciting features. The key itself acts as the initial closure for the bracelet with the friction between the key and the silicone creating a secure connection. For added security the “go” logo creates a button closure so the wrist band isn’t going anywhere.
Gokey can hold one key at a time. The internal cavity fits most standard house, lock, and locker keys. Keys up to 2.25 inches (5.7cm) long and with a head size 1 inch (2.5cm) across or smaller fit comfortably into the cavity.
We tested many key styles with Gokey. The most common house keys are #66 and #68 (the two on the left). If you find either of these numbers on your keys you are good to go. If you have a different kind of key, check this image to see what we have tested. There are thousands of keys out there so we couldn’t possibly test them all but go by the measurements and you will be fine.
They come your choice of blue or red, in three sizes, and you can purchase directly from getgokey.com for $14.99. I can think of five people right off the bat that are getting one of these for Christmas!

Nothing better than an easy slow cooker recipe. Well, having someone take you out to eat would be good. Having someone cook for you and then clean up the mess after would be better. We all know that’s not going to happen so let’s just enjoy this recipe I found from Parade Magazine.
Slow Cooker Peanut Butter Chicken
- 1 (4-lb) whole chicken*, rinsed (giblets, etc. removed)
- ½ cup crunchy peanut butter (unless you prefer creamy)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- 3 Tbsp water
- 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- chopped peanuts for serving, optional
- chopped chives for garnish,, optional
DIRECTIONS
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, water and garlic. Pour over the chicken. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Cook until the internal temperature of the leg is at 160 degrees F.
-
Remove the chicken to a cutting board, slice and serve with a spoonful of the sauce in the slow cooker. If you wish to thicken up the sauce, wrap the chicken in foil to rest, spoon some of the sauce into a saucepan and whisk in 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Heat over medium, stirring, until the sauce thickens. This chicken is especially good over steamed rice. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over individual servings, and top with a sprinkle of peanuts and chives, if desired.
*You can also prepare this recipe using skinless chicken thighs. Boneless chicken breasts tend to dry out in the slow cooker, so I’d avoid using those.
