The Giving Keys: Review
I was introduced to The Giving Keys range by the lovely people over at Fabulous jewellers a couple of months back now and I straight away fell in love with the idea behind these keys and that is the reason I want to share them with you today.
The Giving Keys were originally thought up by Caitlin Crosby, she was wearing her hotel room keys round her neck while on tour, when she realised we are all a little like those keys unique, flawed, scarred, and sometimes discarded by others. So she started engraving old keys with inspirational words giving them purpose again and again.
The Giving Keys also aim to help those who are homeless by employing them during their transition.
The idea behind gifting a The Giving Keys necklace is you choose a sentiment, be it Fear Less, Let Go, Love, Dream or Inspire just to name a few, that the recipient needs to hear at the time, to remind them they are being thought about and they can achieve what they need to.
Of course one day you may not need to keep that reminder so close and you may find someone who needs to remember it more and then the idea is you gift it onto them. So they can hold it close as you once did and that, to me, is what makes this such an amazing idea. This isn’t just an interesting looking necklace, it has real meaning behind it as well.
As the keys used for The Giving Keys are all re-purposed and then hand stamped, not one of them is quite the same to the next and if you don’t like the style of key I have, I am sure you will find out which is better suited to you after all how many different types of keys are out there.
I was kindly gifted the “Strength” key, which comes on a brass chain of 27 inches in length and has an RRP of £25. If this particular length or size of key isn’t right for you there are other options, including a dainty key and gold chain as well as bracelets to be chosen from.
Personally I think The Giving Key are such a great idea and I can see myself gifting them to friends and family when the chance arises.
To see the whole range of fabulous stock of The Gifting Key pop over to their website now.
What do you think of The Gifting Key and the idea behind it?

That’s an interesting idea, I love key necklaces anyway those ever worked
I love keys, it feels like they all have stories to tell so this is right up my street, love it.
It’s always lovely to have, or give, jewellery that has a bit of history and purpose to it. o much more interesting!
That is a beautiful idea and I love it. I wish they would have something like this here I would truly support it.
Ooh love the look, the concept and that they are helping people get back on their feet – total winner!
I love this idea, so unique it’s one I won’t forget for a while!
Totally love these, will definitely be checking out the website. Thanks for posting, it’s because of people like you we get to see these kind of things that we probably would never see or hear about.
Aww thank you so much 🙂 – they have a great website, if your in the US then you can buy from The Giving Keys directly as well as they are based in LA I think it is. x
I love the idea behind these! I would love the one that says FEARLESS on it.
I think these are a great idea, sometimes all you need is someone behind you to achieve all you can, these show others care
I totally love the concept behind these .. if I’m honest i am not sure i would wear it .. but a lovely keepsake
I think that’s one of the great things about it though, you don’t have to wear it, you could hang it somewhere you can see it or just keep it in draw. x
I have to say I love the giving keys. It would make a wonderful gift for youngsters. I know my daughter would love it.
These would make a great gift for Christmas, it is such a unique idea. They look great!
Wonderful idea!! For the price of them, I would hope most of it goes towards a charity.
I love the idea behind this! Really want to invest in one for myself.
These are wonderful! Love how they provide jobs for the homeless! x
I think this is a brilliant idea – I had a quick nose at the website, and I am torn between ‘Believe’ and ‘Dream’. Actually, both together might be good!
There’s so many I love – some really great word choices. x
I’m trying to think who I’d gift one to.
What a fabulous idea – I love that the project both helps the homeless but is also actually a great gift idea for someone who needs some strength/belief/wise words x
Such a wonderful idea she came up with. Very nice idea for a unique gift x
This is such a fab idea. I already wear a key on a chain (From love lock bridge padlock), however I love the idea of having a special key.
What a lovely idea and they look great too – I love the thought of the story behind old things!
The Giving Key is a fantastic idea. It would make an amazing gift for the Holidays. I will have to get one for my Daughter.
Oh wow, what a lovely idea and really interesting concept. I think strength epitomises you x
Wow this sounds like a really lovely concept. I think it’s great, and I’d for sure wear one.
This sounds like such a great idea and I love the concept of passing it on to someone else who made need that particular reminder.
I do like the concept but not sure I would wear one
I think this is a great gift idea. This can help inspire people. And when it has done its purpose, it can be passed on to others.
These bring back childhood memories, we were raised in Communist Romania and were actually called “the generation of chained key’ children” as we were most of the time wearing one around our necks, to let ourselves inside the house, as all our parents worked long hours.xx
What a great idea. I really love it.
What a lovely, thoughtful idea. These keys are great! xxx
This is a perfect gift idea. I love it!
What a great concept. I love the idea of a key that helps me to unlock whatever it is I need to bring into my life at the moment and then when it has served its purpose for me I can pass it on to someone else who need help to unlock that quality in their life.
I love the idea behind it. Such a great concept.
Totally love this concept. It would be perfect for the husbeasts secret santa gift. LOVE it
Oh my, I love these what a wonderful and unique gift, lovely review. X
I love things like this – and love the story with The Giving Keys. Lovely gift idea. Kaz x
Now this is such a lovely and meaningful idea, so many meanings for something so worthwhile x
These are so sweet. They’d make great gifts and I love that they help out people in need.
I love this idea! These necklaces are so unique and I love their meaning.
You chose the right key because you are strong woman who has courage beyond many women today. You have been through so much and appear so selfless that this key will open the door to your success. You have a wonderful blog and pets who love you for who you are and your readers who see you as an icon x
What a unique gift idea – I love it and I love the fact that homeless people make them. Great find.
A great gift and a great reminder. Perfect for a child leaving home for the first time.
I think we need more gifts like this in the world. There are so many people out there who need help.
What a wonderful gift idea! And just in time for the holidays.
I have always loved key jewellery and I have a few key necklaces 🙂
I LOVE this idea! I always love keys, in general, but these are so meaningful. Going to check them out right now!
What a great idea I have never heard of this before x
Awwww, I LOVE this idea! So simple and unique, yet so thoughtful. xx
What an awesome idea! Just had a look at their website and I like ‘believe’ 🙂
If it helps the homeless then it gets a thunbs up from me, not something I would personally wear though x
What a great concept this is. I love it and totally want one now.
I absolutely love this idea! Such a unique and meaningful gift x
Wow, what a great concept.
I love it!
Off to look at the website now.. There’s something special about keys I think.
