バディ

The little whale charm has been on my keys for a month now and it still makes me smile every time I grab them. It's a small thing, but the idea of having a buddy along on the commute actually sticks with you.

I clipped Buddy to my backpack while traveling solo through Nova Scotia, and it genuinely made the long stretches feel less lonely. Knowing it's meant to echo how whales stay close to their companions across entire oceans gives it a weight that a plain keychain wouldn't have.

Bought this to clip on my hiking pack and it's held up fine through a few trips, though the lobster clasp is a bit stiff to open. The whale shape is cute without being cheesy.
