How many times do you (or someone you live with) lose your keys? What about mail? Have you ever missed an important piece of mail because whoever picked it up today simply left it on the table and you never saw it? Even if you go the route of a table by the door, you’re probably still forced to dig around every so often. Save the furniture, the hooks in the wall and your time by investing in Wallplates Functional Light Switch Covers. Dreamt up by a product designer in San Francisco, Wallplates centralize storage for your keys, mail, cell phone and anything else that will fit on a hook or in a slot by replacing your standard light switch wallplate. The flimsy pieces of plastic designed to hide your light switch wiring just don’t cut it with options like the Hook and Envelope from Wallplates. The swap is so simple you don’t even need power tools.
