This key holder was inspired by the iconic 50s Phrase ‘Honey I'm Home!’ and is truly adorable. A designer duo from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Luz Cabrera and Malorie Pangilinan, created the [home hardware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petra) as a literal interpretation of the phrase.

By mixing the aspects of entering a home with honey-inspired designs, the designers created the aptly titled 'Honey I'm Home!' key holder. The key holder is a wall mount that resembles a honeycomb. It also comes with [matching keychains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solecito-carrier-charm) that fit in the hexagonal honeycomb cells.

The artists believe that the 50s phrase “drew images of the American Dream and being able to come home after a long day.” In turn, their keychains represent bees returning to the beehive after a long day of work too.
