Not only will they be able to [manage their cords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wirestax), they will do so in a fun way. An easy do-it-yourself project, all that is required to make the LEGO Key & Cable Holder is a LEGO brick, plate and, of course, a Minifig of one's choice. Secured to a desk using an adhesive of some sort, the brick and Minifig are attached to the plate to be used for the keys and cords. The LEGO Key & Cable Holder was dreamed up by the clever folks over at Sugru. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Cord Management:** There is a growing trend of tech-savvy individuals creating their own cord management solutions using DIY methods and materials. - **LEGO Hacks:** LEGO enthusiasts are finding new and creative ways to use LEGO bricks for practical purposes, such as cord and key holders. - **Functional Desk Accessories:** There is a trend of people seeking practical and multi-functional desk accessories that can help organize and manage their workspace. ### Where This Applies - **DIY Products and Services:** The DIY cord management trend presents an opportunity for businesses to offer innovative DIY products and services that cater to tech-savvy individuals. - **LEGO and Toy Industry:** LEGO enthusiasts' interest in using LEGO bricks for practical purposes opens up opportunities for the LEGO and toy industry to develop new product lines and accessories targeted at adults. - **Office Supplies and Accessories:** The demand for functional desk accessories creates a market opportunity for businesses in the office supplies and accessories industry to develop innovative and multi-functional products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Phone Charger Wire Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/co-cable-organizer.md) - [All-in-One Desk Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cord-1.md) - [Building Block-Friendly Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melgeek-pixel.md) - [Superhero-Themed Block Pen Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-lord-helmet.md) - [Modular Cable Organizer Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cords.md) - [Compact Key Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniki.md) - [Sci Fi-Inspired Desk Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightsaber-lego.md) - [Functional Swiss-Army Toy Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-multitool.md) - [Modern Aluminum USB Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitlounge.md)
