Sorry for the vague title, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I know someone who is the world's worst scatterbrain, so I figured a good idea for a present would be a sort of gadget that helps you find lost items, something along the lines of what you get with cordless phones (ie, press a button on the base station and the handset starts beeping); or, if it's affordable, some sort of... tracking... thingy... if such a thing exists.

Basically, imagine you're standing in a room of clutter with your keys buried somewhere under piles of junk, and you think "this is the perfect time for X!" and you pull X out of your pocket and it points you to your keys or makes them ring or something - I want X.

Does such a thing exist?

There are key rings that respond to clapping, they start beeping. I see them on late night TV infomercials and Radio Shack. Their name is on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember it! Argh! Now if only I had a device that helped me find lost thoughts...

Will this do?

That's it. Now to find someone nearby that sells the damn thing...

Just don't lose the command unit!

What happens when you misplace X?

That's what the second X is for... and so forth

wait... what if you buy like 20 of these things, and you lose a set of keys for example. If you press the button, do all 20 start screeching?
