I need help choosing pill fobs

[admin]

I am going to buy a couple of pill fobs for my father, and you will never guess what they are going to be used for! Drum roll…. Pills! Or rather tablets. He is lactose intolerant, and needs to carry around a few pills of lactase enzyme just in case he has to eat or drink something containing lactose. He usually carries a few broken off a blister card, but the thing is the edges are really sharp, wearing holes in pocket lining, and this summer I actually saw him cutting himself while we were bicycling. Yesterday he was cleaning out the filter in the washing machine, and guess what, it was full of those small blister packs. So he needs to stop carrying them loose in the pocket.

If I get him some pill fobs, I’m pretty sure he will actually use them, while I wouldn’t exactly describe him as an EDC’er, he is at least always carrying some kind of pocket knife (usually a small SAK on his key chain), and an old school wave when he is working on bigger home projects. So he is not adverse to carrying gear. I actually told him about pill fobs, and he seemed interested and even asked if you could carry LR44 batteries in them as well (I think he needs them for camera equipment).

So, that brings me to what I need:
I want them to be small enough to keep comfortably on a key chain, and since I’m getting him several, its easier if I get one kind that can fit both the pills and the batteries.

The batteries are slightly lager than the pills, the pills are just about 10mm in diameter while wikipedia states that LR44 batteries should measure 11.4±0.2 in diameter. I hope the difference is small enough that the same fob will fit both, without the pills being tossed around to much. The pills are 4mm thick, and the batteries are a little over 5mm so i hope to get a fob that will hold 3 batteries or 4 pills.

Does anyone know about something that will fit this description? Preferably not to expensive (I’m getting several), and it doesn’t have to be super watertight, and from a place that ships to Norway.

Any help is appreciated, I have never owned any fobs myself.
