Default wireless outlet control with TWO remotes

Does anybody know a vendor that sells, prepackaged, wireless outlets with TWO remote controls. I understand you cannot use both remotes at the same time,
but I'd like some flexibility; leaving one by the front door and another in the
kitchen

My son would also like to hassle his sister - controlling lights from
parts unseen.

Thank you.

Another solution, if you can find them cheaper elsewhere, is to
purchase two packages, making sure that both remotes operate on the
same frequency. The better quality remotes will have switchable
frequencies - usually labeled A, B, C - so you can select what
frequency to use for the remote. Cheaper remotes will be set to only
one frequency, _but_ will have that that frequency labeled. The
cheapest remotes won't have any designation, so every time you buy
one, it's a crapshoot whether it'll run on the same frequency as one
you bought previously.
