The holiday season is almost here, and so are the busiest (and most stressful) travel days of the year. Few things ruin a trip more than losing your luggage, wallet, or even your keys. However, if you're an iPhone user, an AirTag is the perfect accessory to ease those anxieties before you head out, especially when it's only $18.

I use AirTags to keep track of my wallets, keys, remote controls, and even my young kids. Over the past few years, AirTags have become my go-to tracking device because they're easy to use, small enough to slip into a bag or outerwear, and extremely reliable. There are also many aftermarket cases and holders available for AirTags, allowing you to use them to track a wide range of items, including your bike, luggage, and even your car when you need to locate your parking spot.
Thanks to my husband, who always forgets where he puts his wallet, keys, and even his shoes, I've gone through several different Bluetooth trackers. While I can easily solve his incessant forgetfulness to lock the doors and close the garage with smart home devices, I struggled for years to find a reliable Bluetooth tracker for our smaller items -- until I tried the AirTag.
AirTags are so reliable for iPhone users that you can locate them to within a fraction of a foot using your phone. The iPhone's Find My app tracks the AirTag through Bluetooth, the Find My network, and ultra-wideband (UWB), a connectivity protocol that shows high-accuracy directional data. This results in highly precise tracking information, helping you locate your lost devices within minutes.
