First on our list is the trackable gadget from Apple, the AirTag. It's a popular purchase for avid travellers, anxious pet owners, or those who frequently misplace their keys.
This could be a fantastic Father's Day buy...and it won't break the bank either.
At a bargain price of £28, this Amazon deal is one of the cheapest you'll find compared to the usual £35 tag for one. There is also deals on bundles of more than one too. This coin-sized gadget can be clipped onto any item and tracked with Apple's Find My app - making it an ideal gift for a dad who's always misplacing things.
Whether it's attached to luggage, a handbag, keys, or a backpack, the AirTag can help locate a lost item by anonymously pinging its location to the Find My network.

We couldn't mention the Apple AirTag without giving a shoutout to Samsung's own version, the Galaxy SmartTag2. It works in a similar way to the AirTag but uses the SmartThings app instead of the Find My network.
It can be tracked with any device as long as it runs Android 11.
One advantage of the SmartTag2 is that it comes already fitted into a stylish keyring (unlike Apple where you have to purchase separately), however, it does cost £34 - slightly more than Amazon's £28 AirTag deal.
