Why it makes a good gift
Best for : An iPhone owner who often misplaces keys or a wallet
Best occasion : Christmas, a birthday, or a send-off gift before a trip for a frequent traveler
Why it works : It only pays off for someone with an iPhone or iPad, which makes it a good fit when you already know what phone the person uses. The second generation adds a louder speaker and a longer finding range, and the listing highlights sharing an item's location with over 50 airline partners if something important goes missing, a concrete reason to slip one into a traveler's gift. At about $24 with 4.6 stars across more than 11,000 reviews, it is a small tech gift that pairs easily with a keychain or luggage tag.
Avoid if : The recipient uses an Android phone: the listing describes setup with iPhone or iPad only. It also contains a small replaceable battery, so keep it out of reach of young children and pets.
