Apple AirTag
Do you regularly lose important items? Then put this Apple AirTag in your wallet or put it on a bunch of keys. You can effortlessly find lost items from the Find My app on an iPhone, iPad or Mac. Use the Objects section to do this and connect a bag, key ring or bicycle to this bluetooth tracker. You can then easily find out the geographical location on a map. That also works over longer distances, because every Apple device in the world can share location data with you. This is done completely anonymously, so your privacy is guaranteed.
You may play a sound on the AirTag to detect it indoors. Then you can find out the exact location via the Precise Search function using Ultra Wideband technology. That does require an iPhone 11 or later. The round housing houses a CR2032 button cell battery.

Sony CyberShot DSC-WX500
Today’s smartphones do have a good camera, but unfortunately you can usually not or hardly zoom in with them (except with the absolute top models). That is different with this compact Sony CyberShot DSC-WX500. With 30× optical zoom, you can effortlessly bring distant objects closer. This happens without any loss of quality.
Thanks to an impressive resolution of 18.2 megapixels, the pictures look razor-sharp. You can also tilt the 3-inch screen, after which you can take self-portraits if desired. The CyberShot DSC-WX500 functions just as easily as a video camera, because you can make a 4K movie with one press of the Movie button. When you get home, connect the camera to WiFi and transfer the images to a PC or laptop.
Price: from € 400 for € 259,-

TP Link U500

The device measures only 1.48 × 1.89 × 0.68 centimeters. Great, because this means the TP-Link U500 barely protrudes from the USB port. Thanks to support for Bluetooth 5.0, you can achieve a stable and fast wireless connection. This product is compatible with Windows systems. You can also connect up to seven Bluetooth devices.
