Peace of mind in your kid's shoe: This AirTag holder can ease your back-to-school worries
We are sending our four-year-old off to school for the first time and are admittedly very nervous about it. I know that I'm not the only parent out there feeling similar anxiety around back-to-school season, but I made one Amazon purchase that is giving both my husband and I a little bit more peace of mind. We purchased an Apple AirTag and a hidden holder shoe insole that fits neatly inside my son's shoes. AirTags have been a common device for parents to keep an eye on their child for a few years now, but kids can lose watches, the tracker can come detached from clothes and your little one can even be separated from their backpack, rendering the device fairly useless. The odds of my son losing his shoes in an emergency are lower, so that's where our comfort comes from. Here's how to shop the hidden AirTag holder insole before you send your kiddos off to school this year. Pro-tip: Prime members can save 10% when they apply the on-page coupon! AirTags are a great option for anything you frequently misplace, or just need that extra peace of mind with a tracking-capable device. Here are some more accessories that might be of use:

Holidaymakers warned to leave their phones at home this summer
Thousands of holidaymakers could find themselves out of pocket with almost a third experiencing lost or stolen items abroad, with phones being the most common casualty. Experts say knowing what your insurance policy covers is one of the key things to be aware of when packing for your holidays and it's worth considering if you really need to take new smartphones. According to new research from Tesco Insurance, one in four travellers think 'small issues' aren't worth claiming on insurance, and one in six believe travel insurance is only necessary for expensive trips. Travellers who've had to replace lost items report that losing a phone abroad could cost up to £495 - and significantly more for newer models. For the especially unlucky, the total cost of replacing commonly lost belongings could soar past £1,500. Phone: £495.10 Luggage: £411.20 Camera: £376.30 Passport/ID: £289.10 Alex Cross, Chief Customer Officer at Tesco Insurance said: "Lost or missing items can quickly turn a dream holiday into a nightmare, so it's no surprise this is a top concern for many travellers. The best way to stay protected is to plan ahead: invest in tracking devices like AirTags, secure your luggage properly, and ensure your travel insurance covers your belongings - including gadgets - from the moment you book. 'Travel insurance is an important consideration for any trip you take, even if it's just a short city break. While it comes in handy for things like cancellations or damage to your luggage, it's invaluable if the unexpected does happen and you need medical treatment. A few simple steps can help you travel with confidence and peace of mind." Alex has shared tips on protecting yourself and your belongings when travelling: Utilise Tracking Devices and Secure Your Luggage: Give yourself peace of mind by investing in small, battery-powered tracking devices like AirTags for your luggage, handbags, or even key valuables. These can often be located using your smartphone, potentially aiding in recovery if items go astray. Always use sturdy padlocks on your checked luggage, and for carry-on bags, ensure zips are secure. Consider keeping valuable items like passports, wallets, and electronics in a smaller, accessible bag that stays with you, rather than in an overhead locker if you're concerned. Make sure you're covered: To ensure continuous coverage and protect yourself financially, aim to purchase your travel insurance policy at the same time you book your holiday. This way, you're covered for unexpected events that might occur between booking and your departure date, such as illness, cancellation, or initial loss of items. Don't just buy insurance - read it. Familiarise yourself with your specific policy's terms and conditions, especially regarding what's covered in case of loss or theft, any single item limits, and the excess you might need to pay. Knowing these details beforehand can prevent unwelcome surprises if you need to make a claim. Digitise Important Documents: Before you travel, take clear photographs of your passport, visa (if applicable), driver's license, and travel insurance policy details. Store these digital copies securely on your phone and consider emailing a copy to yourself or a trusted family member. This can significantly speed up replacement if physical documents are lost or stolen. Keep Emergency Contacts Handy: Have a list of essential emergency contact numbers readily accessible, separate from your phone. This includes your airline, hotel, travel insurance provider's 24-hour helpline, and the local embassy or consulate for reporting lost passports or stolen items quickly. Do I need gadget cover? If you're planning on taking multiple expensive items like phones, tablets, and cameras, then it's worth taking this into account when considering insurance providers. You may find that opting for gadget cover is a great way to get cover for all your gizmos at just a small additional cost.

Time's running out on the 29 best Amazon Prime Day Apple deals of 2025
Featured Apple Prime Day dealApple AirTags, 4-Pack: $65 $99 This deal is constantly changing at the time of publishing, with Amazon getting it back in stock after running out. Get it while you can! I hope you've got your favorite Apple products in the cart ready to check out, because these Prime Day deals end in mere hours. As I've texted friends, family and even colleagues, this is one of the very best chances to get Apple items at the prices that make far more sense, such as the AirPods Pro 2 at $149 — a record low. We've also got new low prices for the best iPads and good deals on our favorite MacBooks. Oh, and Amazon finally has the AirTag four-pack deal back in stock after selling out earlier. There's only one problem: This plethora of deals can be hard to sift through, and many sales aren't actually that great if you scrutinize them. This is where I come into play, as I've been covering Apple deals for every Prime Day ever, starting in 2015. I've also been reviewing Apple's products along the way, giving me the experience of knowing which Macs, AirPods and iPhones you should be looking for and which you should just skip. Here are the best Amazon deals on Apple products, the only ones you should consider this Prime Day. Apple AirTag It never hurts to have a spare AirTag handy for tracking your stuff, especially when they're on sale only a single dollar above their all-time low price. Read our review Apple AirTag, 4-Pack This deal is constantly in flux, as Amazon's had trouble keeping this four-pack of trackers in stock. Fortunately, both Amazon and Best Buy have the trackers now, but that could change our review Hatalkin AirTag Holder, 4-Pack You pretty much need an AirTag holder to actually affix Apple's tracker to most of your stuff, and this mega-popular set gets you four of them for just over $5 right now. Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter As someone who loses stuff constantly, I find that you can never have enough power bricks. This tiny-but-speedy Apple charger has been my go-to for years, and you can pick up an extra for close to its lowest price right now. Anker Nano 30W USB-C Charger Block We love this fast and compact Anker charging brick, which has an even higher charging wattage than Apple's and is currently cheaper than we've ever seen it for Prime Day. It comes in a bunch of sweet color options too. Eveready CR2032 Lithium Coin Batteries, 10-Pack No, these aren't Apple-brand batteries, but they are the batteries you'll need to replace in the AirTags once a year. And this Prime Day discount makes them a perfect purchase for anyone who owns AirTags or is buying more. Apple USB-C Woven Charge Cable It never hurts to have a spare charging cable handy, and this popular option (which we've used a ton) gets you a sturdy woven design and a comfortable 6.5 feet of slack for a lowest-ever price. Apple iPhone 16 MagSafe Clear Case I've bought and loved Apple's clear cases for years, and you can now give your iPhone 16 some translucent, MagSafe-ready protection for a solid 18% off. Anker 140W 4-Port USB-C Laptop Charger Most laptop power adapters are only designed to power your laptop, but this four-port power adapter from trusted accessory brand Anker means you'll be able to charge a MacBook, iPad and iPhone and even an Apple Watch at the same time, provided you have cords for each. It even ncludes a braided USB-C cable for the first device. Oh, and it's at its best price ever. Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe Magsafe Charging Stand I've used plenty of MagSafe chargers over the years, but there's only one I actually love. This 3-in-1 model can charge an iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch at the same time, and it takes up a minimal amount of space while it does so. Today's 50%-off discount enables you to get this well-designed stand for less than ever our review Apple USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter Adding USB-C, USB-A and VGA ports with this adapter will come in handy if a MacBook Air is your daily driver. Still on the fence? This is the lowest price we've seen in months. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) With USB-C Even having tested tons of great competitors over the years, I constantly come back to the AirPods Pro 2 for their superb sound quality, excellent ANC and headache-free connectivity with my iPhone. These oft-discounted favorites just hit their lowest price ever for Prime our review Apple AirPods 4 Even as an AirPods Pro snob, I was incredibly impressed by the AirPods 4's Pro-like sound quality and immersive spatial audio. They're a very good pickup at this lowest-ever price. Read our review Apple AirPods 4 With ANC The noise-canceling version of the AirPods 4 are an excellent AirPods Pro alternative for folks who prefer less of a tight seal. They offer shockingly good ANC for a set of open earbuds and are a great deal at this lowest-ever price. Read our review Apple AirPods Max Apple's pricey over-ear headphones sound great, and they've just dropped back to $399 in Starlight. However, keep in mind that prices keep fluctuating on these luxe our review Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) The Apple Watch SE is an excellent pickup if you just need the basics. It's just $20 shy of its best-ever price and a great sub-$200 value. Apple Watch Series 10 Our favorite overall smartwatch just dropped to its best price yet, making it a better time than ever to grab one if you're looking to better track your health or spend less time on your our review Apple Watch Ultra 2 The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the way to go if you're a hiker, diver, extreme athlete or just want the most feature-packed watch possible, and this lowest-ever price makes Apple's most premium wearable more attainable. Read our review Apple iPad (11th Gen) Our pick for the best tablet and best iPad, Apple's 11th-generation basic tablet is still absurdly capable for the vast majority of people. Better yet, it's a buck short of its lowest price ever for Prime Day. Read our review Apple iPad Mini (2024) The iPad Mini is my go-to for bingeing YouTube, reading comics and catching up on TV shows on the go, and the speedy 2024 model with A17 Pro is currently at the lowest price we've seen for it. Read our review Apple iPad Air M3 (2025) With superfast performance and the handy Stage Manager mode for desktop-like multitasking, the iPad Air is as good as the iPad Pro for most people. That's especially true when you can grab the latest version of this great slate for its lowest price yet. Read our review Apple Pencil (USB-C) This is the lowest price we've seen on the basic USB-C Apple Pencil, which works with most modern iPads for your drawing and note-taking needs. Add it to your cart now before the price jumps again. Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 Keyboard iPad shoppers trying to find a keyboard within their budget can skip Apple's much-more-expensive options for Logitech's super-portable keyboard that I've enjoyed testing — which Prime members can grab at its lowest price our review Apple 11-Inch iPad Pro M4 We love the iPad Pro's stunning OLED screen and best-in-class performance for power users who need top speed for drawing and editing. It's certainly a splurge, but much more attainable at just a dollar shy of its all-time-low right our review Apple 13-Inch MacBook Air M4 Our pick for the best laptop and best MacBook since it first launched, the latest MacBook Air packs more than enough power for most people's needs within a beautifully slim design. It's about $50 shy of its all-time low price, but this is still a great deal on a great laptop. Read our review Apple 15-Inch MacBook Air M4 I wouldn't normally focus on a different size of a laptop, but the 15-inch MacBook Air is my favorite because of its lightweight design, large screen and great mix of performance and battery life. This $150-off deal isn't the best we've ever seen, but this laptop is too good for me to gloss over. Apple MacBook Pro M4 The latest MacBook Pro M4 delivered some of the best performance scores we've ever seen from a laptop while offering some pretty impressive battery life to boot. It's a great pick for those who typically push their notebook to the limit and are willing to invest in the best of the best. Luckily, this discount takes off a bit of the sticker shock, and it's a mere $24 shy of its all-time low price. Read our review Apple Mac Mini M4 If you clip the $46 coupon, the Mac Mini comes close to its lowest price ever. The small computer is an excellent option for remote workers short on space, as it packs a punch without taking up desk our review Apple iMac M4 This iMac earned a spot in my home office as my favorite big-screen device I can turn to for everything from my personal email to running a media server, thanks to its slim design and speedy performance. This $150 discount isn't the largest I've ever seen, but it's still enough to merit inclusion our review Every product on this list is at or close to the lowest price we've seen yet, according to Amazon price tracker CamelCamelCamel. More importantly, these are all current Apple products that we've personally tested and recommend, from the cheapest AirTag to the most expensive MacBook Pro.
