The Apple AirTag is currently at its lowest price ever
Notorious for losing your keys or wallet? Or perhaps you've been burned one too many times by an airline losing your luggage. Whatever the case may be, if you need to keep track of your belongings, the Apple AirTag can help. Our NBC Select editors have reviewed it extensively, and it's won a number of awards (e.g. an NBC Select Travel Award for best Bluetooth tracker and a Giftable Tech Award).
If you've been thinking about buying an AirTag or need to replenish your stock, now is a good time: A pack of four is currently on sale for its lowest price ever. The four-pack usually retails for $99, but it's currently available for $64.49. That means that each AirTag costs just over $16, well under the $29 that a single AirTag normally goes for.
Apple AirTag 4-pack
4.7-star average rating from 14,602 reviews on Amazon
The Apple AirTag, which is about the size of a quarter, is one of our favorite travel accessories because it can help you find and/or keep track of your items by syncing it with your smart devices. You can use the Apple FindMy app to pinpoint the exact location of your AirTag if it's within 30 feet. When you're near the tracker, you can use its Precision Finding feature, which guides you toward your item using an arrow that points you in the AirTag's direction. It also has a chime or sound feature, which makes it easier to find.
The beauty of the Apple AirTag is how adaptable it can be. 'I use Apple AirTags for all kinds of travel: everything from international trips to commuting to work,' says NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz. He has one in his work backpack, his suitcase and his keys. If your tagged items (like luggage, keys or your wallet) go missing, you can set your AirTag into 'lost mode,' which will automatically notify you when it's detected back in your network.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The Amazon iPad vs Fire HD tablet showdown might seem unfair at first – but both devices are consistently among Amazon's top-selling tablets for a reason. And while they're aimed at different types of users, they each offer serious value in their category. In fact, both models are flying off the shelves. The Apple iPad 11-inch (A16 chip) has shipped over 3,000 units in the past month on Amazon alone – and right now, it's down to £309.97, a full £30 cheaper than buying direct from Apple. The Amazon Fire HD 8 has also proved a huge hit, with more than 2,000 units bought in the past 30 days. At just £99.99, it's one of the most accessible tablets out there – and it was recently refreshed for 2024 with upgraded specs. For casual streaming and on-the-go use: Fire HD 8 wins on price and simplicity The Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet offers 13 hours of battery life, more RAM, and supports apps like Netflix, Kindle and Disney+. | Amazon The Fire HD 8 isn't pretending to be a powerhouse. It's designed for casual, everyday use: watching Netflix, playing Candy Crush, reading the Kindle app or making video calls via Alexa or Zoom. This latest version has a brighter 8-inch HD screen, 3GB of RAM (up from 2GB), and up to 13 hours of battery life. There's 32GB of internal storage – with support for microSD cards up to 1TB if you want to expand it cheaply. Amazon's Appstore supports most of the everyday apps you'll want (Facebook, TikTok, Spotify, etc), though you won't get official Google Play access. And if you're buying it mainly for the kids, the Fire HD tablets still support parental controls, profiles and add-ons like Amazon Kids+. You'll have to accept Amazon's 'with ads' option on the lock screen to get that £99.99 price – or pay extra for the ad-free version. For multitasking, creative work and laptop replacement: the iPad has it all The new Apple iPad 11-inch delivers powerful multitasking with stunning visuals, perfect for everything from digital art to reading and productivity. | Apple While the Fire HD is built around media and simplicity, the iPad is a fully-fledged productivity and creativity machine. The 11-inch Liquid Retina screen is pin-sharp and colour-accurate, making it ideal for sketching, editing photos, or simply enjoying ultra-HD Netflix. The A16 Bionic chip means it's lightning fast – whether you're multitasking across split-screen apps or editing video. Support for the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard Folio turns the iPad into an all-in-one notebook replacement, particularly for students, designers, and remote workers. And with 128GB of base storage, there's far more room to work, download, and play than on cheaper alternatives. You also get Wi-Fi 6, better cameras (12MP front and rear), USB-C charging and Apple's typical premium build. It weighs just 0.77kg and fits into any bag, making it great for travel and on-the-go productivity. Verdict: they're aimed at totally different users – but both are worth the money If all you need is a tablet for light browsing, books, videos and calls – and you'd rather save £200 – the Fire HD 8 is a top pick. It's basic but reliable, and perfect as a travel companion or gift. But if you need a device that can handle real work – writing, drawing, meetings, media creation – the new iPad is in a different league. And given it's £30 off Apple's own price right now, it's a rare chance to save on a device that rarely gets discounts. Final thoughts Both tablets are clearly striking a chord with shoppers – with thousands sold in the past month alone. Whether you're looking for an affordable Netflix companion or a sleek workhorse, the right pick depends on how you plan to use it. Butlin's just opened its biggest-ever Soft Play – and your kids will go wild Looking for a family getaway that delivers maximum kid-energy burn-off and a bit of peace for the grown-ups? 🎉 Butlin's has just opened its biggest-ever Soft Play centre – and it's a whopper. 🧸 Four storeys tall, 3,000 square feet wide, and filled with colourful themed zones inspired by the Skyline Gang – it's all included in the price of your day pass or break.

Save more than £100 on a best-selling Shark vacuum in Amazon flash deal
The Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap has been reduced from £279.99 to £179.51 Amazon has cut the price of a top-selling Shark vacuum cleaner in a fresh deal. Shark's Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap has dropped from £279.99 to £179 for a limited time only – that works out as a saving of 36%. The Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner is currently leading the pack in Amazon's Stick Vacuums and Electric Brooms category, with more than 1,000 units shifted in the past month alone. Shark's own-brand website also rolled out an offer on the same device, where it was on sale for £249.99. However, the cleaner is currently out of stock on Shark's website and isn't available to buy right now. The vacuum cleaner is perfect for pet-friendly homes as it features Shark's signature Anti Hair Wrap Technology, engineered to separate and remove both long and short hair from the motorised brush-roll during cleaning, reports Devon Live. It has two floor modes for tackling carpet and hard floors, and is equipped with bright LED headlights in the floorhead to illuminate hidden dirt. It can operate for up to 40 minutes, with a battery light indicator showing how much charge remains, while its flexible wand allows for easier cleaning underneath furniture. The attachments include a crevice tool, a multi-surface tool and a pet tool. The cleaner has earned a stellar 4.5-star rating from more than 5,000 Amazon reviews – 91% of which are either awarded four or five stars. Shark's Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner matches Dyson's V11 Advanced in performance, which retails at a steeper £349.99 (usually £429.99), yet comes with a complimentary 'Floor Dok' valued at £100. Another option is Hoover's 4.4-star rated HF4 Cordless Vacuum, boasting anti-hair wrap technology and a pet tool, for £169, which was £249. But for Amazon shoppers, the Shark stick vacuum takes the cake for being 'easy to use' and having 'excellent suction'. Another customer said: "Very impressed. Most of my home is carpeted and previous cordless models have been pretty useless." They continued: "I find this to be very good suction, easy to manoeuvre and I like how it will automatically change to hard floors in kitchen and bathroom. It lasted 45 minutes on a full charge and not too heavy for me at 76 – can carry upstairs easily." Another commented: "Bought this to replace a Dyson cordless. My daughter has long hair and we were forever cutting this off the Dyson brush roller but so far we haven't had any hair stuck on the Shark roller. On hard floors it picks up the larger items that the Dyson wouldn't." The same customer pinpointed a drawback, adding: "The only slight negative compared to the Dyson is it doesn't quite clean as close to the edge as the Dyson, but I find the tools much easier to remove and fit." A final shopper concluded: "Easy to use with plenty of suction power to remove dog and cat hairs off carpets. An excellent vacuum. It is well balanced, has excellent suction and certainly picks up the dirt and dog hair well. "My first thought was that it seemed heavy, but it is well balanced and easy to use. It got dog hair out of my carpet, I didn't even realise was there. A really good vacuum."
