One of the first things I insist on implementing when I move into a new apartment is the key basket by the door. Then I play drill sergeant and bark orders about, making sure everyone gets in the habit of chucking their keys in said basket. Yes, I am a pleasure to live with.

Sometimes though when one is out and about it’s easy to lose things – pets, keys, children, you know the drill. Now there’s an easy way to ensure nothing escapes your clutches, the iTag Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Anti-Lost Alarm Tracker, Key Finder and GPS Locator. Down from R320 to just R169 (free delivery yo), this gadget will automatically ring if your devices are outside of a 25m radius, keeping them from getting lost.

It can also be used as a selfie stick remote but we’re not going down that road.

What you need to know:

Main Features:

• The anti-lost adopts latest Bluetooth 4.0 low consumption technology, and through a corresponding app realises all the functions
• It can protect kids, pets or valuables from being stolen or lost within 25m effective distance range
• When out of this range your phone and the iTag will automatically ring for a timely warning
• It can also be used as a remote control seflie shutter and recorder

And before you ask it is compatible with a range of iPhones and Androids, all of which you can check out HERE.

I don’t think I need to go into great detail about the pain one experiences moments after shattering your phone’s screen, the wounds are still too raw. If you’re not keen on wrapping yours up in cotton wool then grab a Tempered Glass Screen Protector (from R99) and ease those worries.

The screen protector is compatible with a large range of iPhones and Samsungs with the following features:

• Slim but strong design
• Tempered glass with 9H hardness
• Guards screens from shattering, scuffs, and scratches
• Surface treatment resists fingerprints
• Ultra-slim profile adds minimal bulk to the phone
• Maintains your phone’s functionality
• Will not interfere with the touchscreen’s sensitivity
• Cutouts over the front buttons, cameras, and speakers

Gadgets that make life easier and prevent hopping on the admin bus as often – yes please.
