Amazon's AirTag Deal Is the Ideal Last-Minute Christmas Gift Pickup

We all know someone who constantly misplaces things, and sometimes we're even that person. But whether you're buying for yourself or someone else this holiday season, Apple's sleek AirTags are among the most versatile options we've found. Right now, AirTags are on sale for the holidays and yes, you can still get them delivered in time to gift them to someone else for the big day (so long as you're an Amazon Prime subscriber). Amazon is now offering Apple's four-pack on sale for just $70, a $29 discount and the lowest price we've ever seen. It means you'll pay a little less than $18 for each one.

Looking to grab an extra AirTag or try one out to see if it's right for you? You can get a single tracker for just $24 at Walmart. 

AirTags are some of our favorite Bluetooth trackers. They work seamlessly with your iPhone and the Find My app with a simple one-tap pairing process. You can then throw a tracker in a pocket or luggage as-is or grab an AirTag accessory to clip it to your keys, hook it onto a bag or pet collar, stick it to your bike or attach it to anything else you want to keep track of.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.  

Once set up, the AirTags will appear in the Find My app and display your items on a map so you can easily find them. If an item is in your vicinity, you can play a sound from the AirTag's tiny speaker with the Find My app and use the Precision Finding feature to be guided to your lost possession. This is handy if you're looking for your keys or wallet around the house.

If you happen to lose an item outside your house, you can put your AirTag in Lost Mode, which enables notifications for when the AirTag is detected on the Find My network and allows you to add a message, including your phone number or email address.

Each AirTag is powered by a CR2032 coin battery, four of which are included with your purchase. The batteries last around a year before you need to replace them. AirTags are IP67 rated, making them water- and dust-resistant, so you don't have to worry about them getting damaged if they're exposed to the elements. 

Why this deal matters

AirTags are an efficient, simple way to keep track of your belongings, whether you're about to travel or you know someone who constantly loses their wallet or keys. At $70 for a pack of four, this is the lowest price we've seen for these Apple AirTags, so if you've been looking for a meaningful holiday gift or a reason to splurge on a Bluetooth tracker, now's the time.

Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?

If you're ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it's going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it's important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.

Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrived as soon as Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays. 

These AirTags will arrive before Christmas, according to the shipping timeframes given on Amazon's product page for Amazon Prime subscribers. If you don't have Prime, you're looking at free delivery a few days after Christmas.
