10. Tile trackers

Tile Pro 2-Pack, available at Tile, $34.99

I've been attaching the Tile trackers to important belongings like my keys, wallet, and Airpods since 2018, but they really did their job in 2019. I lost my Airpods case somewhere on my college campus this spring and used the Tile app on my phone to track them down (somehow the case hadn't been taken) and when my phone was stolen when I was in London this year, I was able to track it on Tile's website.

2019 was a great year for me misplacing all my important possessions, but Tile really helped me out and for that I am, and will continue to be, extremely grateful. —Ciannah Gin, editorial fellow
