I recently spent 12 hours flying from England to Singapore, then another five flying to Australia. If I'd disembarked the plane to find out my luggage hadn't completed the journey, I would have been a little unimpressed, to say the least. In fact, (knock on wood!) I'm been very lucky in my travels so far: the one time my luggage was misplaced, the airline found and delivered it to my door the very next day. But that experience was enough of a scare for me to relate to the 37 million (thirty.seven. MILLION!) people who lose their luggage every year, and never get it back.

Trace Me is a luggage tracking device that keeps your details on file, for life. All you pay for is a luggage tag with an exclusive bar code and your details are then registered on Immobilise - a database used by baggage handling organisations across the globe. As an added bonus, it's reusable and environmentally-friendly: there will be no need to write your name on a flimsy old paper tag ever again.

Buy one tag for £12.50 ($25) or two for £19.95 ($40) from the Trace Me website.
