Every day, alongside our regular Daily Deals post, we are showcasing some of the offers available from our own MacNN Deals store. Today's quartet of offers are all things to help you keep track of where things are, including two Bluetooth tracking accessories, a way to find where you parked your car, and even something to help know where your pets are.

First, the second generation iHere 3.0 Tracking Device can help you rediscover where you placed your keys or wallet. This keychain accessory has a companion app that can track the signal at a range of up to 75 feet, has a separation alarm to make sure you don't forget to take the attached items when on the move, and a triggerable alarm to make finding it easier when you're nearby. Valued at $50, you can get this for $23 for the next four days, with free shipping.

The Lapa Bluetooth Tracking Device is an alternative item that performs similar functionality to the iHere 3.0, but with slightly different functionality. A text alert can be triggered if you leave things behind, it includes a beeper and LED light to help with finding it when lost, and the companion app can also send a secondary alert through social media channels to try and expedite the refinding of the misplaced item. Get this $25 accessory for $20 and free shipping for four more days.

If you have trouble parking in large car parks, consider the Zus Smart Car Chargr & Locator. The main unit plugs into the vehicle's dashboard, allowing it to charge devices using USB at twice the normal rate, while also turning it into a locator beacon that the companion app can latch on to, to guide you to where the car is located. Originally $50, get this for $30 and free shipping over the next four days.

Lastly, the Tractive GPS Pet Tracker gives you the opportunity to find out what your cat or dog does all day. Attaching to a collar, this tracker gives you a live update of the animal's location, complete with the last 24 hours of movements, notifications when the battery is running low, a built-in light, and alerts if the animal strays out of a defined "virtual fence" area, like a garden. This $130 tracker can be yours for $100 and free shipping for the next seven days, though be aware there is a service charge for the device of $7 per month or $65 per year.

Tracking wallet device should be the size of a credit card so you tug inside your wallet. Or build a wallet with bluetooth embedded.

There are a few credit card-sized ones.

Interesting. Did not know Protag makes them.

At least iHere is rechargeable and Lapa battery is replaceble, unlike Tile.

Always thought that the Tile concept was great. The only problem is requiring a downloaded app. I suspect that, despite the zillions spent on advertising, that there aren't many Tile users willing to get an expensive, essentially disposable tracking tag.

The real killer would be if Apple came up with their own dongle, and built in support into iOS. Maybe something in the setup like "Your device can help others to track lost items. Opt in Yes/no?"

The only downside is that I could see people (police?) using inexpensive bluetooth tags to bug/track people/cars using a network of unsuspecting iPhone owners.
