There are a variety of great gadget ideas in IDFuel’s first “Bonfire” gadget contest, including the winner, the “Bluebird” Bluetooth luggage tag. Besides lighting up when the bag tag’s owner presses the mated dongle, the Bluebird could also signal your cell phone when your luggage is nearby — as in nearby on the airline conveyer belt. In addition, your contact information could be stored on the tag, so if your luggage were to be lost, airline Bluetooth readers could be used to get in touch with you. There are even more great ideas detailed for the Bluebird, as well as other runners-up in the competition.

Update: Maybe this idea isn’t quite as original as I’d thought. (Thanks, Steven!)
