ACR122U NFC reader
Confusingly the ACR122U seems to be sold under a bunch of different brand names (mine came under the far-from-reassuring brand name "Yosoo") but from what I can tell they are all the same and constructed by American Card Systems. The cheapest I've found the ACR122U advertised is £21 including shipping, but that comes direct from China so you might need to wait a bit for that.
×1
NTAG213 NFC tag
Any tag compatible with the widely available NTAG213 standard should work. They are widely available. I recommend going with the largest on that you can as it will improve read performance. I went with these massive ones from Seritag: https://seritag.com/nfc-tags/55-85-clear-ntag213

I'm now searching your system for contactless devices
** found ACS ACR122U PN532v1.6 at usb:001:011
I'm not trying serial devices because you haven't told me
-- add the option '--search-tty' to have me looking
