    Best Mother’s Day Gifts: Good Finds for Mom!

    Mother’s Day will be here before you know it. Have you picked out the best gifts for the Mom in your life yet? If not, don’t panic. You still have time to get her something special. Today we’re going over some of the best tech gifts you can get for Mom this Mother’s Day!

    Best Mother’s Day Gifts

    Wireless Charging Pad

    Does Mom use a phone that supports wireless charging? Maybe she does but hasn’t even used the wireless functionality yet. If that’s the case, you should consider picking her up a wireless charging pad for Mother’s Day! Qi chargers can be found for relatively inexpensive prices, and they’re quite useful for anyone who likes the convenience of charging without cables.

    Make sure the person you’re getting one for has a phone that can be wirelessly charged! Simply ask Mom what her phone is and look up its features before you go with this gift. Most phones released in the last two years have wireless charging, but it’s best to err on the side of caution.

    Fitness Tracker

    A fitness tracker or a smartwatch makes an excellent gift for Mom. We love the Apple Watch Series 4, though its steep price tag might be a bit much for some gift-givers. If you’re looking to get mom a fitness tracker without breaking the bank, consider a Fitbit Versa Lite, or even a Fitbit Inspire HR.

    All of these smart watches track fitness activity, and any of them would be a great gift for a Mom who is looking to get more serious about an active lifestyle. These also make great, stylish gifts with practical use and “wow” factor!

    Audible Subscription

    If Mom loves to read books but doesn’t often have the time to sit still and read, she might love a subscription to Audible. Amazon’s own audiobook service, Audible offers access to tons of audiobooks and a subscription, while not required, would be a great gift.

    A subscription offers a free audiobook once per month, as well as access to two “Audible originals”. Give Mom the gift of great stories with Audible.

  • Top 5 Tech Gifts to Blow Away Your Low-Tech Mom This Mothers Day

    Top 5 Tech Gifts to Blow Away Your Low-Tech Mom This Mothers Day

    Its Monday, and you forgot Mothers day is less then a week away. I do it every year, I only remembered it this year because as usual it falls on the same weekend as the TPC at Sawgrass. Thankfully I have an Amazon Prime account and more then two days to go. So lets take a look at the hottest tech for the coolest Mom.

     

    1. FitBit Versa- $200

    The Fitbit Versa isn’t just an affordable, attractive fitness tracker. New moms will appreciate all the convenient apps, like a stopwatch for timing nursing sessions or NFC payments for Starbucks when she has (d’oh!) forgotten her wallet. The additional $40 Fitbit Coach subscription also gives her access to quick seven- or ten-minute workouts, if she needs to get moving a little bit but can’t leave the house. Just don’t let her check the sleep tracker.

    2.Romba 690- $375

    Moms been vacuming for you your whole life, get her a Robot to do it for her. You know your mom could fill her house with robots to do every boring, tedious, and time-consuming chore, she probably would. But since she can’t, take one small thing off the list and get her iRobot’s midrange robot vacuum, which has a surprising amount of cleaning tech for a reasonable price. The 690 has iRobot’s uncannily accurate Dirt Detect system, virtual wall barriers, and clean, simple app. She can even use it as a tiny, tiny ottoman when it’s done.

    3. Roku Ultra 2017- $90

    One big reason for the new Roku Ultra box adds a private listening mode and a handy remote finder button. Yes our mom constantly looses the remote, especially to the streaming service HD box, the Roku Ultra has all the benefits of the Roku but with the remote finder.

    4. Iphone 8+ – $949

    Your Mom needs a new phone, bite the bullet and take care of this for her. Get her something big, easy to see and not to complicated. The iPhone 8 plus is perfect for all Moms. While we know the X is the device to have, the new gesture control may be a bit much. Mom across the world are still a bit weary of the facial recognition, plus the home button is comforting for them. Be a good child and get her a new iPhone.

     

    5. Tile- $20

    Maybe dropping a big gift on Mom inst in the budget this year, fret not we have you covered. Your mom is getting older all the time, you have already notices I’m sure the increased frequency in which she is loosing her keys, phone, purse, glasses, or those cheater classes she has started to wear. The Tile can help, It’s a small, battery-powered device that beeps when you ring it from a phone, or it can ring your phone when you press the button on the front.

     

    The Final Thought

    Getting your Mom something for Mothers Day she doesn’t understand is the easiest way for her to brag to her friends what terrific children she has. She needs that, she deserves a nice day, she could use some new tech. Its the very least you could especially If you are going to miss dinner because you are at a Golf tournament in Florida for the weekend.
