Not all mums want flowers and a lovely brunch out for Mother’s Day. Some would rather spend the day enjoying the latest tech gadget – with their dear son or daughter, or course.
If your mum is among those who prefer FitBits and iPads to handbags and scarves, take a look at this list of the best tech gifts for Mum this Mother’s Day.
Busy Mums deserve all the help they can get when it comes to running the household.
The Google Home voice-activated speaker can remind family members of appointments and events, play music from a variety of web services, let you know what the weather will be like, and even work with your other smart devices like TVs, appliances, and thermostats.
Maybe Mum is incredibly organized – but even the best of us lose things now and then. Tile trackers are small, sleek Bluetooth locators that can be attached to keys, wallets, backpacks, remote controls – anything that you might misplace.
When you lose an item that has a Tile attached, all you have to do is use the Tile app on your phone to get the tracker to ring, alerting you to the item’s location. It works in reverse, too: if you lose your phone, just push the button on any of your Tile trackers to get your phone to ring.
You can even put a Tile in your car or on your bike to make sure you never again have to wander a street or parking lot searching for your transportation.
Perfect for high-achieving, career-oriented moms, the Microsoft Band is more than just a fitness tracker. The Band tracks your workouts and steps, sleep, and calories burned, and comes with a continuous heart rate monitor that allows you to see how your heart rate changes over a 24-hour period.
In addition to your fitness data, however, the Band allows you to view and reply to text messages, preview your emails, and receive calendar notifications.
Mums who love to bake will love Drop, a smart scale that works with a recipe app that lets you access free recipes and precisely measure ingredients so you end up with less waste.
The app walks you through your recipes step-by-step, and you can even interact with the app by pushing a button on the scale. That way, you don’t have to worry about getting flour all over your iPad.
Nixplay Seed Cloud WiFi Digital Frame
The Nixplay Seed Cloud WiFi Digital Frame is the perfect gift for Mums everywhere – especially for those who don’t live in the same town as their children or grandchildren.
The Nixplay Seed works with the Nixplay smartphone app, which allows users to send photos to frames instantly from anywhere around the world. Mum can place her Seed frame in the family room and see images from her granddaughter’s ballet recital, or her son’s trip to India, as they’re happening.
You can even create playlists for Mum’s Seed frame before you give it to her – for ideas, check our post “A Lifetime in Pictures: Suggested Playlists for Your Gifted Nixplay Digital Photo Frame.”
Tech-savvy Mums deserve useful, fun-to-use gadgets. Whether Mum is an avid baker, a fitness enthusiast, or a devoted family woman, you can certainly find something on this list to make her happy. For more ideas on how to stay connected to Mum throughout the year, not just on Mother’s Day, read our post “How the Nixplay App Can Keep Your Family Connected.”
