I’m a bad son. There are a lot of bad children out there, but if you’ve struggled to do more for your mom every previous Mother’s Day since it was no longer acceptable for you to offer her your scribbled crayon drawings. They’re the person who raised you, or they’re your wife, for heaven’s sake. The least you can do is find something she cares about. No, you don’t have to buy her a TV, but please ignore the stereotype that mothers don’t have any real tech comprehension. There are a lot of hip mothers out there, and what’s a better way to celebrate them on Mother’s Day than by gifting them something that rings true to them?
Well, luckily for you, moms are people, and if your mother has any online or tech inclinations whatsoever, there’s a ton of interesting little gadgets, gizmos, or upgrades she’d appreciate. Today’s moms were old enough to grow up in the golden age of gaming. Maybe she grew up playing Pokemon on the playground in old-school Game Boys. Surely a wife or two out there could use a pick-me-up from their youth?
Or maybe they want something cool that will enhance their computer setups, like a neat, smart lighting strip or a mousepad that glows with RGB lights. If they’re not so PC-based, perhaps you should think about a new tablet upgrade or even a smart bird feeder that will notify them of any avian visitors to their home.
Or if they’re like my own mom, she lives her life surrounded by technology she doesn’t know how to use. If that’s the case, you’re already used to donning your IT professional’s hat to ensure she has everything she needs. If that’s the case, you’ll want to gift her something that won’t require too much heavy lifting on your or her part. Keeping all that in mind, the list we put together may, at the very least, generate some idea of what you can get for Mother’s Day, perhaps something that will finally relinquish the awkward “bad son” title you’ve had for the past few decades.
