On April 30, 2020

Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to treat mom and shower her with gifts to show her just how much you care. Flowers and candy are always a crowd-pleaser, but why not make it a little extra special this year with our selection of Mother’s Day digital gifts? There’s no time like the present to get hunting for that perfect gift!

The Best Tech Gifts For Mother’s Day

Looking for a fun tech gift to give to mom this Mother’s Day? From indoor gardens to jewelry, we’ve pulled together a list of 7 cool tech gadgets for mom that are suitable for even the less tech-savvy parents out there. With a mix of thoughtful, practical, and humorous goodies, you can’t go wrong!

Hydroponic Garden Kit

With hydroponic gardening, your plants grow faster without the need for messy dirt. Minerals and nutrients are added to the water so that the plants begin to produce delicious fruits and vegetables, including lettuce, spinach, herbs, and even strawberries. So you can grow your own food at home without the need for digging and weeding!

It’s a fun and quirky way to harvest your own greens, herbs, and vegetables at home that comes with all the benefits of growing your own mini garden – without all the hard work. Ideal for those looking to add a spot of color to their kitchen décor, or for apartment moms with no access to a backyard.

Smart Jewelry

A fun tech twist on the classic gift for mom. Combine fashion and functionality to create the perfect Mother’s Day tech gift. From watches and bracelets, to necklaces, rings and even sunglasses, there are a range of smart jewelry pieces available on the market. Smart jewelry devices offer several tech uses, from tracking your breathing, sleep, activity and monthly cycles, to smart alarms that gently wake you in the morning. Although not every piece of smart jewelry has the same capabilities, so doing your research and finding something to suit mom is your best bet.

Smart Baby Monitor

Whether she’s a new mom or has a little one on the way, a smart baby monitor is the perfect gift. It connects to an app over WiFi, meaning you can easily monitor your baby from your mobile or tablet and unlike traditional designs, a smart monitor allows you to connect to multiple devices. Some smart baby monitors can also be paired to a home device like Alexa, so you can control the monitor with ease using your own voice.

You can monitor several children on one device by connecting to multiple cameras at the same time, which is ideal for moms who are juggling a busy household. A smart baby monitor is also the perfect gift if you’re working away from home and are missing your little ones – giving you a real-time view of what they’re up to.

Noise Cancelling Headphones

If you live in a busy household, this gift may also be a great way to give mom a break! Available in a range of sizes and styles, there’s a pair of noise cancelling headphones to suit every activity. As one of the best tech gifts for Mother’s Day, wireless headphones are ideal for night feeds, housework, exercise and much more. They’re also great when working from home, to block out the noise and focus on the task at hand. Choose this Mother’s Day tech gift and allow mom to sit back and relax.

Looking for an extra personal touch? Put together her very own personalized playlist with some of her favorite tunes to get her feeling motivated throughout the day.

Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Most of us have a love/hate relationship with household chores, so anything that can help us along the way is a bonus. Although a smart vacuum cleaner won’t take the place of your regular model, it can make your life a little easier throughout the week. A robot vacuum can also get into those niggly places that your upright vacuum can’t – like under the sofa or below the bed! Plus, prices range from $50 dollars to $2,000, so there’s something for every budget.

Virtual Home Assistant

Available at a range of price points, home assistants are perfect Mother’s Day tech gifts. As well as playing music and answering questions, a virtual assistant comes with several uses that are great for the whole family:

Telling your children a bedtime story: Turning bedtime into a slightly more enjoyable activity for the little ones.
Creating a household intercom system: Making shouting the kids down for dinner that little bit easier.
Playing games: A range of games are available to download, including quizzes, mysteries and some of the classics.
Managing finances: From checking your balance to making bank transfers.

Home assistants are also compatible with a range of home appliances and devices, including smart photo frames – the next choice in our selection of cool tech gadgets for mom.

Smart Frame

What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than with a smart digital frame full of her favorite memories? The perfect way to share memories and make your mom feel extra special. Create a playlist full of your best family photos from over the years and get it set up ready for the morning. Better yet, why not pull together a selection of Mother’s Day photos from over the years to reminisce?

Put a ring on it with a smart ring

Get your loved one a ring that comes with a different kind of commitment.

Some smart rings even offer contactless payment, making it even easier to pick up last-minute candy or flowers for your Valentine!

There are various styles and colors available, so you’re sure to find something suitable for your partner. Each brand offers different features, tricks, and abilities, so it’s worth doing your research before you purchase.

Send the love with a Lovebox messenger

This is a simple and thoughtful way to send a message to your Valentine. The Lovebox is a small wooden box adorned with a spinning heart, and it could be personalized to suit your loved one’s personality. You just need to send your personalized message or drawing through the Lovebox app (available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store), and the heart will spin on the front of the box when your loved one receives your message! Draw them a love heart, tell them you’re thinking of them, or let the creativity flow through your fingertips with illustrations! A cheeky game of Pictionary is also a great way to ask them out on a date. Just lift the lid to see the message and share the love.

You can connect numerous people to your Lovebox to receive infinite love, so if your Valentine has long-distant relatives or friends that they care for, simply give them the ‘secret code’ so they can download the app and send their messages, too!

Put on a show with a home cinema projector

Don’t want to splurge on a fancy Valentine’s Day dinner? Have a cozy home viewing of your favorite movie in a homemade den with cushions, blankets, and fairy lights—the ideal setting for any romantic date. With a home cinema projector, all you need is a blank wall and a streaming device.

Sweep them away with some smart luggage

If your Valentine is a travel fanatic, a smart suitcase may be the ideal gift for them this year. They offer the chance to charge your personal electronic devices and come with their own GPS locators (just in case). And the chargers are removable, so there’s no need to worry about not being able to carry these cases on board. Several brands offer this in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors, so you’re guaranteed to find a smart suitcase out there for everyone.

Wrap up a Dyson Airwrap styler

This is the perfect Valentine’s Day tech gift for anyone with luscious locks to play with. With attachments for curling, waving, smoothing and drying, there are endless possibilities with a Dyson Airwrap. And unlike other hair styling tools, this gadget doesn’t use extreme heat that really damages your hair. Available in various sets and different models suited to all hair types.

Stay connected with a ‘friendship’ touch lamp

These ‘friendship’ colored lamps help you to connect with your long-distance loved one, making it an ideal techy Valentine’s gift. All you need to do is touch your lamp and it will light up—but what you won’t see is that your loved one’s lamp will light up, too. This is a sweet way to let your Valentine know you’re thinking about them.

Let your love grow in an indoor smart garden

With greenery becoming an ever-popular home décor essential, an indoor smart garden is a perfect gift for a sweetheart with a green thumb. This smart contraption comes with all the benefits of owning your own garden without all the work, making it suitable anywhere, whether you live in a high-rise flat or a studio apartment. Grow your own herbs, flowers, and plants, all from the comfort of your living room. Perfect for anyone who loves to nurture their plant babies, it’s really the gift that keeps on giving.

Play it cool with a record player

Whether they’re an R&B and pop fan or they prefer the timely classics, there’s something magical about vinyl records. They offer a musical experience that’s like no other, creating the perfect atmosphere for a romantic holiday. Paired with vinyl copies of their favorite artists’ albums or singles, this is the ideal Valentine’s Day tech gift for any music fan.

Share the love with a dual heart iPhone charging cable

Sick of having to share a single charger between the two of you? Whether you’re on a road trip or sharing a phone charger at home, the Kikkerland dual heart iPhone charging cable with a USB port offers a simple and sweet solution. Two lightning connectors joined together with a heart—how much more romantic can you get?

Picture your romance on a Nixplay digital photo frame

You simply can’t go wrong with a digital photo frame, whether to display and share your own romantic couple photos or showcase treasured family memories. Set up a playlist that includes some of their favorite photos for them to look back on, whether that’s straight from Facebook or Instagram or from your mobile phone.
