2011 Mother's Day Gift Guide
Treat Mom to a high-tech gift she’ll use every day with our Mother’s Day gift guide.
Buying a gift for the mother in your life, whether it be your own or your children’s, can be a tricky enterprise. You have to avoid certain stereotypically “mother” inspired gifts, and the same holds true for tech-inspired presents. Yes, there are some very cool high-tech baby monitors and vacuum cleaners on the market, but no mother wants one of those on her special day. In other words, her tech-inspired gift should be about her. So without further ado, here are our top tech picks for mom. Whether you’re giving her something she’ll lust after or simply love, this gift guide’s got something for everyone. Google TV , $400 and up
Four-hundred clams is a big chunk of change to throw down, but isn’t mom the one who birthed you or the significant smaller people in your life? Doesn’t she deserve to have all the household music, movies, home videos, TV shows, photos from the family vacation, and apps easily viewable on her TV screen, with access to anything Internet to boot? She can even “fling” a video or song to the TV instantly from a networked PC. I know one mother who would squeal with delight to own one of these Google TV packages, available from Logitech and Sony.
iPad 2 , $500 and up
The original iPad was a boon to moms everywhere, allowing them to organize their schedules, finances, health, and even playdates (yes, there are apps for that). They can also entertain themselves (not to mention kids) with books, movies, and games, educate with brain teasers, puzzles, and language lessons. The lighter and thinner iPad 2 improves upon the first iteration by adding built-in cameras so she can videochat with kids away at college. The slick new magnetic Smart Cover in several different colors also lets you customize it just for her. Sure, you could bide your time and wait for the iPad 3, but the fact that you didn’t will make the mom in your life feel that much more special.
Mount Me Mobile iPad Mount , $50
MountMe is the perfect companion for any trip, whether you’re taking mom for a much-deserved weekend getaway, or the whole family is packed in the minivan for a road trip. This handy mount attaches to car or plane seats, boats, walls, mirrors, desktops and more via either the attachable strap or suction cups. She can even mount it at home in the kitchen for easy access to her Epicurious app.
