An Earbud Deal That’ll Be Music To Her Ears

Your mom probably needs a little peace and quiet, which is why the active noise cancellation in the latest and greatest AirPods is a wonderful gift. We gave an Editors’ Choice award to the AirPods Pro 2 in PCMag’s review, praising the exceptional sound quality, effortless pairing with iOS devices, upgraded charging case and Find My support. Walmart has them on sale for 30% off right now. Mom will love their comfortable fit, simple setup, device-free Siri support and gestural controls as she rocks out to her favorite tunes.

A Digital Picture Frame Deal For All Her Favorite Memories

Moms love to look back on happy memories, and a digital picture frame lets them have instant access to as many family photos as they could ever want. We reviewed the Aura Mason frame, giving it an Editors’ Choice award and saying that it featured an exceptional screen that looked like a printed photo, the ability to work in landscape or portrait orientation, and simple setup and access routines. You can even pre-load it with photos and a gift message before Mother’s Day, and right now Amazon has it on sale for 15% off.

A Pocket Printer Deal For All Her Snaps

If your Mom wants to take her digital images into a traditional photo album, the Canon Ivy 2 is an affordable and cute way to do it. In our 2023 review of this compact device, we gave it an “Excellent” rating and praised its low running cost and high image quality. The accompanying Canon Mini app lets users easily send images from phones and tablets to the device, and Zero Ink technology means that everything you need is in the paper and there are no annoying cartridges to change. It even prints on stickers!

A Speaker Deal Worth Speaking Up About

If Mom’s not into headphones, maybe a cute but punchy Bluetooth speaker is the way to go? We gave an “Excellent” rating to Sony’s pint-sized SRS-XB100 in our review, noting that the unit was fully dustproof and waterproof with an IP67 rating, delivered remarkably rich and clear sound for its size across a variety of benchmarking songs, and worked great as a speakerphone thanks to a well-constructed internal microphone. With up to 16 hours of battery life in between each two hour charge, it’s a great pick for a mom on the go. A 20% price cut makes it a solid budget gift buy.

Two Ereader Deals That Need To Be Bookmarked

Keeping things organized is a key part of any mom’s life, which makes Amazon’s excellent Kindle Scribe ereader a top pick. In addition to its glare-free e-ink screen and access to the company’s massive library of books, magazines, and other texts, it comes with a stylus so she can jot notes in the margins, write down shopping lists, or just idly doodle as much as she wants to. We gave it a “Good” review, praising the Scribe’s great handwriting experience, comfortable feel and USB-C charging. You can get a 19% discount right now if you click fast.

If your mother needs a splash more color in her life, opt for the Kindle Colorsoft instead. This is Amazon’s first e-ink tablet with a color screen, and it’s an incredible upgrade on the technology that lets you enjoy text in a much more visually exciting way. In our review, we lauded the device’s wireless charging, durable build with IP68 waterproofing and innovative display, noting that it featured a front light that automatically adjusts to your conditions for optimal contrast. For comics, magazines, recipes and other image-heavy stuff, it’s one of the best e-reader options on the market.

A Massage Gun Deal To Reduce Mom’s Stress

Buying a massager for your mom can be a dicey deal, but the Theragun Mini is a great all-purpose option that will help her work out her stiffness. The compact triangular body is easy to hold and position on various body parts, and the trio of attachments (standard ball, dampener, and thumb) let the user customize their pressure to exactly how they need it. It’s great for tight shoulders, cramped calves and other body parts that bedevil a hard-working woman like your mother.

A Robot Vacuum Deal To Clean Up On

Cleaning is the bane of every mom’s existence, so why not take some of the pressure off by picking her up a self-motivated robot floor companion? We gave the Roomba j9+ an Editors’ Choice award in our review, raving about the robot’s increased battery life, better obstacle avoidance, and impressive suction power. With the new Dirt Detective functionality, it learns from how messy each area of your house is and adjusts its routes accordingly, and this model is also guaranteed to avoid pet poop or it’ll send you a replacement. Don’t tell Mom you got it for 22% off. Or maybe do, moms love deals!

A Smart Thermostat Deal To Keep Her Comfy

It’s usually a mother’s job to take care of all of the things that make a house a home, and it can be a lot of work. Why not take some of it off her hands with an AI-powered smart thermostat that uses pattern recognition and computing power to ensure stable temperatures while lowering utility bills. We reviewed the Google Nest Thermostat and raved about the stylish little unit’s large, bright display, easy installation and robust controls through a phone, tablet or voice commands with a compatible Alexa or Google smart speaker.

A Tablet Deal You Have To Swipe

A tablet is one of the most dependable tech gifts, because pretty much everybody will have a use for one. Whether it’s scrolling recipes, watching Netflix, answering emails, or a dozen other things, this fantastic Lenovo unit sits near the top of the heap. In our review of the Lenovo Tab Plus, we were impressed by its rich audio courtesy of eight built-in JBL speakers, its exceptional battery life, and ergonomic built-in kickstand. Running on the Android operating system, it’s a breeze to use and feels great in your hands, and at 14% off this is the lowest price we’ve seen in a long time.
