Jou ma se favourite gadget gifts

Mother’s day is approaching, which means if you haven’t already, you should probably head out and buy her something nice to say thank you for putting up with you after all these years.

Flowers, chocolates and a card are mandatory, and you can top things off with one of the following cool gadgets.

Apple iPad 3

The most obvious choice as a gift for this mother’s day, the iPad 3 is bound to entertain your mom for hours on end. Whether it’s time spent exploding pigs in Angry Birds, reading through a PDF cookbook, or catching up on the latest news and social media via Flipboard.

If you don’t love your mom enough to buy her the iPad 3, you can always settle for the iPad 2 which is still on sale, though is that any way to repay the woman who carried you for 9 months?

Amazon Kindle

For mothers who enjoy reading, the Amazon Kindle is a must. Mills & Boons and Danielle Steel have never been this accessible thanks to the Kindle Wi-Fi + 3G version, and for the mom’s whose eyes aren’t what they once were, the Kindle DX is a larger, cheaper alternative.

iRobot Roomba 700 series vacuum cleaner

Does your mom vacuum at home? Bless her soul, and while you’re at it get her the iRobot Roomba this mother’s day. The Roomba vacuums a room by itself, no supervision required. Mom can go relax by the pool and play with her iPad while the Roomba cleans up after the mess you made the night before – how cool is that?

The roomba automatically adjusts for carpets, tiles or wooden floors, and vacuums under and around furniture, without leaving scuff marks on the couch or knocking over Mom’s prized flower vase.

On second thought, buy her two.

Nikon Coolpix S2600 Pink

Who doesn’t need a camera to record their daily life? I’ll tell you who does, your mom, that’s who. Since she can’t fit a full DSLR camera in her handbag, consider the Nikon Coolpix S2600, in pink.

Not only will the small point-and-click fit perfectly into her handbag, the colour will make it easy to spot next to the mini first aid kit, mini sewing kit, and mini kitchen sink that are also in her bag. The 14MP sensor is great for catching detailed images of her fantastic cooking, perfect garden, or extended family at clan gatherings. 5 x zoom and image stabilisation are also a bonus.

Senheiser CX300-II Precision

Remember that iPod you got for your mom last year like a good child? It’s time you upgrade her earphones, and the Senheiser CX 300-II precisions are the perfect fit.

These in-ear earphones are known for their great sound quality, and come with a small fake-leather pouch to keep them clean and safe from all the other items in mom’s hand bag.

Perfect for use while jogging, or privately listening to music and watching videos on her iPad, these stylish earphones are a must have for any active mom.
