What the Tech: Gadget gifts most moms would like this year
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - With Mother’s Day right around the corner, we have rounded up a few tech gadgets we think most moms would like. Even if they think they don’t want a tech gadget.
If your mom spends time scrolling through TikTok or Instagram or enjoys reading on her phone, she will love a Bluetooth scrolling ring. These small devices pair with any smartphone and let her scroll with a simple tap of her finger. No more awkward two-hand swiping while cooking, exercising, or relaxing in bed.
It also works with the Kindle app for flipping pages and can pause videos or skip songs. They’re also great for snapping photos when it’s hard to reach the shutter button during a selfie. Most cost around $20.
Forget bulky PopSockets. The Oh Snap clip-on phone grips are sleek, magnetic, and thin enough for her phone to still fit in a pocket. They are also wireless charging-friendly and can be moved between phones and tablets. It is a simple upgrade that makes everyday phone use easier.
What the Tech: App of the day, Signal
If you’ve never used the Signal app yourself, our Consumer Technology Reporter Jamey Tucker says, you might want to use it for all of your text messages.
If Mom is still using earbuds from a few years ago, it is time for an upgrade. Apple’s AirPods are a popular option, but the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds offer richer sound and longer battery life. For moms who want to stay aware of their surroundings while listening to music, the Shokz open-ear earbuds are a great choice. They deliver clear audio without blocking out the world around her.
No one enjoys cold coffee. A smart mug, such as the one from Ember, keeps her drink at the perfect temperature for over an hour and recharges on a wireless coaster. It is a thoughtful gift she might not expect but will quickly come to love.
A high-capacity Anker portable power station with 165 watts can charge her phone, tablet, laptop, and earbuds at the same time. Some models even include a built-in retractable cable so she never has to search for the right cord. These power banks are game changers for busy moms who work remotely or wait for soccer practice to end.
Whether she enjoys fitness, coffee, reading, or simply staying powered up throughout the day, these tech gifts are a meaningful way to show your appreciation this Mother’s Day.
