Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Did it sneak up on your this year? It’s time to choose the perfect gift for her.

Some moms can be picky, while others will say they love whatever you give them. Either way, picking out the right present can be tough. So, where should you start? How about the best tech gifts that won’t be hard to learn to use?

Every mom could use a gadget here and there to make life more comfortable, entertaining and convenient. If she’s not tech-savvy at all, no problem. We have options for her, too. Here are 13 gift ideas she’s sure to love.

1. For the mom who rocks

Sony MDRZX110NC Noise Cancelling Headphones

Sony MDRZX110NC Noise Cancelling Headphones

Maybe mom doesn't like in-ear headphones. She'll really appreciate these noise cancelling headphones. After all, no one ever leaves mom alone, right? She can block out the rest of the world while she works, relaxes, dances, sings or just wants to throw a great mini concert in the living room.

Promising review: "I work in a large office where there is a lot of noise. Since I do data entry, it's hard most of the time to relax and do my job in peace because of people laughing, eating, smacking and talking loudly ... This was the third pair of "noise canceling" headphones I have purchased but the ONLY ones that absolutely block the noise. I would highly recommend these."

2. The timeless gift

Lavish Home LED Candle with Remote Control-Rose Ball Design Scented Wax

Lavish Home LED Candle with Remote Control-Rose Ball Design Scented Wax

Giving mom flowers on Mother's Day is a classic move. But instead of fresh flowers, which eventually wilt, get her a remote-controlled LED rose ball candle. It'll stay beautiful forever. There are two brightness settings and it emits a subtle rose aroma. Perfect for any dining or coffee table.

Promising review: "I gave this as a gift and the recipient loved it! The rose scent was very nice and more intense than I thought it would be , since, of course, the candle doesn't actually burn. The remote control was a nice touch."

3. For the reader

2020 Apple iPad - Gold (8th Generation)

2020 Apple iPad - Gold (8th Generation)

If mom likes to read, consider the Apple iPad. She can shop online for all the books she wants and download them straight to her device. It's also great for playing games, working remotely, using FaceTime for video visits and so much more. We recommend this over laptops for many folks!

Promising review: "It is faster than my PC to start, upload and download. I enjoy using it throughout the house. I also use my Kindle app and enjoy reading on it, as it is larger and brighter than my Kindle. "

4. Let there be books

Kindle Paperwhite

Kindle Paperwhite

Some people don't want to be interrupted with notifications and calls when they're trying to read. If that sounds like your mom, get her the Kindle Paperwhite. It doesn't keep you connected the way a smartphone or iPad does. She can turn off her phone, head to a comfortable chair and read from her Kindle Paperwhite in peace.

Promising review: "What would I do without my Kindle? I use it all the time, and really enjoy the convenience of the built-in light and the touch screen. I also love the fact that I can quickly look up a word I don't yet know (especially for medieval history fiction). I've been a voracious reader my entire life, and never thought I would go so smoothly from paper to an electronic book. One of the best things I've ever done."

5. Time to relax

iRobot Roomba 675 Robot Vacuum

iRobot Roomba 675 Robot Vacuum

It's hard work being a mom, so if you can offer just a bit of help with the daily chores, she'd probably appreciate it. Get her the iRobot Roomba. No more daily sweeping for mom! Now, she can just plug it in, set it up and let the iRobot clean the carpets and hard wood floors for her.

Promising review: "This Roomba is amazing. We have 4 pets inside our house and it was a daily struggle to keep up with all the dog hair. This has saved me a lot of time, and our floors look great. No more leftover dog hair. I would highly recommend this item to anyone with inside pets."

6. The gift that keeps on giving

AeroGarden Black Harvest Indoor Hydroponic Garden

AeroGarden Black Harvest Indoor Hydroponic Garden

Does mom have a green thumb? Or maybe she struggles to keep plants alive. The AeroGarden Indoor Hydroponic Garden comes with gourmet herb seeds and allows six plants to grow up to a foot tall without water or soil. Once the herbs are ready, mom can just rehome them outside and start growing more indoor plants.

Promising review: "I have a black thumb, which I think is important to add ... I planted everything ... it takes care of itself and they grow a little bit more each day. It's the most exciting part of my morning routine. [While] my coffee brews, I admire my plants!"

Jessica Simpson Women's Plush Marshmallow Slide on House Slipper Clog with Memory Foam

Moms everywhere deserve to be comfortable around the house, meaning she's going to need some memory foam slippers. She can just slide them on and enjoy. The bottoms of these slippers grip the floor and the memory foam offers plush comfort.

Promising review: "This is a slipper. A real slipper. Not a shoe sole with some soft stuff on the top. This is just what I wanted! Super soft material on the top. Enough comfort and cushion on the bottom. Non-skid bottom but not a clunky shoe sole and easy to slip on and off. Perfection!"
