1. Temperature-controlled smart mug
It’s easy for a busy mom to put her needs on the back burner. She might make a tasty cup of tea or coffee … only to run off to take care of someone else and leave her drink to cool off. Here’s an easy way she can make sure her drinks stay warm, no matter how many distractions there are. This temperature control smart mug has an 80-minute battery life, so her drinks remain warm and toasty no matter what.
Promising review: “I never seriously thought I’d own a Bluetooth coffee mug and be happy I did.”
2. Hummingbird feeder
Does your mom feel delighted when she sees hummingbirds fluttering around the house? Give her a little magic for Mother’s Day with this fancy yet affordable feeder. Its colorful orange design will be a lovely contrast with the green and blue feathers on the hummingbirds flying around. If she loves hanging around the garden, she’ll love this.
Promising review: “The hummingbirds LOVE these, and I love them so much I’ve ordered several. The design is well-thought-out, the glass is very thick, the feeder components are easy to assemble/disassemble for cleaning, and the materials aren’t plastic, so they don’t disintegrate in the sun. I worried about the metal getting too hot for the birds, but so far, 90-degree days haven’t deterred the hummers.”

Instagram wants to know this private detail or you have to give up the app
Sometimes you get a message and can’t respond to it right away. Or you need time to think of a reply. Or you may not want to reply at all. For whatever reason, you don’t want the sender to know that you read it.
Your phone’s SMS apps have a built-in feature to let people know when you’ve seen their messages, but you can turn this off in some cases. The same applies to Instagram, but it’s not as straightforward as you think. Tap or click here for a trick that keeps what you look at on social media private.
‘90s party at Polly’s: New to Airbnb, a life-sized Polly Pocket house in Massachusetts to celebrate her 35th birthday. You can try on clothes, make bracelets, and glam up with press-on nails and butterfly hair clips. The catch? Just like Polly’s house, there’s no roof, shower or blankets. You’ll be roughing it on a pullout couch.
