Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and it can often be the hardest holiday to buy for, but I’ve put together a list of tech items covering off everything from sound to gaming to health and I guarantee that any of these will go down an absolute treat with mum.
WITHINGS SCANWATCH LIGHT
The ScanWatch Light is one of the best smart watch choices on the market currently. It has a samll 37mm frame and that same great 30 day battery life as other Withings devices. It can monitor your sleep and basic heart rate tracking. It’s available for $373 from Amazon HERE.

TWELVESOUTH HIRISE 3
This is without doubt my favourite wireless charger. It can charge your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch wirelessly without taking up too much space on your bedside table. You can grab it from Amazon for $150.
EMBER SMART MUG
The Ember Cup and Mug are temperature controlled smart cups. It lets you set the temperature to keep your hot beverage warm. It can be controlled by your smart phone, and also has a battery to keep to warm off charge for an hour or two. It’s available on Amazon for $189 HERE.
SONOS MOVE 2
If your mum is someone who is always outside or in the garden, the Sonos Move 2 is a great portable speaker that works both inside the house, but also outside the house with Bluetooth connectivity. You can grab it from the Sonos Store for $799.

SONOS ERA 100
The Sonos Era 100 is one of my favourite smart speakers on the market. It has stereo speakers and a fantastic sounding sound full of bass. You can Bluetooth to it, connect it to your home Wi-FI or even send music over Apple AirPlay 2. You can grab it from the Sonos store for $399.

CRICUT JOY XTRA
Give a gift that keeps on giving, because honestly the Cricut Joy Xtra has what feels like endless uses. The perfect machine for someone who’s just starting out on their Cricut journey, giving the flexibility for smaller to large scale and more complicated projects. You can grab the Cricut Joy Xtra starter bundle for $398.

A NEW CONTROLLER
If your mum is a gamer, there’s nothing better than a new controller. If she’s a PlayStation gamer, it’s hard to go past this gorgeous, vibrant DualSense controller for $99.
ANKER POWER BANK
You can never go wrong with a power bank and I highly recommend the Nano 10k, that has enough charge to get a few phone charges out of it, but it’s also light enough that you can sling it in a hand bang. It’s currently available on Anker website HERE.
KOBO COLOUR E-READERS
Kobo Libra Colour and Kobo Clara Colour which are the first colour e-ink e-readers from the company. Both devices have a new colour e-ink Kaleido 3 display which retain the same e-ink technology found in the black and white versions. You can find the Kobo Libra Colour on Amazon HERE.
APPLE AIRPODS
I gave my mum a new set of Apple AirPods last year, and you really can’t go wrong with them. They’re compatible with any phone or computing device. Whether it be the second gen AirPods for $158 or the AirPods Pro Gen 2 for $348

INSTAX MINI 99
The INSTAX Mini 99 brings a bunch of new analogue control methods to change the look of your instant photos. The camera has a colour effect dial with six effects: Faded Green, Warm Tone, Light Blue, Soft Magenta, Sepia, and Light Leak which customise the photo before you take it. It’s available on Amazon for $280.
LOGITECH MAC KEYBOARD/MOUSE
If you’re buying for an Apple user, this Logitech combo is fantastic. The Logitech MX Master 3S is a fantastic all-purpose mouse and the Logitech MX Mechanical is a fantastic keyboard. Both are big improvements on the official Apple ones. The Logitech MX Master 3S mouse is $126 from Amazon and the MX Mechanical can be had for $171 from Amazon.
