Mother's Day is mere days away but you still have time to find the perfect tech gift. Whether she's a homebody, a fitness buff, a creative type or even a dog mom, we've got a few ways to help celebrate her day. As a mom myself, here are a few ideas I think she might enjoy (pssst...you may want to check out your favourite retailers online for some Mother's Day offers)! 

Apple Watch Series 7: If your mom has been eyeing the Apple Watch this latest in the series is the most durable and has the largest most advanced screen to date. With mom always on the go, the Watch will keep up with her day without missing a beat..or call...or email...or text. She'll also be able to access her favourite Fitness+ sessions (Time to Walk and Time to Run are popular programs exclusive to Apple Fitness+) on the go. The Apple Watch also gently reminds you to be mindful in your day and keep track of your activities, health and wellness goals. She won't worry about damage as this series is crack resistant, water resistant and dust resistant.  

 

iPad Air: The latest version is great for multi-tasking moms and moms on the go. This is considered the most powerful and versatile iPad Air ever! She can keep everyone organized, watch her favourite shows, take amazing photos and videos with the new Ultra Wide front camera with Centre Stage, catch up on work, draw, read the latest bestsellers, play her favourite pass-the-time games and so much more all at an affordable price point. Great for commuting, at home, on vacation, and even at the hockey arena while the kids are at practice. If you're looking for a new iPhone for her, FYI Apple offers free next-day delivery for any in-stock iPhone and same-day two hour delivery in most major cities.

 

Fitbit Sense Smartwatch: no matter what fitness level and activity interest, the Fitbit Sense does so much to help us achieve our health and wellness goals. Whether it’s a brisk walk, HIIT, cycling or even meditation this device helps mom keep tabs on calories burned, heart rate, oxygen levels, stress levels, and much more. I love that the battery will also keep charge for up to 6 days. 

 

 

Cricut Maker Machine: for the creative mom, this crafty device is on the top of every maker’s wishlist. The smart cutting machine with it’s array of tools is great for those artsy projects from jewelry, home decor, card making, and much more. This device can cut through materials quickly and precisionly from the most delicate paper and fabric to the toughest mat boards and leather. We found this pro level cutting model on a really good sale at Staples.ca (regular $469.99 on sale for $299.99 CDN at time of publishing) Link here. 

 

 

Click and Grow Smart Indoor Garden: for all year round indoor needs this compact garden takes little counter space so mom can have fresh herbs within reach. The device expertly monitor the health, growth and life cycle of our little plant babies. Several sizes and variations available. Plant pods/seeds also available for purchase on the site. 

 

Lululemon/MIRROR: this interactive at-home gym “mirror” has recently launched with a number of focused programs including the latest dedicated pre/postnatal class created by fitness experts. The offerings are meant to safely and effectively support mothers-to-be on their pregnancy health journeys. The workout library has over 10,000 in the selection on demand. 

 

KitchenAid Blender with Glass Jar: whether mom is a cook, baker, or smoothie expert she may be interested in upgrading her kitchen blender with the latest KitchenAid Blender in this year's gorgeous Beetroot colour. Not only is this powerful with even the toughest of ingredients but it blends to a variety of textures. Also, our team not-so-surprisingly instantly fell in love with the KitchenAid 7 speed cordless hand mixer (game changer, really) that has impressed us with those last minute school bake-sale requests. 

 

Filtrete Smart Room Air Purifier: We’re in spring allergy season and still much aware of airborne viruses. This sleekly designed air purifier works well to keep allergens at bay in any much loved rooms. Monitor and clean your air 24/7 with these easy-to-use connected devices automatically improve the quality of the air you breathe, taking action when air quality issues arise at home.

 

iRobot Braava jet m6 robot mop: great for cleaning hard floors in the home especially after pups track indoors with their muddy paws. Dog moms won’t need to spend additional time cleaning. With the downloaded app, this handy robot mop moves throughout the living spaces and cleans without fuss. 

 

GRY Mattr & home office refresh: Mom is still working from home? Maybe time to refresh a few items this spring with stylish and functionally designed items we found with GRY Mattr created by Joe Mimram exclusive to Staples Canada. The charging pad charges devices really fast and ideal for her office space. Even if she's returning to the office, she'll find these fresh new commuter bags ideal to keep everything in place. We also love the selection of BlueTooth speakers including this UE Boom that's compact with incredible sound so mom can have her playlists close by.
