When we think about gifts that moms will appreciate, the idea of "time" comes up a lot. If you can give the mom in your life a few hours back to do whatever — relaxing, creating, or getting things done— do that. The next best thing is a device that'll help mom make the most of her time. We've rounded up some clever gadgets and useful gear that we've tried out ourselves, so we can confirm they're worthwhile.
Mother's Day is coming up quick. If you're still trying to figure out a good gift, we have some ideas. Here at Engadget, our minds reflexively focus on tech. While it's true an electronic gadget might not be the “traditional” Mother’s Day gift — just about every mom we know would prefer a cool new piece of tech over a short-lived bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates. A number of us collaborated on this guide, filling it with gadgets and services we've tested, used, or even given to the moms in our own lives.
