Hi Tech Gifts For Mother's Day
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Are you at wit's end when trying to decide what to get your Mom or your wife for the upcoming holiday in her honor? It's easy to slip into an unthinking pattern of buying the same sorts of presents for her every year, one after another. Flower, candy, that sort of thing. And there's certainly nothing wrong with that approach occasionally, but if you've done it over and over and over, it's time to look for a new approach to shopping for the Mom or Moms in your life for this Mother's Day. Check out the following paragraphs for some cool tips. By the way, I'm a 35 year old man who lives in his Mom's basement, so I know what I'm talking about!
1. Get her an iPod or other mp3 player. Everyone wants their mom to be "hip" and "with it", and if your wife or mother doesn't have her own mp3 player, such as an iPod, she's the furthest thing from being "hip" or "with it". In fact, shel going to be at the bottom of the totem pole socially. Is that the life you want for your wife or mother? Not getting invited to the "right" parties? Being an outcast? Of course not. So, if you love your Mom, and she doesn't have an mp3 player, get her one for Mother's Day. She'll be one of the beautiful people in no time!
2. Keep your Mom from going to jail. Yes, you read that right. There's a good chance your Mom could wind up in jail next year, for disorderly conduct, disturbing the peach, resisting arrest, etc. Don't believe me? Then I guess you haven't heard about the federal law that kicks in in 2009 making all TV stations switch to high definition digital broadcasts. When that date rolls around, if there are still millions of people who haven't prepared, it's not going to be pretty when they no longer have TV. So get your Mom a new HD set, or a converter gadget for her old one. Nobody wants to see Mom get sent up the river!
3. Satellite radio. Unless your Mom speaks Spanish, or enjoys teeny bopper music, or gets off on 15 straight hours of some blowhards foaming at the mouth about politics and how America is going to heck in a hand basket, there's probably not much for her to listen to when it comes to local radio. There might be one or two stations, but that's about it, and that's not much choice. But with a satellite radio receiver, she can choose from hundreds of genres and formats, most of which are commercial free. And you can get her a receiver for the car, for the home, or a sport receiver for jogging, etc.
4. New computer. Unless your Mom's Amish or Mennonite, she probably already has a computer. But there's a strong probability that it's outdated. If not, great. But if that's the case, why not get Mom a brand new set up? They get cheaper and better every year, and Mother's Day is a great time to get your own Mom the very latest - a much faster computer with lots more memory and storage. Think she'd like that? I bet she would. (If not, you can always get me one.) Or maybe she's got a nice 'puter, but she still has one of those monitors from the Dark Ages? Then get her a nice flat screen!
5. Get Mom a nice compact home stereo system. The advances in audio technology the past few years have been absolutely incredible. You might've grown up thinking that small meant low quality and poor sound, and back then you were right. But not anymore. Forget the huge component systems and speakers the siize of a recliner. That stuff is history. Now good audio comes in small packages. Check out names like Klipsch and Henry Kloss if you doubt it. Not only is high end audio much smaller than it used to be, it's also much less expensive. So no excuses, cheapskates!
6. Digital camera. Like most Moms, I'm guessing that your mother has one or more children? Am I right? I thought so. And, if she's like most Moms, she loves to take pictures of her kids and/or grandkids. (Not my Mom, though. For some reason, she seems to think she has plenty of pictures of me and doesn't want anymore. In fact, no matter how many photos of me I give her, she always says no thanks. Go figure.) Well, how about getting her a snazzy new digital camera? Like everything else, they're getting better and cheaper every year, so if she already has one, you might be able to give her a much better one.
7. Espresso machine. Does your Mom hang out at Starbucks or some other place that sells gourmet coffee drinks? If so, that's costing her a lot of money over a year's time. if you don't believe me, just drop in the store yourself some time. Talk about sticker shock! You'd better hope they carry smelling salts! (Of course, they'd probably charge you for those, too!) But your Mom doesn't have to spend tons of money at Starbucks to get a delicious cup of coffee. There are a wide variety of well made espresso machines, and one of them would make a lovely Mother's Day gift.
