Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Surprise mom this year with a unique tech gift, instead of the same clichéd spa certificates and flowers.

So in what follows – we’ve assembled a list of irresistible tech gifts even moms would love.

Google’s voice-controlled smart speaker is a wonderful addition to any household. It’s intuitive to use and mom will certainly appreciate the extra help around the house.

It can also play music, set timers and control connected appliances across the house including smart light bulbs. It’s available for only $129.
HButler charging purse
Mom might not be a tech nerd, but she still carries a phone or maybe two and along with them a few charging cables. But what if you could charge your phone on the go without having to depend on a power outlet, wouldn’t that be nice? Well the HButler line of purses house a lightweight rechargeable battery of 4,000 mAh capacity. These purses include a hidden USB cable to charge the bag, and a cable to recharge the handset.
