Super thin and ultra-sleek, the ChargeCard stainless steel phone charger is also built tough and treated with wear-resistant matte UV and electroplating.
The charger can handle the daily wear-and-tear usage from moms on the go — and has the stamina to match.
With a battery capacity of 5000mAh/3.85V 20W, the charger delivers lightning-fast gadget juicing up and can magnetically snap onto a smartphone for easy scrolling while it powers up.
The obvious draw here is the ultra-portability thanks to the razor-slim package — which resembles the dimensions of a small stack of credit cards. That also means the charger is lightweight, weighing in at just 3.5 ounces.
Another user-friendly touch is the LED power indicator lights, which keep users aware of how much power is left in the bank. Choose between high efficiency and low current modes to customize your charging experience.
Mom probably won't go for the jumbo, Dumbo-like over-the-ear headphones that are clunky, chunky, and a pain to pack — why not spring for these elegant noise-canceling stunners from Sennheiser, which thanks to the latest Qualcomm chipset now work with Bluetooth version 5.4, including compatibility with Auracast technology?
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 headphones deliver 7.5 hours on a single charge, and the case can then charge them up to three times for a total runtime of 30 hours. The USB-C port can also be found on the front, and the stylish case can be charged wirelessly on Qi-compatible charging mats.
The headphones are available in gray/black, copper/gray, and white/silver; have the manufacturer's logo engraved on both sides; and serve as touch surfaces for controlling various functions.
Does Mom have designs on being a social media star? Featuring a 1-inch CMOS sensor and 4K resolution at 120fps, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 delivers high-quality footage, while its compact form factor makes it well-suited for vlogging. The 2-inch touch screen, which rotates for versatile horizontal and vertical shooting, makes framing easy, and the advanced three-axis mechanical stabilization results in ultra-steady footage.
ActiveTrack 6.0 keeps everyone in focus while on the move, and fast, accurate focusing ensures sharp detail in every shot. Sound hasn't been neglected either, with the Osmo Pocket 3 boasting crystal-clear audio with stereo recording.
Whether filming vacations, sports events, in the garden, or on the go, this multifunctional pocket camera blows the old Polaroid box out of the water — Spielberg who?
Now that everyone's a professional photographer thanks to the proliferation of smartphones and their stunning camera capabilities, the likelihood that your family possesses a mountain of digital images is high — that goes double if grandkids or new babies have just entered the, ehm, picture.
Here's where Mason by Aura comes in — a sleek, freestanding frame with a stone-like finish that rotates photos automatically when you set it on the side. User-friendly setup for photo display is enabled through the WiFi-enabled Aura app, while complimentary, unlimited storage for both photos and videos comes free from subscription obligations.
The sleek frame adjusts brightness, crops photos, and even turns off at night. Friends and family can also add their photos to the collection from wherever they are.
A darling of CES 2024, this physical keyboard built into a silicone case that wraps around all of Apple's various iPhone 14 and 15 models (standard, Pro, and Max) is ideal for moms constantly messaging.
Tech nerds raved about the return of a physical keyboard option (calling all BlackBerry diehards) and the solid, tactile nature of the individual keys. Dedicated keys and keyboard shortcuts help make navigating apps and content a breeze, be it for chatting, browsing, or creating longer, more detailed notes on the go.
A pass-through port makes it easy to charge the iPhone per usual, and the eye-catching bright yellow or dark gray (a hot pink model has been glimpsed online but does not yet appear available) adds a design pop worthy of the famed Cupertino craftsmen at Apple.
A smart ring with celebrity appeal — both Prince Harry and Kim Kardashian have been seen wearing it (no comment). Built by Finnish company Oura Health, the latest version, Oura Ring 3, is a lightweight titanium loop that tracks various health metrics and offers personalized recommendations.
Waterproof up to 328 feet and resistant to extreme temperatures, the Oura Ring 3 features built-in sensors for real-time heart rate monitoring and pairs with a dedicated app. With motion, light, and temperature sensors, the Oura Ring tracks sleep quality, blood oxygen saturation, calories burned, breathing rate, heart rate, and skin temperature — a comprehensive health companion in a stylish package.
It's available exclusively from Oura Health's website, with prices starting from $350, with a monthly app membership fee of around $7. Customers receive plastic sample rings before purchase to ensure the perfect fit.
Upgrade Mom's reading experience with the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, loaded with features including wireless charging, auto-adjusting front light, and a hefty 32GB of storage.
A flush-front design and a glare-free display with 300 ppi give you the feeling of reading from a real book, even in the sunshine. An adjustable warm light keeps bookworms comfortably aglow day or night.
A single charge via USB-C or a compatible Qi wireless charger now lasts up to a whopping 10 weeks.
Now that she's got 32GB of storage, Kindle Unlimited offers unlimited access to over 2 million titles and thousands of audiobooks, while an Audible subscription and Bluetooth headphones or speakers allow for a hands-free reading experience.
The postman always rings twice, or so they say, but in the Amazon age of rapid-fire delivery, they may not have time for the follow-up, so any gadget that lets you scope out the front door is a plus.
The Ring Battery doorbell keeps moms connected to the doorstep with Head-to-Toe HD+ video complete with Color Night Vision and with motion detection.
Installation is made breezy through a simple connection between the Battery Doorbell Plus and your home WiFi network through the Ring app — mount it where you want with the included tools, while the included quick release battery pack makes recharging quick and easy.
For the archivist side of her, Ring Protect Plan allows users to record and review all videos, store photos for up to seven days, and share videos with others.
The device also pairs with a selection of Amazon Alexa-enabled devices for pre-recorded announcements and two-way talk, making in-home monitoring a breeze — Alexa can even make custom voice announcements and show live video feeds when the doorbell detects activity.
Who says only tech bros covet the very latest in ultra-cool, high-gloss technology? For the cutting-edge moms who must have the absolute latest in consumer gadgets, the Apple Vision Pro is a tough act to top.
Think of them as the ultimate smart glasses for the modern mom, packed with innovative features combining aspects of a personal assistant, fitness tracker, and entertainment hub, all wrapped in Apple's traditional sleek design.
When it's time for her to unwind (or escape), Mom can switch to entertainment mode and enjoy immersive audio and video experiences, from her favorite movies and TV shows to albums or playing games, delivered with top-notch visuals and sound.
All-day battery life and water-resistant design make them suitable for everywhere — if Mom doesn't mind going around looking a bit like Jane Jetson.
