The Best Tech Gifts for Mother’s Day 2025

The latest Roku streaming sticks, whether you opt for the lower-cost HD or one that supports 4K TVs, are great small gifts to turn any television into a smart TV. It also lets mom project Roku content onto other screens in the house over Wi-Fi.

No mom has time to scroll through hundreds or thousands of photos scattered in Apple Photos or Google Photos. A Frameo digital picture frame is easy to set up, and once loaded with photos sent from your phone over Wi-Fi, the 10-inch screen will uplift the mood in any room.

Real flowers will wilt and die within a few days. But a bouquet of Lego flowers? They’ll get dusty like all completed Lego sets inevitably do, but they’ll last forever. For an added touch: get her favorite scent and give the plastic bouquet a light spritz.

Harmonies, with its evocative art style, is the kind of game that builds relationships rather than tearing them down. It’s simple to teach, but it maintains a surprising depth as each player tries to build a habitat for a number of cutesy animals. You’ll never end up in a situation where players rage against each other, as you’ll be working on your own board to make the most out of your habitats.

While It Takes Two, Hazelight Studios’ other co-op adventure game, is still a great gift for couples, Split Fiction offers a similarly zany and imaginative adventure for two players. It’s the kind of game where sitting side by side with your mom might bring you a little closer.

Mario Party games are the perfect after-dinner romp (yes, you should be cooking dinner for a mom on this special day). Super Mario Party Jamboree has just the right amount of backstabbing to make sure the mother in your life will still want to talk to you the next morning.

It takes a few days to adjust to using a vertical mouse like the Logitech Lift—you grip it like you’re shaking someone’s hand—but once you do, your wrist will be in heaven. If mom is spending all day at the computer, this could help alleviate some wrist pain.

Magnetic iPhone battery cases are a dime a dozen. The 10,000mAh Ridge Magnetic Power Bank stands out with two built-in cables (USB-C and Lightning), an Apple Watch charger, and a kickstand. It’s truly a versatile all-in-one battery pack.

If the mother you’re celebrating grew up with a Game Boy in her pocket, this gift will pack plenty of nostalgia. Modern retro handhelds like the Anbernic RG35XXSP offer the right amount of portability and excellent controls. Just be sure to fill it with her favorite old games first.

For moms who travel often, Satechi’s OntheGo 3-in-1 Charger can charge up an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once. When not needed, the whole thing folds up for easy storage.

If mom is still using wired earbuds or headphones, it’s time to go wireless. Apple’s AirPods 4 come in two models: with and without active noise cancellation. There’s no going wrong with either, unless mom prefers wireless earbuds with in-ear tips; in which case, consider the AirPods Pro 2.

Moms who game may already be very familiar with the Slay the Spire video game. But whereas that single-player title isn’t a great option to spend quality time together, Slay the Spire in board game form is perfect for a lengthy co-op session with players trying to build decks to defeat a number of wacky and weird beasties.

Sure, mom can snap photos with a smartphone, but can she hang them on the fridge or stash them in a wallet to show friends and family? Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 41 prints business card-sized photos, and mom will look rad with the vintage-looking camera slung around her chest.

Besides helping to stave off carpal tunnel syndrome, a mechanical keyboard is just a damn more enjoyable typing experience. With rosewood accents and quiet switches, Keychron’s wireless K4 HE is a computer upgrade plenty of moms will appreciate.

Whatever mom’s music tastes are, the JBL Flip 7 will deliver. This compact Bluetooth speaker cranks out big sound, can survive a tumble, and has long-lasting battery life. It’s great for parties indoors and outside.

If you weren’t able to snag a Switch 2 for mom (and it’ll arrive late, starting on June 5), the Switch Lite is still a great device to play the handheld’s massive library of games. Everything from Super Mario Wonder to Animal Crossing: New Horizon to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will run great. The Lite also comes in more fun colors and fits better in purses or smaller bags.

It only took 17 years for Amazon to release a Kindle e-reader with a color E Ink display, but the Colorsoft is here, and it’s glorious, especially if mom is into reading comics. Black and white is fine, but color ebooks just have an extra pop.

The Ninja Swirl by CREAMi is the perfect way to make sure there’s always a special treat handy. The device can make several different kinds of soft serve or frozen yogurt with any ingredients you have on hand. Plus, its main controls look like a face that’s just as surprised as you will be when mom tries to make peanut butter mint-flavored ice cream.

Dyson’s Airwrap is one of the most popular products of its kind, for a good reason. It’s a multi-tool for curling hair, but unlike other similar products that use heat to do the job, the Airwrap uses powerful airflow to help create a variety of styles. It also comes with a fanless hairdryer attachment.

A robovac is the kind of gift that just keeps on giving. Not only does the Roborock S8+ vacuum and mop floors for you, it even self-empties up to 7 weeks’ worth of debris into a dust bag. This little bot is basically a Rosey the Robot you can own today.
