So, you’re looking for a gift for your mum? What better than a nice tech upgrade so she can enjoy what the latest gadgets have to offer.
Now with most things, and especially tech, these items aren’t gender-specific. They don’t need to be pink and sparkly to appeal, it’s the usefulness that counts.
Therefore, much of the stuff on this list will work not only for moms, but also dads, non-binary parents, and anyone else. With that said, here are some of the best tech gifts we’ve come across.
The Roku Streaming Stick+ is one of the cheapest 4K HDR media streaming devices you can buy. It’s an HDMI stick that plugs into your TV, so it’s easy to set up, plus it supports voice search, and its agnostic in that it serves up content from just about any app or service out there.
But, if your mom is a Prime member, maybe consider the Fire TV Stick. It’s also cheap, has Prime Video, and supports Alexa commands and 4K HDR.

2. Incredible luxury
Hair styling

There’s basically no more luxurious way to dry your hair.
- Best dryer out there
- Amazing design
- So quick to use
The Dyson Supersonic hairdryer is top-of-its-game stuff. But the caveat – and there’s always a caveat – is that it completely disregards any notion of being affordable. Still, it looks great, dries your hair in double-quick time, and has the design ethos of a Mercedes and BMW combined. It’s an amazing bit of kit.

Smart displays are the future, so get your mom on board!
- Ideal for video calls

The Echo Show 8 is basically an Echo speaker, but with a display and a camera, and we’re fans of this 8-inch variant, although other sizes are available. It ups the ante on previous versions, especially in terms of the beefier sound. It’s super for a kitchen or communal space, and perfect for video calls if you want to keep up with your mom that way.

A perfet addition for anyone who struggles to hold their phone tight.
