Whether that be a robot vacuum, so she can sit on the couch drinking wine while it cleans, or a new phone to replace her aging one, or something else. We have loads of ideas here, and there’s something for every budget.

As mentioned, this list has a ton of different gifts, all of which are going to be great to get your Mother this year for Mother’s Day. Now these are mostly tech centric Mothers Day gifts. So do keep that in mind.
iRobot Roomba j7+
The new iRobot Roomba j7 uses a camera in the front, which is able to identify obstacles better, in your home. Obstacles like cords, shoes and even pet waste. In fact, iRobot is so sure that it will avoid pet waste, that it is guaranteeing that it will avoid it. It does come with a new auto-empty dock that can still hold up to 60 days of dirt and debris. It’s a great option for hands-free cleaning, as it can empty itself and avoid other obstacles around your home. Of course, if you don’t want to get the auto-empty dock you can get it with the regular dock for a few hundred bucks less.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Price: $1,199Buy: Samsung.com
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is no surprise as our pick for the best overall smartphone right now. It checks literally every box out there, including having a stylus. Samsung basically took its Galaxy S Ultra smartphone and the Galaxy Note Ultra and merged them into a single device, giving us the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Samsung has outfitted the Galaxy S22 Ultra with a massive 6.8-inch QHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, starting at 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It does go up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage though, for additional costs. It also has some slightly updated camera sensors compared to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and the S Pen is no built-in. And no longer an additional purchase. Galaxy S22 Ultra - Samsung.com
Google Pixel 6
If you want something that’s a big cheaper, the Google Pixel 6 is a really great smartphone, coming in at just $599. Which makes the fact that it is the best battery life smartphone even more incredible. But as we found out in our review, the Pixel 6 is a battery life champ. Google outfitted the Pixel 6 with 6.4-inch FHD+ display, there’s the new Tensor chipset inside with 8GB of RAM included. That also comes with 128GB of storage too.
iRobot Braava Jet M6
Technically, this is not a robot vacuum. But we’d thought we would include it since a lot of the mopping on other robot vacuums that include it, just isn’t good. But with the Braava Jet M6, it is really good. You can often times bundle this with another Roomba robot vacuum at a pretty good price, so that is worth checking out. The Braava Jet M6 on the other hand, is pretty incredible. It has a precision jet spray, which is good for getting up tough grease and other dirt off the floor. It still uses the smart mapping that other iRobot Roomba’s use, so it can run back and forth until it has cleaned the entire house. Finally, this is really great for open spaces. Obviously, it is not something that a lot of people are going to buy, unless the majority of their house is not carpeted. If just your kitchen and bathroom are not carpet, then it’s not really worth it to buy this.
Sony A9G
Why not get your mom a new TV for Mother’s Day? The Sony A9G is the newest OLED TV from Sony, and it’s one of the best OLED TVs out there right now. Of course, it’s price does indicate that. This is part of the MASTER series from Sony, which means that it was calibrated by film makers to make sure that you see the picture they intended. Meaning that the picture is more true-to-life than almost anything on the market. It’s powered by the X1 Ultimate processor, which is Sony’s best processor and it analyzes content to bring out OLED’s intense contrast with pure blacks, peak brightness and natural colors. It’s also a really great TV to pair with the PlayStation 5. With a dedicated gaming mode for a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.
Ring Solar Pathlight
If you have a nice pathway from the curb or sideway, to your front door, then you’ll want to grab the Ring Solar Pathlight. These are pretty inexpensive at $25 each, and also are smart. So they can turn on whenever you need them too. Whether that is when you get home from work, or when the sun goes down. But perhaps the best part of this light is the fact that it is solar-powered. So you won’t need to worry about paying electricity for leaving these on all night long. That is really nice. If you own other Ring products, like the doorbell, or floodlights, then this is the route to go. As it does also work with your other Ring products, all within the same app.
LIFX Beam Seamless Light Module
LIFX Beam is another one of our favorite smart accent lighting pieces that you can pick up for Mother’s Day. These can be placed anywhere really, but honestly, it’s great to put on the wall behind a TV, or around a door frame. Giving you a really cool look. The LIFX Beam is super simple to setup. Beams click together end to end. Included command strips allow you to place them exactly where you want. Simply download the app, connect to Wi-Fi and you’re ready to go. Connected Lighting and scenes for your space, time of day, and mood. Choose from 16 million colors with flexibility to dim. And it works with your favorite digital assistants, no matter what platform you use.
Anker Nano Pro
Anker has been embracing GaN chargers in the last couple of years, and the Nano Pro is a really impressive charger from the company. It’s a dual USB-C charger, so you can charge two USB-C devices at the same time here. It can output 40W total, or 20W each port. So even if you plug in something else, you’re still going to get the full 20W. This is a great charger for everyone, whether you use an iPhone, Galaxy, OnePlus or even want it for a laptop. Though it will charge a laptop pretty slowly since it is only 20W.
