Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and yet again, I am crafting a quick list of stuff you can get for your mom to celebrate this day.

This year, give her the gift of convenience through technology (and some accessories!). Sure, most moms are the least likely to tinker with tech, but here are a few things that your mom will probably love.

Pamper her with instant facials every day

The Foreo UFO is the perfect pampering tool for your mom. This tiny device gives an instant facial in 90 seconds — faster than any Korean facemask can. It’s also equipped with thermotherapy, cryotherapy, T-sonic pulsations, and LED light treatments. Yep, all that in this small puck.

Make phone handling easier with the most useful handset accessory ever

This teeny accessory is the PopSocket. It’s the most useful thing ever! Stick it onto your phone and it will serve as a handle and even a stand. I gave one to my mom and she hasn’t gone PopSocket-free since. For a more personalized gift, you can also customize it to put a design your mom will appreciate more.

Get your mom on track to a healthier lifestyle with this fashionable tracker

A happy mom is a healthy mom (well, that makes for healthy kids, too!). Get your mom on the right track to fitness with the Fitbit Versa. It’s a light, versatile device that will track health information, including sleep cycles and activities.

Give her the ultimate throwback phone

The Nokia 8110 4G is the perfect classic reboot. Dubbed the banana phone, this 2018 release gives you all the phone essentials in the cutest retro look. Plus, it comes in a cool yellow! Perfect for moms who aren’t really into smartphones yet (Yes, they still exist).

… or get a good case for her phone!

This pretty spring-themed leather folio makes for a perfect accessory for your mom’s iPhone. It makes sure her phone is protected and those pockets mean extra space for cards and more. They come in the cutest colors, too: Electric Blue and Soft Pink.

Get your mom a smart assistant she can always rely on

Okay, Google. You think my mom will like this? Now, your mom will be able to accomplish a lot of tasks by voice commands with the new Google Home Mini! It also comes in great colors and a texture that will look great in your home.

Get her the best vacuum ever

Sure, it’s a vacuum. But, this isn’t just any vacuum. The Dyson V8 Carbon Fibre is the cutting edge in household tech, the Rolls Royce of vacuums! It’s one of the lightest, most powerful cleaning machines around. This means you’ll have an easier time for when you decide to start cleaning for your mother — which is honestly the true gift in this scenario.

Huawei has released its latest TWS Bluetooth earbuds — the FreeBuds Pro 2 — in the Philippines.

The FreeBuds Pro 2 will retail for PhP 9,999 via Huawei’s Shopee and Lazada shops, online stores, authorized retail outlets.

The device will be available in Silver Blue, Ceramic White, and Silver Frost, with an installment payment option.

ANC 2.0: Creating a quiet world

The latest earbuds feature an adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) technology, along with the original integrated call noise cancellation to enable users to dynamically listen to their preferred music or content.

This intelligent ANC 2.0 takes what noise cancellation is capable of even further, as the FreeBuds Pro 2 can accurately identify and judge the external sound field environment with changes.

For instance, when a user is in the subway, the noise cancellation effects deepen and reduces severe low-frequency noise. In contrast, when in coffee shops, the ANC intelligently adapts. In any case, the earbuds keep users immersed to whatever they’re listening to.

On top of this innovative technology, the FreeBuds Pro 2 has up to 30 hours of playback time, thanks to its 580mAh charging case. Boosted by its 11mm driver, the earbuds is also rated IP 54 for splash, water, and dust resistance.

It’s never too late to accessorize for your new iPhone 14 Pro. With Apple’s price tags still as high as they are, it’s important to protect your investment for the next few years. Unfortunately, a lot of rugged cases don’t prioritize fashion. If you’re looking for the perfect blend of glitz and protection, look no further than Nomad and its new Ultra Orange lineup.

The new lineup of cases — built specifically for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max — are delectably minimalist. The orange polycarbonate frame with a PET backplate can both protect your new phone and dazzle while on the go. Plus, durable TPU bumpers saves your hardware from drops of up to 15 feet.

Meanwhile, dual lanyard slots will add convenience if you need both hands for something else. Also, if you’ve bought into Apple’s wireless charging system, the Nomad case is still compatible with the brand’s MagSafe products.

To complement your phone, the collection also has an Ultra Orange sports band for the 45mm Apple Watch and Watch Ultra. The band is both lightweight and durable to provide comfort and durability throughout the day.

The Nomad Ultra Orange iPhone 14 Pro case will retail for US$ 49.95. Meanwhile, the Ultra Orange Sport Band will retail for US$ 59.95. Both are limited edition and will start shipping in November. Pre-orders will grab an additional percent discount.
