Best Gifts for Mom

She gave you the gift of life; the least you can do is give her a gadget.

Apple iPod Shuffle

Mom will love the cute, small size of this iPod. Not only will it fit well in her stocking, but it also features Voice Over and Genius Mixes. The best part is that Cupertino's pint-size, screenless MP3 player is easier to use than previous versions, so Mom will love it.

HP Photosmart eStation

Introduce Mom to the brave new world of printing. Not only does this all-in-one print, copy, scan, and fax, but it houses a detachable 7-inch Android-powered tablet/touchscreen controller that lets her wirelessly access the web, check e-mail and social networks, read eBooks, listen to music, and play games. Sharing documents via Facebook, Snapfish, and Yahoo is just the icing on the cake.

Lowest Price: $187.13

Moonsus Elixir Laptop Tote

A rich, soft leather exterior cries out to be carried by the best mother in the world. The removeable padded laptop compartment fits notebooks with screens up to 14.1-inches. An adjustable shoulder strap keeps Mom comfy. Choose from Black, Camel, and Oakwood.

Price: $268.00

Samsung Epic 4G

Mom will love this smart phone that's tailor-made for her needs. The Epic 4G has one of the roomiest keyboards we've used on a smart phone and boasts a jaw-dropping 4-inch Super AMOLED display that makes everything--from web pages to the HD video--really pop. For those times when she can't find something good to watch online, there's Samsung Media Hub, which lets users download premium movies and TV shows on the spot (provided they're in 4G or Wi-Fi coverage area). A mobile hotspot app that supports up to five simultaneous connections and a six-axis sensor for serious gaming round out the features on this brainy beauty.

Sony Alpha NEX-5

The Sony Alpha NEX-5 is a pint-size camera with a 14.2-megapixel image sensor as large as what you'd find in a big and bulky DSLR, which means Mom can take excellent pictures without a bulky camera weighing down her purse. That sizable sensor has bigger individual pixels, giving you crisp, clean images even in lousy lighting. The NEX-5 uses interchangeable lenses, letting Mom switch them out depending on the shooting situation; we like the snub-nosed 16mm f/2.8 for capturing dreamy wide-angle images. The camera's Sweep Panorama mode automatically combines several shots into one large image, and its full 1080p HD movie mode captures some pretty sweet high-def clips.

Lowest Price: $598.00
