$159.99

Many are the mothers we know who go in for casual gaming as well as cooking. For them, Nintendo is launching a Mother's Day Bundle on May 3 that features a lime-green DS Lite, a coordinating green-and-white case, and a copy of “Personal Trainer: Cooking.” This is a game that responds to voice commands via the DSi’s microphone, and includes instructions for about 250 recipes. The game and case add only $20 over the price of a standard Nintendo DS Lite. We suggest you buy it for mom, but then take it into the kitchen and cook her dinner.

From the slotradio.org website:

"Much like radio, these songs are played in sequence and cannot be rewound or rearranged, yet in slotRadio™, individual songs can be skipped as often as you want."

So you buy mom 1000 songs, she hears one she likes, and has to skip the other 999 to hear it again? What is sandisk thinking? Why not just get mom a real mp3 player, or perhaps a FM radio?

There had to be a catch: After all, how else would a record company allow 1000 songs to be sold for $40? That's why I wrote that it reminded me a lot of the Internet Radio model (Pandora, etc.).

My girlfriend is planning on getting her mother a netbook, probably the MSI Wind. It's sort of a cheaper alternative to the Aspire Timeline.

I'm sure netbooks are going to be extremely popular this year for Mothers Day. I'm not aware of any models that have come out in the last month, which is why I didn't include any (almost everything in this gift guide is very new).

Pretty sure my kitty would pee in that grass charging station. :(
