Mother's Day tech gifts — 11 deals I recommend that still arrive on time

For any mom with an iPhone, this is an excellent gift. The Apple AirPods 4 have fantastic sound quality, decent battery life of about five hours on a single charge (or 30 with the case), and a few special features that used to be reserved for the Pro line, like Personalized Spatial Audio and Conversation Awareness.

This is the cheapest you can get the popular Bose QuietComfort headphones right now. So if you think the person you’re buying for would like this light Moonlight Gray shade, head to checkout quickly. Otherwise, you can shop other Bose QuietComfort colors on sale for $229.

These long-named Sony headphones boast incredible noise-cancelling tech, amazing quality for both music and calls, and pretty great battery life. On a single charge, the WH-1000XM5 can last for about 30 hours with ANC turned on and up to 40 hours with it switched off, making these a reliable pair of headphones to bring while vacationing, running errands, or commuting.

For streaming movies, listening to music, and reading books, Lenovo’s Tab One is an ideal little Android tablet. It’s equipped with an 8.7-inch (1340 x 800) LCD display and rated for battery life up to 16.5 hours — plenty for an all-day binge of the latest “Bridgerton” season.

This budget-friendly Galaxy Tab comes with Android 16, a sharp 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls, and an impressive 11-inch (1920 x 1200) display that’s ideal for streaming. With its MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor and 6GB of RAM, you can easily use this Android tablet to answer emails, research topics, manage finances, and more.

There’s nothing incredibly inventive about the iPad 11 — it’s Apple’s most basic iPad, with no Apple Intelligence features. But if the mom in your life just needs a tablet to read books, stream media, make video calls, manage emails, and other simple daily tasks and activities, you can’t go wrong with gifting an iPad 11.

For simple and affordable sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, and step counting, Fitbit’s Inspire 3 is perhaps the best fitness tracker you can pick up. Right now, it’s only $10 shy of its lowest price ever and includes six months of Fitbit Premium, which gives you extra data and personalized insights.

The Galaxy Watch 7 is best gifted to those who have a Galaxy smartphone to pair it with because they’ll have access to the ECG and blood pressure reading features. Other Android phones still work well with this smartwatch for steps, most health features, and notifications; they just won’t have the full experience.

It hasn’t even been a full year since the Apple Watch 11 debuted, and it’s slashed by 25% to its lowest price ever — for iPhone users, this deal is a major win. This is the longest-lasting Apple Watch, with a long-awaited 24-hour battery life, and it finally offers a daily sleep score in addition to all of its previous health-tracking features.

This small smart display is the perfect size for a nightstand, a desk, or a small table beside the living room couch. It can play your favorite songs, answer questions via Alexa, make video calls, and more. Basically, anything a tablet can do, the Echo Show 5 can do, but the Echo sounds better and comes with its own built-in stand.

This 15-inch Skylight Calendar is pricey, but for combatting overwhelm with routine tasks, it’s one of the best tech gifts. It can automatically sync with multiple digital calendars, helping everyone in the household keep track of each other’s schedules. And with an optional Plus Plan subscription, you can unlock a photo screensaver feature to see your favorite pictures rotate regularly.
