Mother’s Day is just around the corner—May 12th! And while flower shops will be flooded (the holiday accounts for a whopping 26% of annual holiday flower sales), and phones will light up with over 122 million calls, there are plenty of other creative ways to say “I love you, Mom” in 2025. With Mother’s Day spending expected to hit a record $34.1 billion this year, now’s the perfect time to skip the clichés and surprise her with a smart, thoughtful gadget she’ll actually use—and love. Here’s what we are looking at:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE
Looking for a hot new tablet that doesn’t break the bank? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE is a great option. FE stands for “fan edition” and it’s easy to see why: this vibrant 10.9" display makes it easier than ever to stream your favorite show, have a video call with long-distance family or friends, play games, or read even in the park thanks to built-in light reduction and enhanced “Vision Booster” to make it easy to see when you’re outside. It also comes loaded with tools to simplify everyday tasks like Circle to Search, Handwriting Assist, Math Solver, and object eraser. It’s water and dust resistant (can you say durable?!) and ready for whatever mom needs it to do.

Kodak Step Slim
Kodak Step Slim Instant Photo Printer is an all-time mom fave. It’s small, but mighty, printing up to 25 photos on a single charge. AND, it gets back to full battery in about an hour and a half. Pick one up for the mom who loves printing precious photos off her phone! Mom can connect via Bluetooth to its free app and personalize pics with fun filters, frames, and text. She can also print sticky-backed photos in less than a minute. No mess, no ink, no cables, just memories that stick.
Price: $79.99
Bird Buddy
Bird Buddy’s AI-powered Smart Bird Feeder Pro is a brilliant pick for Mother’s Day. Why? It transforms ordinary backyard birdwatching into an interactive, tech-savvy experience that’s both relaxing and educational. Billed as a “world first,” this smart feeder includes a newly upgraded high-definition camera that captures slow-motion videos and 2K livestreams, while the connected app uses AI to identify birds in real time—so Mom can always know exactly which feathered friends are stopping by.
With a solar roof and extended battery life, it runs for weeks without needing a charge. And for hummingbird lovers, the Smart Hummingbird Feeder Pro is equally impressive: it attracts, identifies, and captures sharp, vibrant images of some of North America’s most dazzling aerial performers. It’s a gift that’s perfect for any mom who appreciates nature, photography, or just a little moment of magic in her day. Up to 40% off for Mother’s Day!

AstroAI L7 and AstroAI S8 Jump Starter
For the mom who always saves the day (and everyone else’s too), go all in with AstroAI’s L7 Tire Inflator and S8 Jump Starter—the ultimate one-two “preparedness punch” that packs serious peace of mind. The L7 is a compact, on-the-go emergency tire pump that supports up to eight full car tire refills, weighs just about a pound, and fits neatly into a cup holder—but don’t let the size fool you. This thing works fast—inflating the average bike tire in just 90 seconds—and gives you on-screen, ultra-accurate pressure readings, so you don’t risk a blowout or overfill. Even better? It’s just $20 on Amazon right now. Pair it with the AstroAI S8 Jump Starter, and you’ve got her covered on all fronts. This compact powerhouse delivers enough juice to revive even completely dead car batteries, and it’s built with speed, safety, and smarts—featuring reverse-polarity protection, quick-charging ports, and a built-in emergency flashlight. Best of all, it’s also on sale for under $40. Two tools, one tiny footprint, zero stress—and a gift she’ll never forget (especially if she ever needs it).

Aura Aspen Frame
We LOVE all of Aura’s digital photo frames, but the just-launched Aspen is next-level gorgeous. It’s their sleekest design yet, featuring a 12-inch HD anti-glare screen that’s totally worthy of a prime spot on any wall. With the free Aura app, anyone—kids, grandparents, besties—can instantly send photos and videos straight to the frame from anywhere in the world. No storage limits. No subscriptions. No stress. The frame automatically adjusts to ambient lighting, rotates photos, and features a touch bar for easy swiping. You can even add notes or search for specific people in your photo library. It’s the perfect blend of smart and chic.

Hi, I found an incorrect brand name. Should it be 'AstroAI' instead of 'AstroAT'?
