WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) -There’s still time to find the perfect gift for Mother’s Day. Whether that’s for your mom, your wife, or your grandmother, tech gadgets may not be the first thing you (or she) think would be a good Mother’s Day gift.
That would be incorrect.
Sure, moms don’t always want to play online video games, use robots, or dive into anything she isn’t comfortable with, but tech gadgets that are helpful and make sense are probably right up her alley. Moms are pretty smart you know.
Moms are often the creative forces behind DIY projects—whether it’s remaking furniture, decorating rooms, or adding a fresh coat of paint. But what if you could take the guesswork out of color matching and grow your own herbs with minimal effort? Here are some innovative gadgets that moms (and anyone else) will appreciate:
Nix Color Sensor: The Perfect Match
Have you ever wondered, “What color is that?” The Nix Color Sensor is a pocket-sized, battery-powered device designed to answer that question. Forget about inaccurate phone photos affected by lighting conditions. The Nix has its own camera. Simply place the sensor close to the color you want to match, and it captures the precise shade, regardless of lighting. The smartphone app then displays color options. While it may not always account for finishes or brands, it’s as close as you’ll get without the original paint lid. Digital creators can also use it to match colors found in logos and on websites.
Aerogarden: Green Thumbs Not Required
Growing herbs at home doesn’t have to be complicated. Enter the Aerogarden. Purchase a seed kit of herbs, vegetables, or flowers online. The pods come with seeds and soil. The Aerogarden provides the right amount of light, and the plants are automatically fed and watered from the built-in tank. Within days, herbs like basil, Italian parsley, and oregano sprout, are ready for harvesting. No green thumbs are required!
Charging Cubes: Power Up Your Workspace
For moms who work from home (or anyone with multiple devices), power is essential. Consider gifting charging cubes. These compact cubes feature three AC plugs (two standard and one USB-C port). They’re perfect for your workspace and ideal for travel. Keep your devices charged without cluttering your desk.
Anker Mag Go: Wireless Charging Made Easy
Tired of fumbling with charging cables? The Anker Mag Go offers a sleek solution. Attach your phone to the magnetic plate, and it charges wirelessly. Plus, there are additional USB ports on the back for other devices. Whether on your desktop or bedside nightstand, this charger is convenient and efficient. iPhone users can even turn their phones sideways for a traditional-looking alarm clock using night mode.
Where to Find These Gems
You can find these gadgets online, wherever you shop. Whether you’re celebrating moms, dads, or grads, these thoughtful gifts are sure to make an impact. So go ahead—add a splash of color, grow some herbs, and stay charged!
