Not long ago many moms and grandmoms were intimidated by tech. Not so much anymore. In fact, these tech gadgets may be something they use every day of the year.

One of my favorite gadgets for anyone this year is the Ember coffee mug. It keeps coffee or tea at a perfect sipping temperature no matter where you take it. When it senses hot liquid, it maintains a temperature perfect for sipping. I timed it at one-and-a-half hours. It connects to an app where you set a precise temperature to maintain, but the app is not required to use it.

Digital picture frames are so much better than they were a few years ago. The Nixplay frame displays photos without using much electricity. What I like about it, is you can send photos wirelessly from your phone to the frame even when you’re not there with her.

Readers love the convenience of a Kindle Paperwhite. The paper-ink screen makes it easy to read in full sunlight and she won’t need a lamp or book light to read in the dark. Plus, you can send her books to be delivered wirelessly anytime you’d like from your own Amazon account.

She can also read library books on a Kindle using the Libby app for free.

And finally, if you really want to splurge, you can buy the Apple Watch Series 9. The latest Apple Watch tracks heart rate, blood-oxygen levels, and AFib. It has all the other modern-day conveniences such as taking phone calls, texts, and social media notifications and paying for things with an Apple Card.

The Series 9 also has the ability to answer calls just by tapping your fingers together.

Most of these items were on sale for Cyber Monday and Black Friday but they’ll frequently be on sale through the holidays.
