Mother's Day!


It's almost Mother's day and I'm seeing some heavy movement over on eBay in some of the following categories.  It's pretty exciting and should give you some good ideas as to what to get mom on May 11th .

Quickcam

First if for the awesome geeky mom who's into gadgets!  Logitech’s Quickcam Pro 9000 is what I'm getting my mama. This is great for moms with kids away from college, or grandparents out of state , like mine!  A webcam is a perfect way to stay connected and look into the eyes of the little ones and really watch them grow.  I'm loving this device because it uses CarlZeiss optics so the picture is real nice and sharp and it also has a pretty neat auto focus system.


Presto

Next, here’s an idea for those Mom’s that really AREN’T tech savvy.  Mom’s that want to stay in touch with family, but don't have a computer or Internet connection should check out the  HP Printing mailbox with the Presto Service.  What it does is call out to Presto, and will deliver emails and photos to the box then print them out in easy to read sheets.  This really is perfect for any Mom, Grandma or any of those family members who aren't easily connected. And it’s really a gift that keeps giving all year!


Phone

Next is the Blackberry Pearl 8120 from T-Mobile, which is great for moms on the go.  You can do everything with this stylish phone - e-mail, take pictures, type messages, IM, shoot vidz and more.  New this year is for $10 a month, you can pair it with the T-Mobile Hotspot @ Home service, and make unlimited calls over Wi-Fi– so no more wasting cell phone minutes whenever you're in a wifi zone.


Nikon

Now  here’s a great one for Mom, that’s affordable too.  This is the Nikon COOLPIX S210 – its super thin, and measures less than an inch thick. It comes in many different great looking colors like plum and cool blue.  Some great features though, it has 8 mega pixel resolution and vibration reduction technology to produce clearer images.  Really a great buy if mom is needed an upgrade.



Sony

Finally, a great accessory for mom is Sony’s new digital Photo Frame. I have the v900 and I'm very happy with it. It has some really great features like the super high contrast color screen and internal memory so you can load the frame up then put your card back into your cam.  I'm also really into the different slide show modes it has like thecalender and clock mode making it into more than just a photo viewer. It also comes in 3 different sizes, so there’s one for every type of budget. And if you want to add a personal touch, you can even get it custom engraved.
