10 Tech Christmas Gift Ideas for Moms 2018

It’s Christmas time!  Moms are extremely busy this time of year.  Shopping for family, friends, and work associates.  Putting together the Christmas card mailing list, ordering Christmas cards, writing the Christmas letter, and sending them out before Christmas Day. 

Next, there’s wrapping, buying food for Christmas dinners and entertaining, and making the house homey for family and Christmas-bound visitors.

As moms ourselves at The Well Connected Mom, we love to find gadgets to make Mom’s responsibilities and hobbies easier…or at least more fun.  Here’s our list of 10 great tech Christmas gift ideas for Moms…

Tech Christmas Gift Ideas Moms Will Love

BrightTech Lamps

The BrightTech LightView XL lamp is a great gift for moms of any age.  It is a flexible 2-in-1 lamp that allows you to use it as a table lamp or a floor lamp. 

The LightView XL makes for a great desk lamp, shedding plenty of bright light on the subject.  Open the lid and it can then be used as an oversized magnifying glass for deciphering the small print on papers and contracts, ancestry documents, or even for working with crafts, circuit boards, or simply threading a needle!

Use the BrightTech LightView XL 2-in-1 lamp for pulling out splinters, reading pill bottles, beading and embroidery work, intricate woodwork, and more.

With its 225% magnification, Moms will certainly see things missed with normal vision.  And with the 60 embedded LED lights around it, there will be no dark shadows. 

Its pivoting feature makes it easy to turn it from a desk lamp into a magnifier glass with just one hand.  You can also adjust its knobs to ensure it says in place.

The LightView XL 2-in-1 lamp is sturdy and made of quality materials, so the fact that it includes a 5-year warranty is no surprise, BrightTech is not afraid to back-up their products.

The LightView XL 2-in-1 lamp is available directly through Brightech is currently discounted 10% at $89.99 with free shipping.  

Weego 44 Car Jump Starter

The Weego JumpStart 44 is a favorite product of ours and one we fully reviewed recently.  If Mom needs a car jump, she simply needs to pull the Weego JumpStart 44 out, follow the easy and quick directions, to jumpstart her own car…all within minutes!

No more calling for help and waiting for her car to get jumped, really, there’s hardly any downtime the next time her car needs to be jumped.  Oh, and no more carrying around those long big cables for just in case.

The Weego JumpStart 44 can be used on cars, trucks, diesels, boats, ATV’s, and more with up to 7-liter gas engines and up to 3.5-liter diesel engines, which is most cars.  Their patented “Smarty Clamps” connectors make it easier to clamp in tight spaces and will not cause frightening sparks to fly.

The Weego JumpStart 44 comes in a cute red and white lunchpail to easily store the battery and cables.  

Instructions on how to jump are right on the JumpStart itself, along with a built-in flashlight for nighttime jumps.  In fact, the flashlight can be used for any reason, not just for jumping.  Oh, and the JumpStart can also be used to charge phones and tablets too.

With an 18-month warranty, The Weego 44 is empowering and brings peace of mind.  It is available through Amazon for $99 including free shipping.

Logitech KEYS-TO-GO Keyboard 

Mom is often pretty busy and a huge multi-tasker.  Having a lightweight durable keyboard that can go anywhere with her would be a nice convenience. 

The Logitech KEYS-TO-GO Keyboard  is an ultra-thin, light 9.5 inches long keyboard that is only 1/4 inch thick can easily be tucked into a tote, backpack, or carried in-hand.

Using Bluetooth, it connects to a phone or tablet within seconds.  Mom can send email, respond to texts, or even work on documents with this handy little keyboard. 

Though it’s small, it incorporates a regular keyboard, but the flattened keys won’t aren’t noisy when pressed and even give tactile feedback for more accurate results.

Turn off the keyboard and tuck in a backpack or even a magazine.  The keyboard won’t be harmed nor will the battery be depleted.  And it’s spill and crumb proof and easy to clean.

Mom can use the KEYS-TO-GO Keyboard while sitting in a chair, on a plane, or even taking notes at a conference with ease and finesse.  Once charged, the battery can last up to 3 months (with 2 hours of typing/day).

The KEYS-TO-GO Keyboard comes in a variety of colors to appeal to Mom’s fashion side like blush, stone, smokey blue, and black.

MOFUU Apple Watch Keychain Charger

Mom hates it when herApple watch battery is starting to die but her only Apple Watch charger at home on the dresser. 

Or when she travels and forgot to bring her Apple Watch charger along.

The MOFUU Portable Wireless Keychain Pocket Travel Charger gives Moms options. 

This inexpensive device is a portable, compact Apple Watch charger that can be clipped onto backpacks, purses, or anything with its convenient carabiner clip.  

The MOFUU Portable Wireless Keychain Pocket Travel Charger works with all Apple Watch series, Editions, and sizes and is MFI certified. 

It comes with its own cable, which folds into the housing.  But, it still needs a power source, so just plug it into a power bank, wall adapter, or computer USB-A port.

The MOFUU Portable Wireless Keychain Pocket Travel Charger is currently on sale on the MOFUU website for $29.99 plus shipping.

Google Home + Mini

You can never give Mom enough help.  With the family’s schedule, kids’ carpooling needs, her work, etc…a personal assistant is just what she needs to keep everything straight! 

There are two Google Home assistants available, the regular size Google Home, pictured above and the Google Mini.  

What’s the difference?  The Google Home allows for touch control of volume and shows visual feedback.  It also acts as a nice sounding speaker with bass for music. 

The Google Mini is not touch-controlled and does not have the bass and great sound that the Google Home exudes.

But other than that, they offer the same services.  Moms can ask…

• What’s today’s weather? – to alert the family how to dress
• What’s the 5-day forecast? – so rain or snow doesn’t surprise her
• What her schedule is for the day
• Play her favorite music from Spotify or Google Music
• Play fun Google Home games with the family
• Ask for replacements for cardamom while cooking
• Set a timer for 20 minutes
• Ask for items to be added to her shopping list
• Set an alarm for the morning every day
• Ask to be reminded about a task that needs to get done
• Play a favorite Netflix movie or YouTube video on her TV (if it has Google Chromecast plugged in)
• Show photos from last year’s Christmas on her TV (if it has Google Chromecast plugged in)
• Control lights, thermostats, and more (if connected with partner products)
• Ask how to say “have a nice day” in French to impress her french-studying daughter!

And so much more.  Google Home is the gift that keeps giving because Mom’s not the only one who can use it.  The whole family can use it to ask for info. from the Internet or play their music too.  Each family member can set up a profile.

Google Home sells for $129 and Google Home Mini sells for $29.99 (a $20 savings right now) at BestBuy.com.

LOFT Portable Battery Base – Google Home

The LOFT Portable Battery Base is an accessory for Google Home that makes it portable – allowing you to take Google Home anywhere in your home or outside, as long as it can still receive WiFi coverage.  The battery base contains a powerful lithium-ion rechargeable battery that provides up to 8 hours of wireless use.

With its premium metal sleeve, this great magnetic Google Home attachment indicates its remaining battery power with four LED lights on the front that decrease with diminishing power.

Mom can take her music from room to room without disruption.  Or move Google Home into the kitchen when cooking but back into the family room to connect it to its power source.  She can put it in her kid’s bedroom to wake him/her up in the morning, bring it outside to enjoy music by the pool (she might need to use her phone’s hotspot if WiFi doesn’t reach), etc.

The LOFT Portable Battery Base enhances the sound of Google Home, making it a great Bluetooth speaker to use anywhere around the house, with the enhanced ability to assist Mom with her questions as needed.

Adding only 14 oz. to Google Home, the LOFT Portable Battery Base is a great way to use Google Home in more rooms, rather than needing to buy more Google Homes!

Available in Carbon, Snow, or Copper, the LOFT Portable Battery Base is on sale for $29.95 (usually $49.95) on the NINETY7 website.

Siena TrioShine 3-in-1 Jewelry Cleaner

We reviewed the Sienna TrioShine 3in-1 Jewelry Cleaner a couple of months back.  It’s like having a professional jewelry cleaner in the home. 

Mom will no more leave her ring with a “professional” jeweler, worried that she might not end up with the same diamond she gave them to clean.

The Sienna TrioShine 3-in-1 Cleaner incorporates 3 ways to clean jewelry. 

The ultrasonic bath uses sonic vibrations at 46,000 vibrations a second to jar loose lotions, oils, sprays, and more from Mom’s jewelry.  It’s very gentle and quite effective.  You can actually see puffs of “smoke” surrounding a ring placed in the bath.

For an added shine, place plain water in its reservoir to blast out 55 PSI professional grade of sanitizing steam to blow out any remaining residue.  It’s pretty remarkable.

Lastly, to sanitize away any harmful bacteria, the Sienna TrioShine 3-in-1 Cleaner includes a mini “closet” where items can be placed in it to receive ultraviolet light sanitation.  Perfect for rings, earrings, eyeglasses, mouth guards, toothbrushes, retainers, even bottle nipples, pacifiers, and small toys.

Mom can definitely get the same type of clean (if not better) than you can expect at your local jewelry store…and for much less money over time. 

The Sienna TrioShine 3 In 1 Jewelry Cleaner and Sanitizer is available through Costco for $119.99 including shipping and handling. 

If you’re not a Costco member (memberships are $60/year), you can purchase it directly through Sienna for $199.99.
