5 Top Christmas Gift Ideas for Mom

Handmade Personalized Unplug Wooden Box

Life is too busy.  Trying to relax and disconnect from our busy world is not easy.  Moms have almost as much trouble as other members of the family with this.  

Unplugging during dinner time is a natural time for family members to leave their phones behind. 

Perhaps also when kids and teens come over to visit.

We fell in love with this rustic homemade CadesandBirch Unplug wooden box to hold the family (and friends) tech while face-to-face interactions and relationships develop.

At 12″ x 5″ by 5″ tall, the Unplug wooden box can fit a number of phones in it comfortably. 

There is even a 1″ diameter cut out circle on the back so you can run charging cords to the phones while “resting.”

We particularly love the inscription, “Unplug and be present with those around you.” 

It succinctly sums up the importance of relating directly with others rather than through our phones.

But you can customize any message on it like, Family Time” or “Study Time” or “Disconnect to Reconnect.” The choice is yours and there’s no added cost.

CadesandBirch, on Etsy, pride themselves on making creations themselves. 

They offer a number of personalized gifts from pencil holders, to wooden signs, to cutting boards.

As CadesandBirch is very popular, ensure you order your personalized gifts from CadesandBirch at least 2 weeks before Christmas.

This beautifully made handmade personalized Unplug Wooden Box is available from CadesandBirch on Esty for $40+, dependent upon the type of wood (Pine, Walnut, or Mahogany) you select.  Free shipping is included.

A number of stain shades are available and all boxes can be personalized with your own quote. 

Mom will love this stylish way to keep phones out of sight!

SLIM COMBO Case for iPad

If Mom has a 5th, 6th, or 7th generation iPad, consider getting her the Logitech Slim Combo case. 

It offers a sleek business look, drop protection, a built-in kickstand, and a backlit LED keyboard.

Mom can leave her laptop at home and begin using her iPad more frequently, as the keyboard enhances her iPad productivity immensely.

Typing up emails, documents, and social media posts are a snap with the Slim Combo’s Bluetooth keyboard. 

It includes Apple iPad controls too to make it easy to control sound, videos, brightness levels, and more.

This iPad case offers Mom the best of all conveniences.  The keyboard can be separated from the iPad for when table space is cramped. 

She can use the keyboard on her lap – perfect for long airline flights.

The built-in kickstand can prop up her iPad to watch movies on the flight…or at home easily.

If Mom has an iPad Pencil or Logitech Crayon, there’s even a holder for it.

It’s one of our favorite iPad cases on the market.

The Slim Combo for iPad (5th and 6th Generation) is available through Logitech for $119.99 with free shipping.

Nixplay Photo 9.7 inch Frame 

Does Mom have a digital photo frame yet?  Just like our cellphones, they just keep getting better and better.  And the newest Nixplay 2K photo frame proves this.  

The colors of the photos are amazing, crisp, clear, and they pop!

Since our cellphones take pictures in amazing resolution, it only makes sense to have a digital photo frame that can show your pictures off correctly.

Nixplay Photo Frame has some great features. 

Using the app, you can connect the frame to Google Photos, Dropbox, Facebook, Instagram and more to have your pictures display.

Mom can create an album in Google Photos or Dropbox and have others contribute to it.

Pictures can automatically be displayed if she sets it up in her Nixplay app.

You can even email pictures directly to the frame.  Perfect for others to send their pics directly to Mom’s photo frame!

If Mom doesn’t have her app handy, she can use the included magnetic remote (that attaches to the back of the picture frame) to set up pictures, rewind to the last picture, or fast forward.

With its ultra-high pixel density, Mom will be thrilled to relive her memories with this frame.

The Nixplay 2K Smart Photo, 9.7-inch black frame sells for $329.98 with free shipping on Amazon.  Actually, the 2K Smart Photo frame is on sale now until Dec. 8th for $264.

Just Dance 2019 Video Game

We recommend Just Dance nearly every year, why?  Because it’s so much fun.  It has great music, it’s social, and it gives you a great workout. 

Oh, and it’s a game, so you’re always trying to improve your score.

Available now on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia, Just Dance 2020 is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB, so everyone in the family can join along.

Just like in previous years, there’s a Kids Mode with 8 new kid-friendly songs.  Kids love it.

Just Dance is celebrating 10 years of fun social dancing with 40 new tracks, unexpected graphics, some new moves, and special surprises.

This year’s songs include 

• “High Hopes” – Panic! At The Disco
• “Kill This Love” – BLACKPINK
• “Rain Over Me” – Pitbull Ft. Marc Anthony
• “God Is a Woman” – Ariana Grande
•  “I Don’t Care” – Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber
•  “Talk” – Khalid

•  “Into the Unknown” from Frozen 2
•  and lots more!

Just Dance is great family fun – or the perfect antidote for a party or gathering.  Up to 6 people can be tracked using the Just Dance app. 

When there’s a large crowd, scoring isn’t as important as just having fun together.  Mom will love dancing the night away with her peeps!

Just Dance 2020 is available on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia and on sale at Amazon for $29.99 with free shipping over $35 orders.
