You know how we like the pretty things, mama. We can’t help it, we’re suckers for great design, especially when combined with smart tech. So we’re excited to share some of our favorite stylish tech gift finds this year for that cool plugged-in woman on your list.
We’re extra happy to share this guide on behalf of our sponsor, Tile Bluetooth tracker. If you’ve ever lost your keys, your handbag, or panicked about your luggage on the airport conveyor belt when it’s not the first one out, well you need to meet Tile. We’re fans and bet you will be one too.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a Cool Mom Tech guide without a fab giveaway. This year’s fantastic prize includes a brand new iPad Air 2 and a gorgeous designer case. We have a feeling you’ll love them both, whether you keep them for yourself or give an extra generous gift to someone special this year.

Bandolier iPhone crossbody case
Our favorite iPhone case for going hands-free, whether you’re chaperoning your kids’ holiday party, or enjoying your own night on the town — hands-free, and kid-free. ($60 and up, Bandolier; Python case $125)
Rebecca Minkoff Charging Wristlet

Attach the Tile Bluetooth tracker to your keys, your tablet, your luggage, the headphones you never want your kids touching ever… you name it. You can ring the item right from your phone using Bluetooth. Check the Tile app map to determine the last place it’s been. Or if it’s your phone that tends to go missing, attach a Tile and you can make the phone ring — even if it’s on silent– so you can track it down from another device or on the Tile website.
Order on their website TheTileApp.com, and get a free Tile gift pouch with every 8 or 12-pack purchase, making it a perfect gift. You can also find it in all US Apple, Best Buy Lowe’s, Target, and T-Mobile retail locations as well as on Amazon.
Let’s just say if you’re buying any of the gifts here, you definitely don’t want to lose them. That’s Tile for you.
