Bandolier hands-free crossbody phone case makes an amazing tech gift for mom

Bandolier CrossbodyPhone Case and Wallet
($95 for this style, Amazon)

If she likes tech accessories of the designer ilk, I have been raving about Bandolier for ages. I called them the perfect accessory “until women get clothes with some damn pockets.” Since Covid, I find mine more practical than ever — no more digging into your bag for all that touchless pay action — just lift the phone up from over your shoulder, and beep! It really is a winning Mother’s Day tech gift. You’ll rarely see me without mine.

 

Cool tech gifts for moms: Pair Eyewear blueblockers have interchangeable magnetic toppers so she can change her look
Pair Eyewear Blue Blocker Glasses
($60 for glasses + $25/ea for toppers)
If she’s totally burnt out from all these months of of Zoom calls and doom-scrolling, save her eyes with a pair of the cool blue-blocking glasses from Pair Eyewear — you pick the base and be sure to select non-Rx Blue Blocker. What’s really fun is that for an extra $25 (glad they reduced that price, phew), you can add different “toppers” to help her change out her look every time you see her. Choose from solids to patterns (cheetah!) to sparkle to themed designs like Marvel, NHL and Harry Potter.
(Pro tip: I recently tried getting Blue Blockers cheaply on Amazon, and three tries later — do not recommend.)

If there’s one thing all moms can use, it’s some peace and quiet — and space to ourselves. We’ve featured 7 of our favorite meditation apps which are all terrific.
My personal favorite remains Calm ( iOS or Android) which has been so helpful in terms of controlling my breathing, managing stress, and even helping me fall asleep more easily in the past year, that here I am, mom to mom, recommending it wholeheartedly for Mother’s Day. But for a more affordable option, check out the Breathwork app which really helps with anxiety, stress and focus.

I fell in love with this gorgeous Beoplay portable speakers in multiple colors a few years back, and now they’re out with this upgrade that does way more than play music, like offering Alexa support. Considering it’s from Bang & Olufsen, it happens to do the music playing amazingly well — but audio books and podcasts will sound just fine too whether she’s in a hotel room, at a desk, or just bringing into the bathroom and locking the door.
