Did we mention that we have the coolest readers? Eric (aka EricSketch on Twitter) has been reading our site for quite some time now, so when we spotted this Baby Yoda Bluetooth speaker in his Twitter feed we were like "HOLY MANDALORIAN!"…

We've been longtime fans of the Tile Bluetooth trackers since we first discovered them years ago. They're pretty much a staple tech gadget in our home, allowing us to keep track of our keys, our phone, and pretty much every important thi…

One look at the Italian Cromatica Bluetooth speakers and...whoa. Think of this lamp-speaker hybrid like a mood ring for your home. You choose the color illumination that suits you, choose your music, then lie back and chill. Or, clean yo…

While I was getting my new shiny iPhone 8 + this weekend, I spotted these adorable My Audio Pet Bluetooth speakers at the T-Mobile store, under a big "One of Oprah's Favorite Things!" Now, I love me some Oprah, but I tend to be pretty sk…

I'm packing up my family of six up for our exciting vacation to Hawaii (squee!), and like most parents, I'm making my tech list and checking it twice. Do we really need to bring a laptop (the answer here is NO!)? Inspired by Brian Chen's…

The mixtape will just not go away, and that's just fine by me. In this case, the beloved cassette of the days of yore now comes in form of a new MP3 player called the Mixxtape , courtesy of wildly popular Kickstarter campaign that blew a…

It's amazing how far home tech design has come, even since we started this site six years ago. What once may have looked sleek and amazing -- a baby monitor, a humidifier, even a lawnmower -- now looks clunky and dated compared to what's…

We love our portable Bluetooth speakers around here, especially as the warm weather creeps in and we aim to take our favorite music (and ahem , favorite podcasts ) outside. That's why we're smitten with the brand new Beoplay P2 Speaker -…

We had such a wave of nostalgia after seeing this super cool Lofree keyboard on Design Milk that we just had to share it with you. You fellow Gen X-ers who used typewriters and word processors to write high school and college papers migh…

As we get closer to Christmas and Hanukkah (eep!) we thought we'd close out our 2016 Holiday Tech Gift Guide should help you out since it's all about last minute holiday tech deals and discounts. Yep, those of you procrastinators and bus…

We love finding swanky, stylish tech gifts for the men in our lives, and this year we're swooning over this cashmere Bluetooth beanie we spotted at Neiman Marcus. Concealed, wireless headphones are built in to the hat, designed to fit ov…

When we first heard about Bluetooth-enabled water bottles back in 2015, we were a little skeptical here at Cool Mom Tech. I mean, how hard is it to just drink a glass of water, right? But when HidrateSpark sent me one of their smart wate…

Edit : Bluesmart no longer exists, and we can no longer recommend smart luggage, due to a new FAA rule that cases with built-in batteries must have a removable battery. If you're looking for a great gift for a frequent flyer and tech dev…

We have certainly covered lots of DIY STEM toys for kids and even more Bluetooth speakers here on Cool Mom Tech, but the BOSEbuild Speaker Cube is the first product I've seen that so awesomely combines these two elements. Hello, holiday …

Last year, after spending way too long researching the category, I bought a pair of NuForce BE6 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds by Optoma, and soon after, declared them best wireless Bluetooth earbuds thanks to their sleek look, lightweight c…

Honestly, I'm not a hard-core audiophile who geeks out over the minute details about speaker drivers and subwoofers, but I am still picky with my speakers as I'm sure a lot of you are. I can hear the difference between a good speaker and…

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that whenever my family heads out on a trip, we worry about the safety of our homes when we're gone. So I was intrigued by the BeON smart lightbulbs , which use clever lighting responses to prevent burgl…

So, I know the goal of camping is to connect with nature and go off the grid, but sometimes you just need cell service, whether it's to access Google Maps, use a cool app like SkyView or binge watch when the kids are finally asleep. It c…

With the warm weather here, I'm spending much more time outside with my family, whether it's just eating dinner outside or having a few friends over for an impromptu gathering. And to spruce my little outdoor space up a bit, I think I mi…

With Father's Day right around the corner, we've started thinking about some cool Father's Day tech gift options -- in addition to the kids' plaster handprints and construction paper ties, of course. The timing of this holiday is perfect…

The best part of hosting parties in the spring and summer is that everyone can be outside, so you don't have to do a full clean-up of your house the next day. But if you tend to rely on a big indoor sound system, you may not just be able…

Now that Valentine's Day is just a few days away, we look at it as one more thoughtful opportunity to give a coveted gadget to that special someone. I love any excuse to give (or ahem, get) a tech gift. And it definitely has more longevi…
