Attach a Tile to something you want to keep track of, then use your phone to find it, ring it and see on a map where you left it. If your item isn’t where you left it, you can mark it on the Tile app as missing and it will be located if someone with a Tile comes near it.
You can also double-press a Tile to make your phone ring.

Hi Carolyn,
Happy Monday 🙂
Trust you to come up with the apt Mother’s Day tech gifts each year and surprise all of us with the perfect choices! What a selection indeed!
I wish my mom was around, and I wonder how tech savvy would she be, and whether she would be using such gadgets at all, as in her time the mobiles hadn’t even started! However, I think from all of these, she would love Tile, so would my dad, who has now started forgetting where he kept things! So perfect! Loved your list!
Thanks for sharing, and wishing you a very Happy Mother’s Day, well in advance. See you in June, as I am taking it off for a few weeks – my little summer break 🙂
Hi Harleena, Yes, Tile can be very handy to help use keep track of our things. It’s so easy to misplace important items and Tile can save us time and frustration searching for lost things.
How interesting that you wonder whether your mom would have liked tech. I’ve never wondered that about my mother until you brought it up here. I do believe my mother would have been into tech. She would have appreciate the convenience that tech offers, I believe.
Even for those of us who don’t have our mothers around for Mother’s Day, we can see what we’d like for ourselves! The Tranquility Pod looks amazing. I’ll be waiting for their 99% off sale and then get one! 😉
Hello Carolyn,
It is always a challenge when it comes to selecting a gift for my mom. She is not very “techie” but I think the kate spade bag will help her for sure, she has to charge her phone no matter what 🙂
Thanks for putting up this list of wonderful gifts.
Happy mothers day to you and to all your readers.
Hi Praveen, Yes, even moms who aren’t into tech can appreciate these tech gifts. The Kate Spade looks beautiful and functional, I’m thinking your mom will enjoy it a lot.
Hi Carolyn
Awesome collection. Mother’s love is truly matchless in this world and we should treat her in the same way how she is taking care of us. I like your gift ideas and I prefer flying car and charging bag among them. They are really excellent.
Have a nice day!
Cheers !
Hi Manoj, Good point. Moms do such a good job of caring for others, shouldn’t we take good care of them? What better way to do that than with a tech gift.
I’m glad you enjoyed this article, Manoj. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, Manoj.
Carolyn, you have hit the bull’s eye with this. Great suggestion for techie mom gifts. It can seem like too much of mental effort to come up with a great gift and you’ve made it a lot easier. Tranquility pod and Kate spade charging bag are my personal favorites this time. Thanks a ton for sharing this and happy mother’s day in advance.
Hi Venu, Thank you very much! Yes, this list of gifts make it easy to get inspired for Mother’s Day. You also might find some gifts for yourself. You deserve a gift and why not treat yourself to something special?
