10 Smart Home Gifts for Mom

The Amazon Echo Dot is a smart speaker with the Alexa voice service and 360-degree speaker outputs. With the Echo, Mom can give voice commands from across the room to ask Alexa questions, start a music playlist, and control other smart home products with ease.

Alexa is an excellent digital assistant for mothers with full hands and hectic schedules. Now, Ma can catch up on her favorite audiobooks and check the weather before heading to the park or getting to work in her home office.

Mom doesn’t need an expensive Peloton machine to get her heart pumping when she can take her jump roping to the next level with the SmartRope Rookie.

The SmartRope mobile app tracks exercise time, jumps, and calories burned for an effective cardio workout. It can also coach Ma to reach new heights with interval training programs. Competitive moms might like the leaderboard for showing off their skills. There’s also a rewards system to help Ma set and meet goals.

Whether your mom’s a jump rope addict or looking for a quick cardio workout in the morning, the SmartRope Rookie can show her you care about her heart.

The Anova Precision Cooker Nano is the perfect tool to introduce Mom to sous vide cooking—a slow cooking staple of high-end restaurants—that heats food to the ideal temperature while infusing seasonings throughout the dish.

Sous vide is especially fantastic for cooking meat and fish to perfection because it’s practically impossible to overcook food with this method. It results in the tenderest of steaks—from rare to well done.

Mom can control the Anova Precision Cooker Nano from her smartphone to set timers, get recipes, and dive into delicious food. Sous vide cooking is a surefire way to level up Mom’s kitchen technique.

Mom might never part with her beloved coffee maker or her ancient electric kettle, but you can coax her into using a brand-new self-warming mug. The NextMug Temperature-Controlled Self-Heating Mug stays warm all day. Whether she sips at her desk or keeps it on the coffee table, NextMug adjusts to her preferred temperature and keeps it there with its long battery life. 

For coffee drinkers, tea drinkers, and even hot cocoa sippers, this is a real game changer! It might not be as cool as the mug you painted for her as a kid, but it's a close second. 

Keeping up with the vegetable garden or flower beds doesn’t require an intricate underground sprinkler system when a hose and sprinkler can get the job done. Help Mom save water and time with the B-hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer.

This smart gardening device uses batteries, so it’s easy to install on any faucet before attaching the hose. Mom starts by setting schedules with her smartphone, and the B-hyve does the rest—right down to accounting for current weather conditions.

Even for moms who love a good pampering, spa days aren't always on the calendar. Between carpooling, office errands, and playtime at home, Mom can have a mini-spa day with the MoCuishle Shiatsu Back and Shoulder Massager.

With 8 deep tissue modes, heating, and adjustable speed, she can bring the spa with her anywhere she goes. 

Mom can find her keys or wallet with the press of a button using the Tile Pro. It’s a remarkably simple device—when Ma presses a button in the mobile app, the corresponding Tile Pro chimes for easy recovery.

She can attach a small, chic Tile Pro to any item, be it a pocketbook, keychain, or purse, for easy finding later. And if Mom wants to keep track of her phone, Tile Pro also works in reverse order—tapping the device causes the linked phone to ring.

Whether she lives alone or is the head of the family, Mom needs to know what's going on at home. The eufy Security C210 Smart Lock can keep her briefed on whether or not the door is locked or unlocked at any time. This five-in-one smart lock combines physical keys, a touchpad, app access, Apple Watch access, or smart speaker commands to lock and unlock the deadbolt. 

It works well with her busy schedule and she can program the lock to open and close automatically when she leaves the house for work, errands, or play. 

If Mom loves to shop online (honestly, same), there’s a good chance she’ll want a Ring Video Doorbell to spot deliveries on the porch. Not only that, but it’s also an excellent way to chat with Grubhub drivers as she makes her way to the door.

Beyond shopping, a smart doorbell can boost security by watching for suspicious activity in the front yard day and night. Mom can even pair the Ring Video Doorbell with a smart lock to let the kids in after school.

If your mom’s a dancing queen in disguise, the Amazon Echo Studio can bring it out with more power and better sound quality than the original Echo smart speaker. Make no mistake, the Echo Studio is just as easy to use with its built-in Alexa voice assistant, but it’s a party in a box.

When the music’s over, Mom can use the Echo Studio as a smart home hub that’s compatible with Zigbee devices like Philips Hue. Or she can pair it with a Fire TV device to bring more life—and Dolby Atmos surround sound—to her favorite movies.
