Mother’s Day is Sunday so if you haven’t already started, get shopping to show the special woman in your life exactly how special she is. Here are 10 of my favorites that any mom is sure to love regardless of how tech savvy she may be.

| iRobot Scooba |
Give mom a break from cleaning with the iRobot Scooba ($449). This amazing little robot uses a 4 part system to prep, wash, scrub, and squeegee. It motors around, sucking up crumbs and pet hair while washing the floor as it goes. Scooba makes multiple passes over the same section of floor to ensure it cleans thoroughly. It leaves a wet shine behind but not too much water to make floors slippery and dangerous. Smart sensors help it avoid the stairs and other obstacles such as furniture during the 45 minute cleaning cycle. Just touch the button and leave Scooba to motor around the house on your way out the door for fresh and crumb free floors when you return home.

| Chica Bag by Cuddly Monkey |
Gift her with a stylish all purpose bag to hold her laptop and more. Cuddly Monkey may sound like a stuffed animal but it’s really a line of canvas totes created by designers who believe that the inside of the tote should be as fashionable as the outside is functional. You can’t go wrong with The Chica ($90), a classic beach tote with a fun lining that features essential tech gadgets like a smartphone, iPod, and headphones along with sunglasses. Chica is my go-to bag for travel these days. It’s a good sized carry on that fits my laptop, iPad, digital camera, snacks, and leaves plenty of room for more all while fitting under the seat in front of me. I also have my eye on the The Babe ($90) which I love for it’s contrasting handles and cheery watermelon lining.

Bling out her headphones with a set of Hello Kitty Earbuds ($12.50). These comfortable earbuds are sparkly, fun, and feature volume control right on the cord to work with her MP3 player, iPod, iPhone, and computer and will be easy to find even in the deepest depths of any bag.

| Honeywell Air Genius 5 Tower |

| Olympus LS-20M compact digital recorder |
Put the power of video editing in the palm of her hand with an Olympus LS-20M ($299) that is compact enough to carry in any bag to capture all of life’s amazing moments. Edit on the spot using for different filters for fun effects, stream a soccer game to a far away grandparent or a dance recital via UStream anywhere you have an internet connection, and enjoy high definition video in an amazingly small package. Controls are easy to maneuver when keeping your eye on the action but in case your hand wavers, the built in electronic image stabilizer helps eliminate the shakes. The action gets even closer with 4x digital zoom while the autofocus lens keeps everything crystal clear on dual LCD screens.

I think out of all of them a scooba would be the neatest (please combine with the roomba) so I can sit and tweet/comment more and let those little things do the floors 🙂 Very neat list though!
