Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
It’s true: All your mom really wants on Mother’s Day is to spend some special time with you. A fresh bouquet and a handmade card are sweet icing on the cake. But, if you’re looking to go the extra mile, like your mom likely did for you more times than you know, throwing in a slick tech gift designed to make her life a little easier — or a little more fun or sparkly — doesn’t hurt either.
To help you find the perfect present, here’s our hand picked, mother-of-three approved list of excellent gadget gifts for all kinds of mamas, especially busy ones. (That would be all of them.) They’re sure to have your mom feeling the love on her special day and beyond. Better hurry, though. Mother’s Day is this Sunday and you don’t want to be late.

The 30-count color ink ribbon cartridge and photo paper packs are sold separately and cost around $13.
