5 sweet Mother's Day gifts for a geeky mom

Less than 3 heart necklaceJust because you have a geeky mom in your life doesn't mean she doesn't want something sweet and sentimental too. After all, as techy as we get, I'd imagine most of us are hoping for something a little more personal than "Happy Mother's Day, here's a circuit breaker."

Here, just a few favorite picks that would make sweet sentimental Mother's Day gifts, even for the techies among us.

 

The Less Than 3 necklace was one we found for Valentine's Day but we think any mom would love it around her neck. Especially if she know not to read it as "less than 3."


Gift for a geek mom: iPhone docks from vintage books
Rich Neeley's iPhone docks made from vintage novels are equally practical and sentimental. Jane Austin's Sense and Sensibility is a guaranteed pleaser, but that vintage Alice in Wonderland with the hot pink cover is amazing.

Gifts for a geek mom: Handmade iPad sleeve with heart closure

A handmade iPad sleeve with a wooden heart button will make her think of you every time she pulls it out. Not to mention those 8 million photos of you on the desktop wallpaper.

Gifts for a geek mom: USB Locket
A locket is a classic Mother's Day gift, but when it's one of Emily Rothchild's USB locket we're bringing it into the 21st century. Besides, what other locket can hold literally hundreds of baby pictures?

Gifts for a geek mom: custom photo iPhone case
The custom iPhone cases from Case-Mate are still one of our all-time favorite mom gifts. This way, she can carry the family with her wherever she goes. And not just in her heart. -Liz

My mom’s birthday was last week, so I got her a Sling Adapter from Dish where I work. She loves it because she can watch live TV and her DVR recordings on her smartphone while she’s away from the house. I think she would love this handmade iPad sleeve on the new iPad I’m going to get her this Mother’s Day. She’ll be thrilled that she’ll now have a larger screen to watch TV on while she’s on the go, and in style, thank you!
