Please, do your mom a favor and resist the temptation of getting her a Nintendo Wii for Mother’s day. Unless she specifically asks for one, there are more mom-appropriate gifts you can get for the digitally savvy lady.

If you’ve got one of those old-school, baking-cookies moms that expects grandchildren anytime now … and she wields a mean remote control, congrats - you’ve got a true digital mom. Here are few gift ideas for the mom that straddles the line between traditionalist and high-tech.

Keep her memories set to random with a Digital Frame. But don’t forget the SD memory card! Mom didn’t forgot the batteries for that spark shooting, walking robot you opened Christmas morning did she?

Most digital frames don’t come with built-in memory so you’ll probably have to buy an SD memory card. They can be about as cheap as batteries since you’ll do well with under a GB, and they’ll last a whole lot longer.

If you want to tell mom you’ve made it on mother’s day - there’s no better way to do it than with a high-brow Digital Camera. Sure, anyone can find a cheap digital camera these days but… buying someone a cheap-assed digital camera is like buying someone a headache.

Remember there are only two brands of cameras in the world: Canon and Nikon. The rest are well… the rest.

Okay shooter, you’ve got mad skillz with the cordless so why not mount an LCD Monitor for mom in the kitchen or bathroom.

Philips makes this amazing mirror LCD flat screen. Yes, it looks like a mirror when it’s off but you can flip it on to watch Oprah. If mom has one of those luxury tubs in a bathroom that can deal with excessive condensation, the mirror LCD monitor is the perfect companion to Epsom Salts.
