What a difference a generation makes. Twenty years ago, the home stereo was usually an area dominated by the man of the house. Now, women, especially blogging moms know as much about HTML, APIs, and JPGs as the guys. New toys for adults like internet-ready TV sets and iPads are what moms always were looking for in technology; ways to actually make your life simpler and easier.
Here are a few hot new products that mom will quickly see the value of and available now in time for Mothers Day.
1. The iPad 2 – well, sorry. Unless, you want to camp out at the Apple store every day until you’re lucky enough to get one of the ten delivered that day, it’s almost too late to order one. Apple is still 1-2 weeks out, a condition not helped by the Japanese tsunami. If you live in a major metro area, call or visit the Apple store to get the lowdown on how to get one in their daily shipments. I know from experience that for a very special mom, you can get in line at 6:30, get a reservation ticket, and come back to get your pick of iPads. Handy if you really really must have this for mom’s day.
Why submit to the Apple tyranny of white headphones that now mark you as more of a follower than as an early adopter? Now you can get microphone earbuds for half the cost and oftentimes better quality than the Apple variety. One pair we tried recently is the
iFrogz Plugz which comes in bright blue, red, purple, and lime, as well as drab, ordinary white. At $14.95

Peachy is a simple idea that may just be the trick if you’re trying to teach hand-washing to a little one not quite tall enough to stick his or her hands under the faucet. Invented by a mom, it’s just a cute plastic duck that slips over the faucet spout and extends the water stream out closer to the front of the sink. Couple that with a step-stool and most kids who stand can use this. The only trick is that you still will probably have to turn the faucets on and off. But it will save your back from having to lift your child up over the sink to get close to the water.
