Google Pixel 9a
Google's Pixel phones are great Android devices. They have excellent cameras and are generally ahead of the curve when it comes to smart and AI technology that's easy to use and actually useful.
The Pixel 9/Pro are the current Google flagship phones. The 9a is the budget-friendly version of the Pixel that shaves a few hundred bucks off the retail price, but doesn't shave off too many features from the Pixels that came out last fall.
Check out our full review here. If your mom is due for a phone upgrade, and she's already an Android user, this could be the perfect gift!

Google Pixel 9a
Pixel Power
While phone gifts are risky, since it's a device that's highly personal, if you're gonna do it, the Pixel 9a is a good choice. It's a budget-friendly phone with impressive features, especially in AI photo editing. For instance, it can remove unwanted people or objects from pictures, or even help you take a group photo with the photographer included. The Pixel 9a offers some of the best features from Google's flagship phone at a fraction of the cost.
E-Ink Phone Case
Chances are you have lots of pictures on your phone that you'd love to see more often. This magical phone case helps you do just that thanks to the power of E-Ink technology.
Using layers of charged particles to produce different colour combinations, this display's E-Ink screen can recreate (roughly) photos from the library on your phone.

Family Photo Time
Odds are pretty good that your mom has a smartphone. And if she does, this could be the ultimate case for the mom who loves to show off photos of her beautiful family! This smartphone case uses E-Ink technology to display images from your photo library on the back of your phone. It's simple to do and has nearly no impact on your phone's battery life.
Belkin Auto-Follow Phone Stand
This is a bit less conventional of a gift idea, but for moms who love a good Facetime, this smartphone stand allows her to chat with family and get things done at the same time.
The secret to this stand is the swivelling base and smart features. It can recognize when a person is chatting on a call and if they start to shift out of the frame, this gadget will pivot your phone to "follow" you around.
Belkin makes high-quality phone accessories, but this is next-level, even for them!

Belkin Smart Stand
Facetime 360
Go hands-free with video calls (or record epic Mother/kid TikTok dances) with this handy smartphone stand from Belkin. It rotates 360 degrees, so when you set your smartphone on the MagSafe base and start the camera, your phone moves with you. Plus it works as a charger for your phone, too!
FotoStream Digital Picture Frame
There are a lot of options for displaying your digital photos, but I picked this one because it's simple enough to manage. However, if technology and your mom just do not go hand-in-hand, you can manage the photos for her!
This smart picture frame allows you to add photos from an SD card, USB drive, or wirelessly over the app. The great part is, your mom can share her picture frame's unique code with you, allowing you to update and add photos in case she can't figure out how to do that.
This picture frame has a touch screen allowing you to swipe back and forth to view photos and can also display current weather conditions.

Family Photos
FotoStream's smart picture frames allow you to enjoy your digital photos easily. This device comes in a variety of sizes (as small as 7 inches and as large as 21.5). It also comes with interchangeable wooden frames, so if you can match the look of the device to your personal style.
