BabyPing Video Baby Monitor for the New Mom 
New Moms have always relied on baby monitors in this modern age, but the technology has come a long way. Static-filled walkie-talkies are a thing of the past, and now it's all about the video.
There are plenty of different choices when it comes to video baby monitors, but the BabyPing is one of the best - and more importantly, it's one of the easiest to set up, so even non-techy moms should be able to get into it. The camera streams live to tablets and other devices. It's full of features, too, including night vision, audio filtering to keep background hiss down, two-way audio, built-in nursery rhymes, and Wi-Fi connectivity to PCs and iOS devices (no Android, unfortunately, though there are plenty of alternative baby monitors for non-iOS-using moms). $199.99
This one's for the working Moms, though even the retirees and stay-at-homes out there could no doubt find some use for it. LogMeIn is a subscription service that will allow her to access her home PC from anywhere.
Moms at soccer practice or dance recitals won't have to duck out to email their bosses that important file, and when she's with her friends, she'll be able to pull up all those cute baby pictures and home videos without having to worry about what's synced with her tablet or phone. She'll love accessing home files from a tablet.
Trying to juggle files between multiple devices can be a hassle even for the tech-savvy, so your mom will definitely appreciate not having to do it. Getting her a year's subscription to LogMeIn Pro will ensure that she remembers what a good son or daughter you are all year long. But no matter what kind of Mother's Day gadgets you get her, don't forget the flowers, too. $69.95 per year.
