Today may be Cinco de Mayo, but before your third margarita remember that Sunday is Mother's Day. Yeah, it's a Hallmark holiday, but mom probably expects something and you love mom and…well, guilt is a powerful motivator, isn't it? But why tech? Because mom lives in the 21st century, too!
No disrespect to Apple, but their free iPod/iPhone earbuds are neither good enough nor "girlie" enough in a mom aesthetic kind of way. This new series of ATH-CKF300 earbud headphones ($30/pair) from Audio-Technica, a well-respected name in sound circles, are actually pretty – they come in a variety of feminine floral patterns in dark pink, gold, lime green, light pink, pink, purple, white and mint green, each with matching cases. They'll go great with those sparkly floral tops mom favors.
