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!
It's white. It's an iPhone. She'll love it. But the gift is to give it to her all set up – rip her music to it, sync her email account, her contacts – especially your email address and phone numbers since you never call or write, and spend time with her to show her the basics. If you're an iPhone owner, you know it'll be a short lesson, which means plenty of time for less instruction and more intimate conversation over Sunday brunch.
