Sometimes gifts for mom can be tough to choose, especially when she already has everything she needs, right? I mean, your mom gave birth to you, what more could she want?

I love gadgets and household tools that make life easier. Even my own mom, who is a minimalist, just purchased a device to aid her in cleaning. We were all shocked. There are several cleaning tools that are actually cool enough to give mom this year on Mother’s Day.

We’ve all heard the joke about giving mom a vacuum for Mother’s Day…. but what if that vacuum is fantastic and will change your family’s life? Loving Living Green would like to profile seven household gadgets that any mom would appreciate.

Seven Household Gifts Your Mom Will Love

1. Dyson Cordless Vacuum

Sometimes we comically talk about products that change our lives. However, the Dyson Cordless Vacuum has actually changed mine. This vacuum is life changing because of its capabilities.

First, the vacuum is cordless so you can take it wherever you need it. Second, the attachments are interchangeable, including the pole. So, if you want to dust for sneaky cobwebs, connect a precision attachment to the pole and you can reach those high ceilings with ease.

Need to vacuum in between cushions or stairs? Detach the pole and attach a brush head directly to the vacuum base.

The Dyson is excellent if you have ceiling fans in your house. Use the brush and pole, and those hard to reach blades will be as clean as a whistle. Moms will appreciate the versatility of this vacuum.

Features:

• Cord free
• HEPA filtration system
• Interchangeable attachments

2. Nutrl Bath Towels

Just tell mom that you are giving her silver this year… it just so happens to be infused into bath towels. These towels are designed with infused silver to fight odors forever. They also dry 50% faster than typical towels. No more throwing smelly towels away. Like silver, these shall last a lifetime!

Features:

• Antimicrobial and odor free
• Light weight
• 50% less drying time than typical towels

3. Bissell Crosswave Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner and Mop

The Crosswave is a favorite household tool because it vacuums WHILE it mops. The Bissell has settings for both hardwoods and short carpets/rugs. Because of the Crosswave’s excellent suction power, it cleans very well in between slats of hardwoods. The Crosswave cuts mopping time in half because you don’t have to vacuum or sweep first!

Features:

• Mops and vacuums at the same time
• Cleans both hardwoods and rugs with a push of a button
• Minimal clean up

4. Philips Hue Lights & the Echo Dot

I am going to group these two, but you can also purchase them separately. Philips Hue Lights and Amazon’s Echo Dot work perfectly together. Phillips Hue Lights are light bulbs that you can turn on/off by using an app or Alexa. All you need are the bulbs and a connecting hub. Each time a light bulb burns out, replace it with a Hue and your lights will become an automated paradise. If you are at work or the movies and wonder if you left the lights on, pull up your app and check.

As much as we love the Hue lights, we really love them in tandem with the Alexa Smart Speaker and the Amazon Echo line of products. With simple Echo Dots placed in the house, mom will be able to tell Alexa what lights to turn on and off, and to what percentage. At night, with voice commands, she can request… “Alexa, turn off dining room” or “Alexa, turn hall to 12 percent.” Just like that, all the lights are turned off or dimmed! There are added bonuses with purchasing an Echo. You can play music, set timers, monitor the weather, play Jeopardy, check the television line up, and much more.

Hue Features:

• Control your house lighting from anywhere
• Dimming capabilities
• Compatible with Apple Home, Google Assistant, and Alexa

Echo Dot Features:

• Voice control for smart home lighting, thermostats, and door locks
• The convenience of checking the news, creating/adding to the grocery list, checking the weather, set alarms, play music, and more
• Hands free calls

5. Roomba

Roomba has several models. Whether you buy mom an older model or the newest and shiniest, they all VACUUM for her! If you have high traffic areas in your house, push a button on the machine, a remote control, or your app and Roomba exits her dock and begins cleaning. You can create a schedule for your Roomba, and she will vacuum every day at the planned time. Roombas are especially wonderful if you have pets because you don’t have to worry about continually vacuuming pet hair. She also works with Alexa’s voice control system.

Features:

• Powerfully cleans dirt, pet hair, and allergens
• Adjusts to both carpets and hardwoods
• Automatically maps the house so that she can clean an entire level of your home (she cannot walk upstairs yet).

6. Germ Guardian Air Purifier

I know I have focused a lot on floor cleaning tools in this article, but that is because clean floors are imperative in keeping a tidy home. Although technology is impressive these days, inventors have not yet mastered a robot that dusts for us. The closest I have come to someone dusting in my house is through a good quality air purifier. The Germ Guardian not only dusts, but it kills germs and allergens too!

Features:

• UV-C light to kill germs
• HEPA air filter traps up to 99.97% of pollen, dust, mold spores, and pet dander
• Easy carbon filter replacement

7. Fast Charging Wireless Charging Stand

Whether mom is a steadfast iPhone owner or an Android lover, this wireless phone charger is amazing. Mom can set her phone on the stand and it will charge in a jiff. No more frayed charger cords or damaged charging ports.

Features:

• Wireless- no need to plug in your phone
• Fast charging
• LED light indicates charge

Mom is a special person and deserves a clean and tidy home 365 days per year. Although giving mom a household gift is socially taboo, there are some extra cool versions that she will be happy to receive. Happy shopping and Happy Mother’s Day!
