What moms really want on Mother’s Day is electronic gadgets – A recent survey shows

There is a vast pool of options and choices for children to gift to their mothers on the Mother’s Day but mostly the younger generation misunderstands what their moms really want. To this day, what generally has been a gift for a mother ranges from flowers to gift buckets to a ceremonial cake. However, a recent survey indicates a little diversified range that mothers like and it surprisingly includes electronic gadgets.

A survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Ebates.com suggests that what we think mothers like might be able to bring a smile on their faces but might not be to their desires.

According to the research, this is what we think our mothers want on an occasion like Mother’s Day: Flowers, Jewelry, or a Cake would suffice.

This is what the survey suggests: Flowers, Jewelry, Tablet/Smartphone.

Yes, its tablets and smartphones, moms have gone tech-savvy. But don’t get ahead of yourselves; it is only limited to mobile technology. The interface of these devices is the major aspect that lures the older generation to them. It is simple and it is attractive. Mostly there is no hassle of mice devices and it is light-weight and very handy.

One other thing why moms like smartphones and tablets is the clear and vivid displays that make them easier to read content and watch videos. Moreover, devices like iPads and Kindles are more handy to hold than a book or a portable DVD player.

One of the most attractive thing seen in a mobile device is the applications pool. Apple’s App Store has more than 600,000 apps on one platform and Google has more than 500,000 combined with third-party developers’ sites.

Moreover, these devices connect to the internet seamlessly where everything from books to music to television shows are available either for free or on minimal charges.

This is why, it might be a costly purchase at the beginning but in the long run it has a lot of utility, especially in the household. Furthermore, it is a one-time cost that lasts for years in comparison to flowers or cakes and candies.
