You’ve only got a little over a week to shop for Mother’s Day folks. And hint! Moms like gadgets too. Don’t be boring and just hand her a card or a bunch of flowers, get Mom something cool this year.

Stay away from a sweeper or anything that cleans. Ditto on anything that implies she doesn’t look good and needs help in that department. So, what to buy? What to buy? Here are some suggestions that might work for all different budgets.

Who says it’s not easy being green? With these five fun gadgets, being green has never been quite so red hot! Why not stop paying for batteries? How about going green while losing weight? Maybe you want to drive a Goblin car? Going green has plenty of upsides! First up, we’ve got the Solar Cell Strap. This one might be handy to have around for those times out hiking or bike riding when you can’t exactly plug in your charger in the nearest tree to charge up. The solar cell strap from Strap Ya runs (obviously enough) on solar power.

Personally, I have been locked out of my house more times than I care to remember. If you have this lock installed, you can use your phone to connect to the web and unlock the door through a web interface. Don’t worry, the lock can still be unlocked by a standard key or if you use the lock’s number pad with a code.
