Take the best cameras on a smartphone, add a fantastic case, and then tighten the sharpest, most versatile glass you can find. Those are the Moment lenses for the Pixel, Pixel 2, or Galaxy S8. Mom will take so many photos of you, but you'll be secretly happy about it.

Aeropress coffee and espresso maker
Do yourself a favor and get mom an Aeropress — it's the cheap and easy way to making better coffee at home in just 90 seconds. It sounds too good to be true, but this is all physics: the Aeropress combines the best ideas from espresso and French Press into a single, easy-to-clean contraption.
