Mothers are a gift that keep on giving. However, it can be challenging to think of thoughtful enough gifts for them on Mother’s Day. Going way beyond the obvious - perfumes, clothes and flowers - here are six cool gadgets you can consider giving her on this special day.
1. Dyson Supersonic Nural
Insist on some self-care for your mum with this high-tech hair dryer which features a special scalp protection mode. This mode automatically kicks in as the hair dryer gets closer to the scalp and reduces the heat to a comfier 55°C.
The device will also remember your mum’s go-to heat and airflow settings for each styling attachment, and automatically apply these the next time she uses it. If there’s an interruption or a pause while styling, a motion-sensing accelerometer automatically deactivates the heater, decreasing airflow and noise.
