According to NBC News, fully 64 percent of women say they would rather a digital camera than half-carat diamond earrings, and that's not all they want. Moms are wishing for the latest and greatest in tablets, phones, TVs, and more.

With that in mind, we've compiled this list that can help you get what mom really wants for Mother's Day. Whether she's the multi-tasking soccer mom; the working mom; the empty nester; or the crafty, blog writing, do-it-yourself mom, there's a gift for every type, ready and waiting to be wrapped.

Mom will absolutely love an EasyShare 14.0 megapixel digital camera. These pocket sized cameras will take all the pictures and videos she wants with the ability to then share them with friends and family in an instant.

She'll also never have to worry about lighting, or focus while it recognizes faces and then gives her the ability to tag them on-screen to make it even easier to share and find. Prices for these types of cameras are probably a lot better looking than the dollar signs surrounding diamonds too. Most price at just around the one hundred dollar range (not too shabby considering everything she's gone through for you…).

Have no fear; the Rearview Mirror Back-up System will make coming and going a lot easier and safer. This system makes for a simple set up; you can easily mount the camera on the back of the car by the license plate and the touch screen mirror clips on to the existing mirror while visual is triggered by the car reversing.

This is the perfect gift for the on the go working mom, the mom who loves to blog, and the modern mom who utilizes all the apps in the app store.

The Empty Nester

More than ever, moms are changing the way they keep in touch.

  1. Thanks so much for your Working Mom idea! My mother started her new job around the time I landed a job at DISH, and although she loves it, she’s been complaining about getting behind on her shows. If I get her an ultrabook convertible, she can use it for work, and she can use DISH Anywhere on it for entertainment. This way when she’s out of town, she can still stream live TV plus any of her DVR recordings, and keep up on all her favorites like she’s at home.
