Wearable technology is popular these days as it’s easy to carry, harder to lose, and often fashionably attractive. You know your mom’s preferred style best, but we’ve listed some of our favorite “tech togs” below.

(P.S. Unless Mom has a genuine passion for filling out digital profiles, the gift will be doubly appreciated if you program the technical parts yourself!)
