Tech that, mum! Techie gifts for your digital-first mom

My mom recently demonstrated her newfound tech prowess to me by showing off all the cool gadgets and apps she's been using.

With new-age mums becoming more familiar with the technology, isn't it only appropriate that we take inspiration from these lovely ladies on this Mother's Day and gift them something they'll love to travel with or tune into? Here are some gifting ideas that will appeal to today's digital-first moms:
