As we see the first day of spring and another leap year pass us by. We know that Mothers Day will soon be upon us.
This weekend (Sunday 06th March 2016) is officially Mothering Sunday and for those of you out there just like ourselves who over the years have bought our parents everything imaginably possible, from watches to flowers, ornaments to perfumes and maybe running out of idea’s for something special this year – we may just have the answer.
Because we provide Web Design & Development – we thought it only right to keep to a digital/techie theme. We took a few moments this week to think of some digital gifts that will come in handy when making that crucial final decision.
We have listed these items below and have provided a brief description on each to give you more of an idea of what the product is and why we chose it.
E-Card:
E-cards have been around for quite some time, but it is amazing how many people still don’t know that much about them. An e-card is the electronic alternative to your standard hardcopy printed cards that you usually purchase directly from a shop. It can contain as much or as little information as you would find on a regular card, but because it’s online – it has some nifty features.
- Online cards allow you to add any image you like – so if your mum has a favourite celebrity or pictures of herself from the past – these can be added directly to the card before you send it.
- The content/wording within the card can be uniquely created by you, creating a far more personal and memorable approach.
- Some sites are now even allowing you to add videos to your e-cards. These can be chosen from the gallery of pre-recorded messages they have on file or you can record and upload your very own personal greeting.
- These sites are very easy to us – so the average computer user can create one without knowing or possessing any web design skills.
- Finally – your E-Card will never get lost in the post!! We can’t guarantee that there won’t be an email issue at the time of sending your e-card, but if there is – at least you can simply login and send it again quickly so your mum doesn’t have to miss out and be disappointed.
E-book:
E-books again, are here to replace the common printed book. Easily downloadable and versatile on multiple devices makes E-books a more efficient way to read these days.
Having similar comparisons to E-cards with a lot of content in one file, easily shared with others via email, it always being on file and not something physical that can get lost, E-books also have these advantages.
- The only space they take up is virtual space on your computer/device hard drive. So no more read/used books clogging up shelves or cupboards.
- After saying the above point. This is common sense. Because there is no requirement for physical paper print – E-books are environmentally friendly, using less trees, keeping the plant around that little bit longer.
- Zoom features for hard of sight and even sound applications for those who experience hard of hearing – E-book technology has excelled in the past few years and will continue to do so to make sure all customers are catered for and can utilise their products.
Wireless Yeti Slippers:
To finish off our list is a pair of Yeti Wireless Slippers. Not your average slippers as these include their very own battery powered heaters to keep those tootsies warm during these cold months.
As long as the slippers are kept charged up – they will provide your mums feet with warm glow they deserve. Sales show that unique gadgets like these slippers are now becoming the latest trend when choosing a gift for a special occasion.
Just a few things that make this product unique are:
- It’s evolution in clothing. Soon all clothing have the potential to possess these heat capabilities and beyond.
- One size fits all.. Again – many shoes are now introducing a simply system that works for all.
- With a long 4 – 6 hours heat time once charged. They provide plenty of enjoyment time.
We hope this blog has given you a few ideas, please remember most of us have just one mother, so treat her well on this special day!
