If your mom already rocks an Android phone, then the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 will make an ideal companion to that device. Selling at Rs 10,999 on Flipkart and Croma currently, the watch is one of the most affordable Wear OS options you can get on the market with an impressive list of features.

While there’s a bit of a learning curve involved especially if she hasn’t used a smartwatch in the past, getting acquainted with it will be rewarding. She’ll be able to monitor her blood oxygen levels, heart rate, sleep quality, and even body fat percentage.

If the Galaxy Watch4 is too pricey, then the OnePlus Nord Watch serves as an excellent alternative.

A power bank can help ease some of the stress because she’ll no longer have to worry about the battery levels on her devices. It’s a practical, thoughtful and useful gift that moms will appreciate. The Mi Power Bank 3i with a 20,000 capacity is an excellent pick.

Surprise your mother with a gift that reflects your love and appreciation, and make this Mother’s Day a truly unforgettable one!
