Best Electronic Gifts for Soccer Moms

Dr. Jamie Yvette
When planning to buy a gift for a "soccer mom", it is important to consider her busy schedule, the pride she takes in her children, and her need for convenience. Soccer moms often do not get the credit they deserve for the active role that they play in their children's lives and the efficiency with which they run their households. Show a soccer mom how much she is valued by giving her the perfect electronic gift this holiday season. If you're stomped for ideas, the following are a few suggested items.

Audiovox 7" Audio/Video Homebase Message Center and Digital Picture Frame

What more could a busy soccer mom ask for than a high-tech message center in the form of a 7-inch LCD picture frame? The Audiovox 7" Audio/Video Homebase Message Center and Digital Picture Frame is the perfect electronic gadget for this on-the-go woman, enabling her to store up to 125 of her favorite high resolution photos, record short audio and video messages for her loved ones, and leave notes on a dry-erase board. This makes for an outstanding electronic gift for any soccer mom and is available for sale on Buy.com for $94.95.

Be™ Digital Pocket Pix

If you know of a soccer mom who loves to show off photos of her kids to everyone she meets, Be™ Digital Pocket Pix may be the perfect electronic gift for her. This pocket-sized gadget holds up to 180 digital photos, all viewable on a 1.8" OLED screen. All your soccer mom needs to do is transfer her favorite photos from her PC to Be™ Digital Pocket Pix. A rechargeable battery enables her to get in three hours of "bragging rights," recharge, then start all over again! This item can be purchased from Brookstone for $39.95.

Clocky Alarm Clock on Wheels

If the soccer mom in your life needs a little help getting started in the morning, Clocky Alarm Clock on Wheels is sure to get her out of bed. Designed by Nanda Home Inc., this funny little electronic gadget will permit your soccer mom one free snooze before it jumps off her nightstand (up to 3 feet) and finds a place to hide! It's hard to sleep when you're busy laughing. And even if your soccer mom becomes a bit irritated at she searches for Clocky, at least she'll be up and out of bed in a jiffy. Clocky sells for as low as $38.99 on Amazon.com.

A soccer mom's tote bag is not complete without a compact camcorder to capture some of her favorite moments on video.

    Great ideas for soccer moms, Jamie. My youngest sister is one! I like what Charles said about a car seat massage too.

    And don't forget those car seat or recliner massage thingies. Or a foot massager. ;)

    Sounds like a plan Mike! LOL

    Coincidence! I just completed "electronic gifts for women" (not soccer moms) and we had two of the same, Jamie, the Audiovox and the Kindle. So we think alike! When you run for president, I would be proud to be your running mate.
