Cuddles, smiles and brekkie in bed will still be welcomed on the second Sunday in May, but your gift ideas don't have to stop at fancy soap, slippers and lunch! It's nearly a decade since we kicked into the 21st century, so how about updating that list of Mother's Day favourites?

Three-quarters of Australian households now have a computer, and two-thirds are connected to the internet, so why not trick out your techy Mum with some tools for the digital age?

It could be storage for all her digi data, from photos to MP3s, a cool laptop bag, a digital camera for happy snaps, a portable music player, a teensy-weensy new iPod Shuffle — you'd be amazed what's around.

To get you thinking beyond PJs and chocolate, we've put together a few items that range from fun to funky, cheapie to extravagant.

Remember, there are only so many scented candles one mum can use, so click with the times!

Note: Prices were correct at the time of writing. All prices are in Australian dollars.
