Mother’s Day is just a few days away, so it’s time to buckle down and pick out the perfect gift. Flowers and chocolates are nice, but we all know what your mom really wants: an iPad 2. Make her day this year and get her something that will last long after the flowers have dried out and the chocolates have been eaten.
Here at Padgadget, we’ve prepared a list of the top 5 perfect companion gifts for that shiny new Apple tablet. If your mom already happens to have an iPad or an iPad 2, you can still pick up one of these great gadgets that she can use along with it.
- Sonos S5 Music System
Your mom can use the Sonos S5 Music System to control music in every room of the house, using just an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. The compact, portable S5 gives her the ability to stream all her favorite music straight from the Internet anywhere in the house. Stream music from iTunes, Rhapsody, Pandora, Sirius, and more. Your mom can access any artist, song, or album at any time – it’s like her own personal jukebox! Check out our review of the Sonos System here. Available at Amazon for $399. - Apple iPad Keyboard Dock
The iPad Keyboard Dock is compatible with both versions of the iPad and will provide mom with a place to charge her iPad and a full-sized keyboard, perfect for emails, work documents, and Facebook updates. The keyboard includes special keys that activate iPad features, and the dock plugs in to an electrical outlet using the USB power adapter. Compatible with both the original iPad and the iPad 2. Available at Apple.com for $69. - Hard Candy Stylus
If your mom likes to sketch, draw, or write notes on her iPad, this stylus from Hard Candy makes a perfect gift.
