What's tech.mum getting for Mother's Day?

Business IT - Technology

Catalogue portal CatalogueCentral.com.au has compiled a list of the top ten tech gifts for Mother's Day. How would your mum react to one of these items?

  1. iPod Nano
  2. Braun Silk Epil X'elle
  3. Sony Ericsson W200i
  4. HoMedics dermabrasion kit
  5. FujiFilm A610 Digital Camera
  6. DECT Cordless Phone
  7. Nokia N95 Multimedia Device
  8. Sony Ericsson Z310i Camera Phone
  9. HoMedics Fun Massager
  10. Palsonic Plasma LCD TV

Demand for iPods seems unlimited, but we're not sure whether an epilator, a massager or a dermabrasion kit count as 'tech'.

Given that CatalogueCentral's clients include Dick Smith, Sony Central, Tandy, Australia Post and Officeworks (as well as more traditionally mumsy retailers such as Sussan, Best and Less, and MySize) it's probably got a reasonable insight into what's hot.
