Ring Car Cam

Mom might not be a techie, but she's bound to love the sleek design and easy plug-and-play operation of the new Ring Car Cam. It provides all the functions of a regular dash cam, but in a sexier package. Better still, it syncs with all her Ring Smart Home products. The Ring Protect Go app provides Live View and Two-Way Talk, plus built-in GPS, real-time notifications, and more. Plus, next time there's a fender-bender, there'll be evidence.

Cauldryn Coffee Pro

With its rechargeable battery that offers up to 10 hours of temperature control, this smart travel mug keeps Mom's coffee or tea at the perfect temperature for hours—it even heats to boiling. The 16-ounce capacity makes this mug ideal for commuting, road trips, and weekend campers. Sync it with the app to further dial in your ideal hot drink settings.

Snailax Shiatsu Massage Cushion with Heat Massage

There's not a mom on the planet who spends any significant time in the car, either as a driver or passenger, who wouldn't love this.

Best of all, it's removable and portable, so it's great at home, at the office, and in the car with the included cig-lighter adapter.

Dahey Mini Macrame Succulent Mirror Charm

If you've got the right kind of mom, consider the gift of mini macrame vintage plant hangers to adorn her rearview. They're real woven cotton, with a real clay pot inside. The included succulent is fake but can easily be replaced with almost anything that makes your mom happy. Each hanger is 10.5 inches tall.

Rohent Baby Backseat Car Camera

New moms—or any mom with young kids in child car seats—will love this gift. It takes the old-fashioned baby mirror to the next level with 1080p HD video and even night vision, so mom can keep her eyes on that precious cargo in the backseat while she's driving. Installation is a breeze—it takes five minutes—and operation is so simple even those old-school moms will master it in no time.

Beats Studio Buds

Let Mom enjoy the solitude of the drive even with noisy kids in the back seat and honking traffic. They offer eight hours of listening time (24 with the charging case) and Auto Noise Canceling, plus they come in five cool colors. Before all you Apple heads cry foul, rest assured these earbuds will sync seamlessly with either iOS or Android devices. They even activate by saying "Hey Siri."

Disney Pixar "Incredible Mom" T-Shirt

Available in five cool colors and in a variety of sizes and styles (including one for dads), this official Disney graphic tee isn't really car-related—but Mom will love it.
