We all know Amazon is a global player in the git market, but their innovation when it comes to Technology is what’s really peaking our interest and this Mothers Day they’ve got just the perfect Gift suggestions.
For many, this Mother’s Day will involve a change in tradition, with outings to favourite parks and restaurants being swapped for time in with the family. To reflect this change, Amazon Devices has a range of products that are perfect for quality time with mum without needing to leave the house! With Alexa on board, it’s a great way to keep the whole family entertained and productive, simply by asking Alexa to host a trivia night, listen to some music or recite a recipe. For mums wanting to unwind, Amazon’s range of Kindle devices gives access to millions of book titles that’ll keep her occupied – they’re also waterproof so she can read in the bath or in the backyard by the pool!
Of course many of us sadly may not be able to visit Mum this year due to social distancing but The Echo Show 8 is the next best thing with it’s ‘drop-in’ feature that enables video calling and messaging to those with another Echo Show device.
The Echo Show 8 has an 8″ HD screen and stereo sound; Alexa can help Mum manage her day at a glance, show her the latest recipes and has a video calling and messaging feature. Mum can call friends and family who have the Alexa app or an Echo device with a screen. Connecting with family outside of home has never been more important this Mother’s Day and Alexa makes it much easier to do so!
RRP: $229

Plus, with stereo sound, Mum can dance and sing along to her favourite tunes.
