Sunday May 12 is Mother’s Day in the United States — meaning that you’ve got got just under one month to pick your mom up something that lets you know how much you appreciate her.
While flowers or chocolates are standard fare, Apple’s got an even better idea: Why not buy her an Apple product? With that in mind, the company has debuted its Mother’s Day gift guide for 2019.
The gift guide focuses on accessories. Apple’s recommendations range from AirPods to Apple Watch Straps to iPad add-ons. The most expensive items on the list are the Apple Watch Hermès straps, which sell for $339. The cheapest are some of the iPhone cases, which retail for $39.
In all, the list isn’t an overly inspired one, although it’s worth checking out if you want an overview of some of the accessories Apple offers.
Perhaps the most notable inclusion is the Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones, part of the Beats Skyline Collection. Previously $349.95, these have been discounted to $279.95. That’s still out of the price range that many of us have to spend for Mother’s Day, but it’s nonetheless a nice reduction.
