Mother's Day is set to take place on Sunday, May 8, in the United States and other countries, and ahead of the upcoming event, Apple has shared a Mother's Day Gift guide that is filled with gift suggestions for those who are looking to treat their moms with Apple devices.
The first part of the gift guide focuses on the iPad mini, iPad Air, and accessories like the Apple Pencil to go along with it, while the second part highlights the iPhone 13, third-generation AirPods, and AirTags.
Apple also suggests the Apple Watch Series 7 as an ideal gift, along with various Apple Watch bands and the Apple Fitness+ subscription service. The AirPods Max, HomePod mini, and Apple TV 4K are also listed as gift possibilities.
Each section of the gift guide has an appropriate heading, such as "for her dreams and plans," "for her most important connections," "for reaching her fitness goals," and "for her deepest relaxation."
Apple regularly provides gift guides for major holidays, including Christmas, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and more.
