For the mom who loves streaming and art
Designed to look a piece of framed artwork, Samsung's The Frame TV displays life-like paintings and photographs when it’s not playing their favorite movies or TV shows. You can order custom frame art from independent artists on Etsy or get a subscription to the Samsung art store for access to over 1,400 new and classic artworks to display when the TV isn’t in use. Plus, when they're streaming their favorites, it connects all their apps and works with Alexa for hands-free control, so they never need to stress about finding the remote again.

For the skin care fanatic
For the beauty aficionado in your life, Dr. Dennis Gross's DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro is the perfect gift as it uses LED lights over the entire face to target the look of wrinkles and breakouts. Many brands have their own versions, but Dr. Dennis Gross’ FDA-cleared technology uses a combination of 100 red lights and 62 blue lights that work together to target common skin issues. Red light supports natural collagen production, which helps to smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles and diminish visible discoloration, scars and damage, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, helping shorten the length of breakouts, calm red skin and prevent future breakouts.
