Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and because we know how difficult it can be to shop for these types of occasions we wanted to put together a list of products that can help you give your mom the best gifts possible: Relaxation and solitude. If you wanted to go big, you could always send her on an all-expense paid vacation, or even spring for a local massage package, but these days, thanks to these awesome pieces of tech, you can give your mom the getaway she deserves right in her own home.

Let’s be honest, sometimes we all just want to mute the world around us for a while. Moms need solitude just like the rest of us and these awesome noise-cancelling headphones provide just that. Not only do these headphones have multiple active noise cancelling modes, they’re also lightweight, feature a memory foam headband and ear cups and they’ll also last up to 40 hours on a single charge. If your mom lives in a particularly chaotic household, a gift like this could be a sanity-saver.

If you think your mom would like to take the escape a step further than even noise-cancelling headphones can allow, then let us suggest the fantastic Meta Quest 2 VR headset (formerly, the Oculus Quest 2). With a VR headset, your mom can go on a virtual vacation to basically anywhere in the world (and beyond) any time she wants. If you’ve never used a Meta headset before, take it from us, it’s a breathtaking experience. From mountain climbing, to museum exploring, to space-faring, the Quest 2 makes it possible. Don’t let the “Meta” in the name scare you, this device is intuitive for most and not very difficult to use. It can even be used while sitting down with your feet in, say, a shiatsu foot massager.

Is a full-on VR headset a little bourgeois for your mom’s tastes? If so, perhaps an eye massager mask would be a better option. This mask not only blocks out light and provides a relaxing massage, it also has a built-in heating element and even bluetooth audio capability.
Key Features

20″ deep pocket on the front
