Why gift Mom an Apple Watch in 2023? It's not just a fun and trendy tech device that lets Mom access her messages on the go, it's a gift that can help her manage her heart and lung health. (The Apple Watch 8 has a number of health-tracking features, including an optical heart sensor, an electrical heart sensor for ECG readings, a blood oxygen sensor and a new body temperature sensor.)

The Apple Watch Series 8 features the new S8 chip for improved performance and an always-on display. The battery life can be extended to 36 hours when in low-power mode. The Apple Watch 8 features a durable design and is swim-proof, dust-proof and crack-resistant. You can find it in four different colors.

The 41mm Apple Watch 8 lists for $399 on Apple's website; the 45mm Apple Watch 8 costs $30 more. Right now, the smaller Apple Watch 8 is currently priced at $329 at Amazon and the larger is $359, so now is a great time to buy.

The design of the AirPods Pro 2 is fairly similar to the previous generation, but Apple has introduced touch control to the AirPods Pro 2 to help users more seamlessly control their AirPods.

How does Mom's garden grow? If the important woman in your life has a green thumb, Amazon has a deal for Mom you'll want to check out: The Aerogarden Sprout hydroponic indoor garden is less than $50 on Amazon, half off its original price.

The LED lights are energy-efficient and provide a full spectrum of light that tunes to the specific needs of the included plants, maximizing photosynthesis and leading to rapid, natural growth and abundant harvests. With the gourmet herb seed kit included (three seed pods containing Genovese basil, curly parsley and dill) and a three-ounce bottle of all-natural plant nutrients patented by Aerogarden, Mom will have everything she needs to get started.

Even if Mom doesn't have a green thumb, she'll be surprised at the herbs and veggies she can grow with the help of a smart garden kit. Given Amazon's blazing fast two-day shipping (and in some areas, next day shipping), the Aerogarden makes a great last-minute Mother's Day gift. (It makes a fun gift for yourself, too!)

Traditional activity trackers often have a high-tech look that doesn't quite fit formal occasions. That's why we like the Oura Ring -- the tracker is designed to look great in any situation.

The Oura Ring tracks how well you sleep, your daily movement and heart rate, can help set health goals, take you through guided meditations and more. This small wearable can sync your health and workout data from your favorite apps through Apple Health, Google Fit, Strava and Natural Cycles.

Available in two styles and five metal finishes. Price varies by finish.

Quince 100% leather motorcycle jacket

100% Leather Motorcycle Jacket
Quince

Why not gift your cool Mom a new leather jacket?

"I really wanted a cool moto jacket for fall to look great with everything from dresses to leggings," CBS Essentials writer Leah Groth said.

"I am quite picky when it comes to leather, but Quince is famous for using high-quality materials, like leather, cashmere and linen, and selling expensive-looking pieces for a fraction of the price of their competitors. This moto jacket seemed too good to be true. A stylish 100% leather jacket for $150? However, as soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the one. The leather is buttery and soft and the cut is incredibly comfortable. I showed it to my husband and he couldn't believe that it didn't cost three times as much. I love it so much that I am ordering it in the cognac color as well."

Upgrade mom's entire shower routine with Fig. 1's body care collection. The gift-worthy line includes an exfoliating body polish, a body serum and a body oil. 

The brand's Retinol Renewal Body Serum is made with encapsulated, slow-release retinol to reduce the appearance of crepey skin and age spots. Fig.1's All Over Oil is made with a combination of vitamins A, C and E to provide antioxidant support and nourish and maintain skin barrier. It also has squalane to hydrate and condition the skin. 

The exfoliating body polish is formulated with fine-grain volcanic pumice and glycerin. It's the only scented product in the line and its scent features eucalyptus notes with fresh mandarin and sandalwood. CBS Essentials senior writer Lily Rose loves the way that it smells. "It's just the right amount of scent. It refreshes my senses in the shower but doesn't cling to my skin all day and interfere with perfumes," she said.
