Energized
With very little sleep under her belt, a mom who can keep up with energetic kids is usually accompanied by copious amounts of coffee. Feed the caffeinated need that started long ago with the Krups KM7000 Grind-and-Brew 10 Cup Coffeemaker. The hardworking coffee maker has multiple digital settings that control features such as the automatic coffee bean grinder, the coffee strength settings and the coffee-to-water ratio. www.nova68.com, $129.99 USD

Noisy
In a house full of noise, sometimes mom just wants to escape to her own reality, even if it's reality TV. The Sennheiser Wireless Headphones RS 110 are lightweight and comfy enough to wear for long periods of time spent listening to music or her favorite show. The headphones function well between walls and outside up to 1000 meters from the transmission base and run on AAA batteries. www.circuitcity.com, $69.95 USD

Animated
You and your kids are the silliest of moving targets. Give mom an all in one digital camcorder and camera that's easy to operate. The Sanyo VP-HD700 shoots 720p high definition videos and records them directly to SDHC memory cards. The unit also contains a 7 MP digital camera, 2.7” wide screen, digital image stabilization, in-camera editing, a docking station and easy playback to an HD or standard TV screen. www.amazon.com, $399 USD

Practical
You always were the practical one, give that girly techie mom just what she needs with way more style than your average USB drive. The Pexagon USB Sticks come in a pack of three colors (purple paisley, lime green and hot pink butterflies) and include either 1 or 2 GB of memory. The drives will keep her on the move and save her from carrying around a bag stuffed with files and that ancient laptop. www.pexagontech.com, $44.99-$59.99
