Give me a great CD or electronic gadget and I'll show you one happy working mother at Christmas!

Last week it was all about the apparel, this week it's all about gift ideas for lovers of electronics and cds!

  • Let's face it sometimes moms are on the go and don't have a place to charge their iPhone or iPod. But now NOVOTHINK offers a solar charger case that's easy to use and convenient for those who often forget to charge their device before they leave home. It charges continuously while being exposed to the sun either directly or through a window - eliminating the need for having to find an electrical outlet.  The charger comes in four colors (pink, green, blue and black) and retails for just under $70.00.
  • DXG has introduced the DXG Luxe Collection of HD camcorders with high fashion designs, quality HD video capture, vibrant stills, impressive storage capacities, and a matching clutch bag case - perfect for the fashion-conscious working mother. It's an affordable, chic gadget that fits in the palm of her hand or purse, so mom can bring it along anywhere to capture the precious moments when she gets to be away from the office and creating memories with her children. The DXG Luxe Collection features two models: the DXG-Riviera and DXG-Soho. The Riviera features a chic quilted design and the Soho a hip argyle pattern in pink, blue, black or white - each with a matching clutch case. Captures HD video (720p), high quality photo up to 8M, and stores up to 8 hours of video on a 16GB SD card. It has a sleek form factor, 1.5-inches thick with a 3-inch LCD screen. Cost is $149.99.
  • Working Moms notoriously put themselves last when it comes to self-care. Help ensure mom gets her yoga classes in everyday while she's in the car driving to and from work with the small, road-tested Drivetime Yoga . Drivetime Yoga provides techniques mom can use during the time she already has to stay flexible, calm and tone muscles. Kids can also get into the action and enjoy stretching in the back seat! The Drivetime Yoga illustrated booklet, 2 CD award-winning set and the Easy Rider Kit (Drivetime Yoga CD, Car Aromatherapy, Travelers Boost Candy and bonus CD of relaxation music from guitarist, Mark Romero) - all are available at the website for $39.95. Note: CDs, books, etc can be ordered individually.
  • Balancing a full-time career both at home and at work can leave working mothers feeling stressed. So, Finding Peace & Harmony, a series of seven, 10-minute guided meditations designed to help listeners let go of unnecessary things that are holding them down, could be the perfect stocking stuffer this year. The series gives listeners the tools to expand their thinking to determine what they really desire and help them make it happen. Using a guided meditation is as simple as finding a few minutes of quiet time and turning on the stereo or plugging in an MP3 player. The guided meditations are available on compact disc and as downloadable MP3s  through the website, as well as via Amazon, other online retailers, and in bookstores and gift shops in Atlanta and across the United States. The CD is $15.95 and the MP3 download is $12.95.

Stay tuned for the next in the four-part series of gifts for working mothers. Next up: Ideas to pamper mom.
