Alexa can also turn your lights on and off or play music from Spotify.

Will the special mom in your life appreciate flowers when there are so many great high tech gifts out there? Of course she will – that’s what moms do. But knowing that, why not show her how much you appreciate that selfless streak and get her what she really wants?
