Pushbutton KeySafe
Perhaps you make a habit of locking yourself out of the apartment. Maybe you’ve driven three hours to your cabin only to realize you left your keys at home. Say, once or twice, you’ve locked your baby in the car with the keys.
You’re gonna need one of these. Maybe get a couple.

TomTom ONE Portable GPS Vehicle Navigation System
MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE When you give your mom freeway directions, does she ask you to say it again without the “North/South part?” Does she get lost three blocks from home? Yeah. Me too. A friend of ours is a user interface specialist who researched and compared all the popular navigation systems for a client. He eventually bought this one for his folks, so I got one too. TomTom has changed my life, and its touch-screen interface is about as straightforward as an ATM machine. It not only navigates for you, but when you take a wrong turn, it gets you back on track. Go in on one with your siblings, and you’ll never have to give your mom directions again.

DaysAgo
Uh. Didn’t you open that salsa like a year ago? With DaysAgo tags, you know exactly how old your food is. Of course, you could also just put a strip of masking tape on the top and date it, but we both know that’s never going to happen. (Via Shelterrific.)

Cat Eye Compact Safety Light
