Handmade in Berkeley, California, these one-of-a-kind bottle openers are crafted from vintage piano keys and guitar frets, and are sure to spark conversation at your next dinner party or gathering. Artist Ward Wallau got his start repurposing old subway tokens into cufflinks, before turning his attention to reclaimed musical instruments.<\/p>\n

Each bottle opener comes presented in a green flannel pouch with a certificate of authenticity. As they\u2019re all made by hand from different instruments, no two pieces will be exactly the same, giving mom a true collector\u2019s piece. Our suggestion: pick up one of these bottle openers and present it to mom with a bottle (or two) of her favorite wine<\/a>. Purchase: $95.00 on Uncommon Goods.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If your mom is a music fan, there\u2019s no better box set to get her than this 17-disc deluxe set containing all of The Beatles\u2019 original albums. The limited-edition collection also includes a DVD of behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the band, plus two CDs of non-released tracks. The included album jackets feature a mix of original artwork, photographs and new notes that detail the recording process of each album.<\/p>\n

Each disc has been digitally remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, where The Beatles recorded almost their entire discography. While many re-releases seek to amplify the music to appeal to a modern audience, reviewers say every track in the collection is faithful to its original master, reproducing every note in its most earnest, accurate form. Whether your mom is a music collector or just a casual fan, this is one of the most definitive collections of music available to purchase online today. Purchase: $173.00 on Amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Released this week \u2014 just in time for Mother\u2019s Day \u2014 the Urbanears Ralis takes the classic portable speaker and updates it with a contemporary, modular form reminiscent of a cubist sculpture or avant-garde handbag.<\/p>\n

Available in gray, red or slate blue, the speakers fully charge up in just two hours and get up to 20 hours of playback time. Its Bluetooth 5.0 technology picks up devices up to 30 feet away, and can connect two devices simultaneously to switch out DJ duty. Its IPX2 rating means it can handle a few splashes without worry, while the steel construction is at once lightweight and durable.<\/p>\n

What we like: a built-in power bank lets you charge your phone while the music is playing, while the discreet side buttons and tonal carrying strap keep things clean and minimal. Purchase: $199.00 on Urbanears.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

These WH-1000XM3 headphones from Sony pack a ton of features into a sleek, travel-ready package. In addition to delivering crisp, reliable sound, Sony\u2019s noise-cancelling technology automatically adjusts how much ambient sound is let in, depending on your environment. The headphones are also tuned to recognize subtle background noises, like voices or weather patterns, to block them out as well.<\/p>\n

Mom will like the sophisticated, silver colorway, which is a nice step-up from the basic black headsets on the market. She can also pair the cups with Alexa to control music, calls and volume settings using just her voice. The headphones get 30 hours of battery life, even on Bluetooth. Need to power up quickly? Just ten minutes of charging (with an AC adapter) gets you up to five hours of playtime. Purchase: $349.00 on Amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 2.0 Earbuds<\/strong><\/p>\n
