Roomba
Proceed with caution! If this is for your mom yes a Roomba is a GREAT gift. If this is for your partner, ask first. I asked my husband for a Roomba for Christmas so we could just set it and forget it while we were at work – it was more of a house present. But not every woman is going to appreciate a vacuum for a gift.
