Mario Kart Wii, $50
Grand Theft Auto IV probably isn't the best way to get your mom into video games, but Mario Kart Wii's colorful graphics and addictively simple controls should have her slinging red shells at you in no time. Even if she lives far away, you can still play her online. That way you won't have to hear her swear like Gordon Ramsay every time she loses.

Kona AfricaBike, $299
The AfricaBike was originally designed to help charity workers in Botswana deliver medicine from village to village, but Kona is now selling it here in the States. It's a low-cost, low-maintenance ride that even comes with a basket on the front that's perfect for stuffing with baguettes. The best part is that for every two they sell, they'll donate one to a nonprofit organization.

AeroGarden Deluxe, $229
When it comes to taste, supermarket tomatoes can't compete with the homegrown variety. But the resulting BLTs might not be worth the effort it takes to keep the plants from dying. The AeroGarden provides everything your little green buddy needs, including light, water, and other nutrients. So your only responsibility is deciding between hickory-smoked or whiskey-cured bacon.

Breville Juice Fountain Plus, $149
It has been scientifically proven that all fruits and vegetables taste better when they're smashed into delicious juice. Well, that's not entirely true, but pounding a tall glass of OJ sure is a lot easier than peeling a couple of oranges. Whatever your produce preference may be, you can jam it into this restaurant-grade juicer and drink yourself silly. You should note, though, that adding Vodka makes it slightly less healthy.
