Mother’s Day is this coming weekend, and if you’re still empty-handed on the gift front, it’s not too late to find something that’ll make your mom's day extra special.

As of May 6, you can score up to 50% off select Amazon devices for Mother's Day. (While this sale isn’t specifically marketed as a Mother’s Day sale, the timing is perfect for those looking to get a great deal on Amazon devices.) It’s also National Small Business Month, so maybe that’s why so many of these smart gadgets are on sale right now. Either way, a deal’s a deal, and these Amazon device discounts are worth checking out.

Here are some of our top picks from the sale:

Best Kindle deal

Why we like it

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) is one of the most popular Kindle models on the market, and we rarely see it go on sale (even on Black Friday). So, if your mom’s a reader, you might want to jump on this deal ASAP.

The Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) has a 6.8-inch display, thinner borders than previous models, and an adjustable warm light that makes reading easier on the eyes. With up to 10 weeks of battery life and 20% faster page turns, the Kindle Paperwhite is a top-notch e-reader.

Thanks to its anti-glare display (300 ppi glare-free display), you can even read it in the glaring sunlight without missing a beat. It’s also waterproof, making it the ultimate beach companion for the summer months.

Best Echo deal

Why we like it

The Amazon Echo Dot (latest release) is a staple in any smart home setup. Once you have one, you’ll be saying, “Hey, Alexa,” all the time. (I’ll admit that I miss my Echo whenever I travel.) And with this deal, you can get one for just $27.99.

Best Amazon Fire TV deal

Why we like it

The 55-inch Amazon Fire TV omni QLED series offers a 4K Quantum Dot Display that’ll take your mom’s viewing experience to the next level, whether she’s watching Gordon Ramsey roast his competition or catching up on her favorite rom-com. The adaptive brightness also keeps your eyes comfortable in any lighting condition.

Plus, with the Fire TV Ambient Experience, she can display her favorite artwork or personal photos on the screen whenever she’s not using it. (Think: photos of the grandkids, family vacations, or beautiful landscapes.)
