BEIJING, May 13 -- For the first time, instead of flowers, Bai Jiexin has bought her mom "something more practical" for Mother's Day, which falls on Sunday -- an electric toothbrush.
"I hope this gift will make her enjoy a more high-quality life," Bai said.
Bai doesn't worry about if her mother, in her fifties, will accept the new device as she has been a technophile for the past 10 years and bought a Sony laptop online as early as 2007.
"Back then, the delivery service wasn't so convenient. My mom had to travel more than 100 kilometers to get the laptop from the logistic station in another city," Bai said.
Though Bai's mother was different to her peer group 10 years ago, she is much less distinctive today, as more young people are taking their mothers into a new era through new gifts.
Entering the new century, more Chinese people began to celebrate Mother's Day and flowers have long been the popular gift.
More people, however, try to buy electronics or smart devices for their mothers in recent years, making the Mother's Day a new entrance for middle-aged or elderly women to have a smarter and more convenient life.
"Bought the cleaning robot as the Mother's Day gift, a little earlier though, it doesn't matter compared with freeing mom from the tiring cleaning work," said a comment, about a cleaning robot, on China's leading online retailer JD.com.
Both JD.com and its rival Tmall.com have begun their sales campaign several days ahead of this year's Mother's Day, with colorful webpages advertising electronics, including not only smartphones but also cleaning robots and smart televisions.
