If your mother is watching a lot of TV right now, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus is a great gift for Mother’s Day. It can turn any HD TV into a state-of-the-art streamer that gets all the major channels and streaming services, including Netflix (we know your mother likes to watch Grace and Frankie like us) and Hulu. It transmits up to 4K resolution and the included remote control also controls the power and volume of the TV.
