Dad’s not the exclusive gadget head in the family anymore.

Research shows people spent just as much on gadgets the week before Mother’s Day as they did the week before Father’s Day, leading researchers to conclude your mom’s a geek, too.

Writes The AP: “Specifically, consumers spent more than $865 million in the week before the Mother’s Day, up 9% from last year’s $791 million. Spending for the week before Father’s Day was about $873 million, up 3% from last year’s $846 million.”

Hot items included digital cameras, portable music players and GPS navigation devices.
