Are Gadgets Listening To Us?

OK this has happened before to me before but this is sooooo strange. I'm convinced gadgets such as my iPad is listening to us.
About 20 minutes ago my son came into the living room with part of his phone case that clips to a belt. We both said we wouldn't trust it. So I said could it be turned into a car craddle for the phone but after a bit of discussion we soon decided not. He went on to talk about car mounts for phones for a couple of minutes and left the room. I've just come to my iPad and checked a notification on Facebook App. I scrolled down the feed and literally second item down was an advert for phone mounts. I haven't had the need to search for one or anything. It just seems too much of a coincidence to be just random.

Has anyone else had this happen.
