Gift Guide for TV Addicted Moms

Pam Gaulin
When moms need to unwind after a hard day of working inside and outside the home, they may try to sneak in some guilty pleasure time. For TV-addicted moms, time is of the essence. It could be a rare instance when mom gets to watch TV in peace, and there are some gifts you can buy her to make her TV time more pleasurable.

Gift Guide for TV Addicted Moms

Popcorn Gift BasketGive mom a homemade popcorn gift basket complete with a brand new air popper. Air poppers retail for a out $20 to $30. Include a couple of bags of popcorn, or go gourmet and buy her a jar of Orville Redenbacher popcorn seeds.

Add in a couple of containers of Kernel Seasonings. When mom sprays on some low-calorie and fat-free butter spray she can flavor the popcorn by sprinkling on some Kernel Seasonings. The seasonings come in Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate Marshmallow, Caramel, and Kettle Corn. Or go for savory with Ranch, Cajun or Nacho Cheese.

Include a large bowl and a McCormick Sea Salt grinder. The spices may all be purchased in the grocery store.

TV Guide Subscription

For busy moms a TV Guide subscription will help her stay on top of her favorite TV shows and specials. Online TV listings can be hard to organize and incomplete. Buy a copy of TV Guide and fill out the subscription card.

Foot Massager and Neck Pillow

Let mom pamper herself while watching TV. Buy her a foot massager to use while sitting on the couch. A neck pillow will also make her comfy while she indulges in her favorite TV shows. Shop at local department stores or Bed, Bath and Beyond to find pampering products for moms.

Top Chef Cookbook


Moms who love to watch Top Chef can try out their favorite Top Chef recipes with the Top Chef Cookbook. You can buy one at Amazon.com or at Bravotv.seenon.com .

Mom's TV Shows, to Go

Buy mom an iPod Touch so she can watch her favorite TV shows on the go. Maybe mom commutes on public transportation, or has some down time while waiting for appointments. Buy one at the Apple Store , or at a local department store.

Remember to download the current version of iTunes to her computer.

New HD TV

Prices on televisions have recently come down, since the holidays. They will go down even further after the big game. Consider investing in a brand new HD TV for mom, so she can finally have her own TV.


Giant Remote

After a long day mom may not want to fumble around with a TV remote. Buy her a giant-sized TV remote that can be used with the TV, cable box and DVD and VCR. You can find one of these in many different stores, including Ocean State Job Lot or Walmart. They retail for about $20. Even a tired, TV-addicted mom can't misplace this remote!
