(ARA) - Searching for a gift that will make mom's eyes light up this Mother's Day? How about getting her something she really needs ... an excuse to take more time to relax and pamper herself. Whether that means lunch with the girls, a manicure, or some peaceful moments in front of the TV watching her favorite program.
With all her obligations, this may seem impossible. In fact, a recent survey conducted by "Good Housekeeping" magazine in partnership with ABC News' "Good Morning America" showed that when asked what they felt the guiltiest about as a mother, 40 percent of moms surveyed said they don't have enough time.
Until someone has tested and engineered the time machine, doting dads will have to look for the next best thing -- the digital video recorder (DVR). The DVR lets mom record her favorite shows to watch when she wants -- after the kids are in bed and while dad is on the computer. The DVR also gives her the power to rewind, fast forward and pause live TV with the touch of a remote button so mom can multi-task her busy home life.
This Mother's Day, treat mom to dinner or send her on a date with her girlfriends and her favorite episodes will be waiting for her when she's ready. No time to stop and get a movie after work on Friday? She'll have one that she's been dying to see recorded on her DVR and can watch it with a glass of wine when the house is finally silent.
Even better, select DVRs like the ones available from satellite TV provider DISH Network, have a one-button, 30-second skip feature that lets mom fast forward through commercials to watch an hour program in 40 minutes or less.
Here's a creative gift-giving tip and a way to put a personal touch on the DVR -- sign up for the DVR in advance and record some of her favorite movies so she'll have the movies waiting for her when she gets home.
DISH Network has the highest-rated DVRs on the market. A DVR comes standard to new customers as part of the DishDVR Advantage Package. For more information on DISH Network DVRs, visit www.dishnetwork.com or call (800) 333-DISH (3474).
