Stumped on What to Get for Mother’s Day? This Digital Photo Frame is the Solution.

2 min read

Just a friendly PSA: Mother’s Day is next weekend, people. If you haven’t already gotten her the perfect gift, you’re running out of time. You’re actually getting pretty close to just being out of time, full stop. But, no need to panic. Luckily for you, we’re expert gift-givers here at Esquire. We write gift guides for a living, and the past few weeks have been all about Mother’s Day. But forget the top-10 lists—there’s one gift that’s perfect for almost every mother, and that’s a digital photo frame.

I’ve already waxed poetic on how much I love Aura’s Aspen frame—here’s the full review. But now seems like the perfect time to remind everyone that it makes a great gift, especially for family members. It’s sentimental, personal, and just high-tech enough to be considered a smart gadget but still easy enough to set up and use.

If mom lives far away, a digital photo frame is a great way to stay connected, no matter how big the distance. She can add photos herself from the easy-to-use Aura app, and so can you—your photos will show up on her frame as a nice surprise, and she can also see the photos you added in the “activity” section of the app, making it basically the most simple and most wholesome social media to exist. Oh, and it does live photos and videos, too.

And if you need any more convincing, Aura is slashing the prices of all its digital photo frames for Mother’s Day—you can take $30 off the Aspen 12-inch frame right now, making it the perfect time to buy.
