PERSONAL USE of the DIGITAL FRAME
These include ways of using them in your home for your own pleasure as well as for gifts for different occasions. This list may include ideas you have not thought of before and it gives me yet another chance to share my passion with you!
When the heroic members of our military move far away from their families and loved ones in order to serve our country, they are certain to receive photos along with letters as mementos of life back "home". But it can be very important when our service people and their families are stationed far away that they are also able to share their lives with their families back home. That is when a wireless digital frame can be that very important conduit for members of the military and their families.
A digital frame is a great way to keep your goals and ideals accessible for daily viewing! Download some inspirational love quotes or poetry from Framebug.com....

How many couples experience the politics of In-Laws when it comes to displaying photos in the home? The problem is immediately resolved with rotating slideshows of all the family in one frame! Now that is a use for a digital frame that can literally save a relationship!
Although access to the Internet is growing at exponential rates daily, there are still many friends and family who are not quite up to speed! These same people may use a digital camera. If so, they can simply insert the memory card from the camera into a frame for immediate viewing of their photos. (Make sure the photo frame can read the camera's memory card.) Whether or not they have a computer or a digital camera, the digital photo frame, in its many shapes and forms can be uploaded for them and updated on a regular basis. Please see Ceiva Digital Frames and Ceiva Pro-80 and CeivaShare Digital Frame Reviews on this site for information about digital frames that can connect via phone lines (toll-free)! Digital frames can keep everyone connected and in touch.
This is a great way to de-clutter your poor fridge! Yes, there are also special magnetized refrigerator digital frames! These will work just as well on metal filing cabinets at home or at work!

My granddaughter always wants to check out what's new on Nana's refrigerator picture frame!
More than one youngster? That's great--each of their work will get equal time on the frame with no beginning and no end! And -- you've de-cluttered your life a bit!
Why should those who are unable to attend family gatherings miss out on everything? There is no more loving way to help remember the past (with scanned photos) and to keep current (with new digital photos of family happenings) than with a simple-to-use digital photo frame. Viewing these images has also been proven to stimulate memory. It can serve to bring the family close every day, even if visits are difficult to schedule on a regular basis. For those with short-term memory and those with Alzheimer diagnoses, this is a wonderful way to connect. Some digital frames can be programmed to play at certain intervals or times of day. That way, if the person is bed-ridden, there is no need to call for a nurse or family member, allowing the patient to enjoy the slideshow and the nursing staff or family member to attend to other patients or tasks. Some hold thousands of images, all of which can be easily removed or replaced as circumstances dictate. With the advent of the Wireless Digital Frame, it has become even easier to keep in touch with anyone, even if they are not capable of using the controls.
A digital frame can be a thoughtful and loving gift for the baby, as well as the new parents! A display with sound and photos of Mom Dad, Grandparents, other siblings, pets (and even some lullabies) can make a wonderful and unique new baby shower gift!
The frame can be also be used as a soft night light to soothe the baby. Frames also come embedded in stuffed animals, another excellent baby (or toddler) gift! New Baby Personalized Digital Picture Frame
Give a frame that tells a story, possibly with a musical slideshow, such as your child from birth to current age. What a unique and treasured gift! As an added note, frames also come embedded in items such as soccer balls, footballs, baseballs, etc. Since a good portion of his weeknights as well as weekends involve him in the game, I gave the soccer ball digital picture frame to my grandson for Christmas. It is a different and very practical gift he will have for years.
How about a musical slideshow consisting of a couple from dating to the current date. Or perhaps a series of photos of loving times shared together. Wouldn't that make a perfect gift!
Whether the answer is yes or no, a digital Christmas ornament is an ideal gift to give at Christmas time. Update them each year. Or give each family member their own ornament.
Take pictures at the celebration and load them into a frame for a treasured gift for the happy couple.
After the pictures were printed, I scanned them into my computer, then put them onto a memory card. My friend put the card into a new digital frame and presented it with pride to her brother and his new wife! The gift was appreciated so much by the whole family and even elicited tears from the groom's usually stoic father!
Digital photo frames are usually small enough to be portable and as such, their contents can be seen not only by one's relatives and friends, but anywhere they go such as to meetings, clubs, friends' homes, etc. Some are so simple to operate. All that is required is to plug the frame into a power outlet (though many can be run on batteries). Simply insert the digital camera's memory card and, if the frame allows, choose the photos for the display. In the simpler function models, the slideshow display will begin as soon as it is turned on. Some have built-in memory to store photos right in the frame. Digital frames are dynamic and so much more interesting and entertaining than the old "Gramma's Photo Brag Book"! Look for a pocketbook-sized frame with a case and carry it with you all the time! They also come in wallet sizes. And don't forget to look for one that also plays videos!
How about a gift which helps the giver as well as the receiver? My son brought up his trunk from the basement, full of paperwork and souvenirs from his childhood. For his birthday one year, I scanned everything onto a memory card and put it into a medium-sized digital frame that he can display for all his friends in his own home in Atlanta. For those items that could not be directly scanned, I took digital photos of them and then scanned them into my computer and onto the memory card. And guess what!....He had the perfect gift and I got rid of that smelly old trunk! For additional information check out Digital Scrapbooking Storage Media, a website that provides information on digital media used to store the memories in your digital scrapbook so that these memories can last and be enjoyed in the future.
Have you just returned from a week in Napa Valley on a wine-tasting tour? Put on a wine-tasting party for your family or friends with food to match the wine. All the while, the pictures of your vacation are being beautifully displayed in a rotating slideshow on your digital frame.
What about your latest trip to a far-off beach? And your friends and family are sure to apprecite a digital frame presentation much more than being trapped into watching endless "home movies!"
The actual frames for these products can be found in so many different colors, shapes, forms and materials. There is sure to be some that would satisfy any decorator's taste. There are many sites on the internet where breathtaking pictures of landscapes, buildings, animals, etc. can be downloaded free of charge or for a nominal fee. One of these, which I personally love, can be found by clicking here... This website specializes in professionally done architectural and landscape photos. Through a special arrangement with the web owner, you can choose pictures from that site and I will download them to an SD card for you at an affordable price. Just contact me after choosing the photos you want. Don't want a rotating slideshow? Just set the show on manual and change your pictures whenever the urge strikes! Don't worry about the hanging cord if it is distracting. It is a relatively simple job for a handy person to run the cord down through the back of the wallboard to come out just at the electrical outlet on the front of wallboard.
Encourage your children to take lots of pictures during a day at the park or at the zoo, a hike or at the pool. Extend the fun by having everyone be involved in the production end of transferring those photos onto a constantly changing digital photo frame! Then sit back together and enjoy the good times, over and over again! Your children may even want to take the frame to school for "Show and Tell" to proudly share their "production" with their classmates and teachers!
It's fun to put a digital photo frame right in a setting with other non-digital frames on the top of a table. It's definitely a show stopper and a very whimsical way to display a digital frame!
As a Slide Presentation for Use at Reunions, in Schools, etc.The possibilities in this category are multi-fold. How about "a walk down memory lane," a slideshow with photos from past years' reunions, rotating in a large frame? An art or science teacher could present the "year in review" for art or science projects as an end of year program. What better way to help your child to feel enthusiastic about art or science when your child sees his or her accomplishments out there for all to admire.
Last on my list, but certainly not least, is the digital keychain.
This makes a very impressive gift for just about anyone or any special occasion. They are very easy on the budget and usually have easy to use options and display images very well. They come in the coolest colors, too! I hope these suggestions get you thinking about different ways to enable you to incorporate digital frames into your home and into your life just as I have!
