Aura Frame

If there’s anything grandparents and older relatives love, it’s getting photos of the kids. That’s why the Aura Frame has been my favorite gift to give in recent years.

It lets me upload new photos whenever I want and have them show on loved ones’ frames, no matter where they are. It’s an easy way to help relatives stay connected across generations, even when we’re physically far apart.

Sending photos

I can send snapshots from my phone to my parents’ Aura frame and surprise them with photos while on the go. When you upload photos to the app, you can control whose frames you want to send them to, and they’ll appear in the rotation. I love that my parents don’t have to look up anything on their phone or set up anything complicated.

Perks

  • Unlimited storage
  • No subscription fees
