Digital Photo Frame, Mother's Day Gift of the Day

Photos are always a great gift for a mother because they are the only way you can come close to physically handing someone a memory. Before you dismiss that as overly-sappy, just ask a mother.

And ever-growing number of people rely on their digital cameras for all their photography and many never bother to get those digital pictures printed out, storing them on a hard drive instead. With a frame like this Digital Photo Frame by Phillips at the Sharper Image, the need to make physical copies of pictures - even for the purpose of gift giving - will be a thing of the past. The frame features a 6.5-inch color LCD screen, with 133-ppi and 720x480 resolution. There are multiple display modes with allow you to view one picture in full-screen mode, browse through up to 14MB of stored photos or create a slide show with up to 80 images. The frame is rechargeable and comes with a USB cable to connect it to your computer, but it also has a built-in reader for compact flash, SD, MMC and memory sticks. Price: $249.95.
