I spent the whole weekend doing Christmas shopping. Thank God I have a toddler who enjoys shopping as much as I do! I hit all the major departmental stores, discount stores, you name it. One thing I do enjoy doing while shopping is to also see what other people are getting as Christmas presents. One of the “in” things this season seems to be digital photo frames. I guess it is because they make relatively inexpensive gifts for just about anyone you know.

Digital photo frames have really changed the way how people view photos these days. Now, all your wonderful snapshots can be constantly displayed in all areas of your home or office in a stylish digital photo frame. Instead of having fifty different photo frames, you only need one! Talk about saving space.  You can even set the period of time you want your pictures to be displayed and also the transitions that you prefer between these pictures.

For more portable options, you can also go for a digital photo keychain or digital photo wallet.

But my personal favorite for this holiday season is the digital photo ornament. So cute!! Many of these ornaments can store over 50 photos that you can display as a slideshow or individual stills on the Christmas ornament’s miniature LCD screen. All you need to do is to install a tiny piece of software on your computer that will resize copies of your photos and transfer them to the ornament via a USB cable that is included.

The image quality of these pics on the ornament are not the same as what you would get on your high definition TV or computer. They look more like pictures taken using a cell phone camera. But they still look pretty decent considering that it’s an ornament. Just remember that the ornament is not to replace real photos  but it will look SO cool on your Christmas tree this year or those loved ones who are lucky enough to receive one from you!
