I am always on the search for the perfect gift for grandparents for their birthdays. I have found once you become a grandparent they love all things that rotate around their grandchildren. As a family we are always sending photo gifts, but I found this new gadget that each of the grandparents fell in love with. It is a digital photo cube. This allows the grandparents to display many photos at one time.

In one little cube, grandparents can store over 70 digital colored photos to show off to all their friends. This cube can be set by your bedside table, displayed in the living room, or anywhere you see fit because it is relatively small and easy to move. Included with the cube is easy to use software to help you upload your photo using a USB connection that is compatible with Mac, XP, and Vista. My kid’s grandparents have them proudly displayed on their living room credenza.

I tell you; they seem to be able to come up with better and better technology on a daily basis.  My younger brother has this cool tech gadget, a DVD Recorder, and we, as a family just love it.  He’s able to not only create DVDs of our home videos but also make copies for everyone in the family.  He’s even been able to make a little sideline cash by creating wedding DVDs and such for others.

This DVD Recorder allows him to create his own DVDs and /or make copies.  Of course, there are copyright laws out there that prohibit him from legally making copies of DVDs that we buy, but creating his own is more fun anyway.  He seems to think so too.  He gave me a great DVD of pictures of my kids complete with background music for Christmas this year.  What a special gift, all because of the power of technology and this awesome gadget.
