You try to make room on the couch for everyone to sit around and look through the album.

You may store all your pictures on your computer, taking up much need space and slowing down your computer. Then you may send some to friends and family in emails, which is great, but what to do with them then!

Digital Photo Frame Market

Digital photo frames have had a very good market in the past 2 years, especially the 7” LCD. Many people like the 7” digital picture frames for the functionality as well as the price.

Before 2006, digital photo frames were just a niche product that cost several hundred dollars. Since then manufacturers in China got into the market and the price has dropped significantly. Now digital photo frames are a mass consumer product that anyone can afford.

There are many good manufacturers, Sony, Sylvania, Canon, Nikon, etc. They can range anywhere from $30.00 to several hundred dollars and from key chain size, which stores about 30 pictures, up to the newest at about 15” which can stores 1,000 pictures.

You also want to consider the frame as you choose. You will find many different colors to choose from. Think about where this person is probably going to put this frame. Are they going to put it on their desk at work, if so, you would want to choose a smaller size. Will they put it on a table in their living room or hang it on a wall. There are those that plug in and those that work off of batteries.

My husband bought a 10" digital photo frame for me, last year for Christmas. I was so excited! I immediately began loading all my favorite pics on the flash card and plugged it in. Now I can enjoy all my favorite pictures anytime and I don't have to ask if anyone wants to look at my pictures, they are running as a slide show on my living room table all the time!

I hope I have given you some useful information that will help you choose a great gift for someone special. Simply try to choose the digital photo frame that fits the personality of the person you are buying for and that is within your price range. There will be many to choose from and I'm sure, which ever one you choose, it will make a great gift for any occasion!
