Holiday Gift Guide: Choosing the Right Digital Frame for Everyone on Your Family’s Gift List
By: The Nixplay Team
The holidays will be here before we know it, which means it’s time to start pulling together your gift list.
While it can be fun to give your loved ones the latest gadget, toy, or video game, these things lose value with time. Why not give your friends and family something that brings you closer – something that helps you connect with each other?
That’s what a digital frame can do. If you’re having trouble deciding which frame to get, here’s a guide to help you out.
The dedicated parent or grandparent
Choose: The Nixplay Iris
These enthusiastically family-oriented people need a frame that they’ll love to display at home or in the office. Their family is their life, after all, and they want to share the images of the ones they love with everyone who comes to visit.
With its stunning silk-metal finish and sleek design, this WiFi photo frame brings a contemporary twist to the traditional picture frame which makes it perfect for the home or office.
The Nixplay Iris also features an ambient light sensor so it can adjust the display to fit the lighting in a room, and a motion sensor that tells the frame to wake up when someone enters the room, and go to sleep when they leave.
The traveler and adventurer
Choose: The Nixplay Seed
A bold explorer needs a bold frame – one they can take along on all their adventures without worrying about packing bulky cables, extra batteries, or easy-to-lose SD cards. They also need WiFi connectivity, so they can send and receive pictures from friends and family no matter where on the globe they are.
That’s why the colorful Nixplay Seed is a great choice. With a choice of blue, yellow, or burgundy, you’ll be able to find a perfect color for your own adventurer. Travelers can use the Nixplay app to connect to their social media profiles, too, so they can pull those perfect Instagram shots into their digital frame playlists.
The executive or business traveler
Choose: The Nixplay Iris
Busy executives and business travelers have a special need to feel connected to the ones they love – especially when they’re having to miss important moments like the school play, or the Little League championship game.
They also need a stylish frame that won’t look out of place in the corner office or their hotel suite. While they’re on the road, family members can send them images from the day via the Nixplay app, making for a fun visual surprise when they get back to the hotel.
The Nixplay Iris’s light and motion sensors give it excellent battery life, so that road-weary executives can come back to their latest photos going no matter how many meetings they had to get through that day.
The urbanite
Choose: The Nixplay Seed or the Nixplay Iris
These trendy, culture-loving city dwellers need a frame where they can display their latest selfies, vacation pictures, and Friendsgiving shots – not to mention the images of their closest friends and family.
Depending on their style, the Nixplay Seed or the Nixplay Iris would be a good choice. The Nixplay Seed can fit perfectly into more eclectic home decor, while the Nixplay Iris would look beautiful in a modern or contemporary home.
The soon-to-be graduate
Choose: The Nixplay Edge
Your soon-to-be graduate is in the thick of enjoying that final year, be it high school or college, and they need a simple, slim frame to show off the fun they’re having.
The ability to connect to social media is of prime importance for these young people, so you absolutely want a frame with WiFi connectivity. The Nixplay Edge is a low-profile frame that will fit easily into any bedroom, dorm, or apartment decor, while allowing your graduate to display their best Facebook photos to the world.
