Aura digital frames are like living albums that get better over time, which is why we recommend them so often on Mother’s Day. It’s the gifts that keep on giving, in one way or another, and right now, several connected Aura frames. are being sold before the holidays. One of the best practices is on Aura Aspenavailable for $199 ($30 off) from Amazon, Best Buyand Auraequal to its normal low.

While you can also load the Aura’s 12-inch LCD screen with photos before it arrives, what makes Aspen unique is that fans around the world can add new photos to the screen using the Aura app (or via text message). It also supports Live Photos and can play 30-second videos – giving a personal touch that traditional frames and albums can’t provide – and lets you add captions to each photo.

The digital camera was designed to make it easy to display and manage those memories, too. It has adjustable display speed, automatic lighting that adapts to the room, and an in-app scanner that lets you upload old photos that have been digitally printed. There are also no subscription fees, meaning you can upload unlimited photos through the Aura app or sync albums from iCloud, Google Photos, and other cloud services.

Despite its connected performance, the Aspen still looks and feels like a traditional icon, complete with flexible metal. The antiglare, paper-like display makes photos look great, and you can display photos in landscape or portrait mode. It has a 1600 x 1200 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio similar to most smartphone images, too, so images fill the screen naturally without harsh cropping.
