![]() ![]() Digital photo frames are an incredible addition-not replacement-to print photos. They’re beautiful and polished, but they’re best when paired with other physical prints, too. The magic of a Wi-Fi enabled digital photo frame like the Aura Carver, if you ask me, is exactly in the fact that these frames are different from wall art and other decor. So why buy a digital photo frame like the Aura? It can’t create the welcoming feeling of a wall collage that leads up the staircase, or the natural aesthetic of a stained wood picture rail.

There are tons of products that are designed to be gifted, and dozens that I’ve reviewed as such, but I’ve never seen a company pull it off this well before. Isn’t that rad?
