Everyone loves photos. And with the digital age it is easier than ever to take a lot (sometimes too many) photos. What do we do with them then? They go on Facebook, Flickr, Myspace. But do we take the time to get them to the people that really want to see them? Sure, you can email Grandma some pics and talk her through how to access them on the phone. 🙂 Or, you can order prints via the web and have someone in another town pic them up. But, then the photos either stay on their computer, or couped up in an album. But of course we want our loved ones to always see our faces. HA HA! They need to be reminded of what the working for/living for/fighting for… you get the point. 🙂
Enter Ceiva. There are a few other photo frames on the market, but this one is unique. It comes with interchangeable covers to make your Ceiva match your decor, mood, or the season. And getting photos on to them is easy. It’s wireless or by modem (but who still uses that? :)). You can send photos to your Ceiva account and in little to no time, they are on the digital frame.
When it arrives, you can do the initial setup and load it up with a few pics. And if you know the info, I would suggest plugging in the info for your loved ones wireless network so that they won’t have to do it. Once they have it setup, and you tell them that new photos are ready to go, with a couple of button pushes on their end, they will have them on their frame in moments.
I received one for review and I LOVE it. I loaded it up with photos of the past year. It really is much better than having to instruct someone to naviage a computer or website to view photos. Â It’s a great way to make sure that they are always thinking about you.
