She often has company in her house, and by "often" I mean just about every day and sometimes people stay for days/weeks/months as they just can't turn away a person in need.
She doesn't have a ton of space on her walls for photos, but what she does have, she likes to keep current and show off her only granddaughter.
Enter: my brilliant idea for her birthday gift.
We got her this digital photo frame:
There's almost nothing to using it, which is great because she's not really into learning a bunch of techie stuff.
All you do is pop in your SD card and it will show everything on it however you decide to view it. You can have groups of thumbnails, you can zoom, you can set it to stay on one photo, or you can create a slide show...and you can do all of this from a little remote control that's about the size of an iPod Nano.
You can transfer stuff directly from your pc, if you'd like...but I'm keeping it as simple as I can to tell her how to use it so she doesn't get frustrated with it.
...And that would be: Take the card out of your camera, pop it into the side of the frame, and click "auto play" on the remote control.
I think she's gonna like it!

I have one of these on my desk and love it. I though about one for my parents but ditched the idea, they aren't the type that would update it and I didn't want to be the one who was tethered to it.
Got one for my Mom as well. She called so proudly one day to say she uploaded some pictures from her camera - all by herself!
Awesome, RW!
When I got up this morning, my mom was in the kitchen fiddling with that frame and had a big smile on her face from setting it all up and getting a slide show going all on her own. Yay, mom! :D
