New types of consumer electronics often begin as popular gifts before they become big hits with buyers. Cool new gadgets can make great gifts for family and friends before they are 'discovered' by the masses. When it comes to digital photo frames, this trend is no different and there are a variety of market studies and research statistics as to how many digital photo frames have been purchased as gifts versus for personal use.

Why are digital picture frames such great gifts? One reason is because they are easy to personalize! In fact, they are all about personalization in that they are meant to hold your personal content in the form of digital pictures, and in some cases video and music. So buying a digital frame as a gift is a great opportunity to not just buy someone a cool gadget, but if you load it up with a bunch of pictures they can relate to, then its also a personalized gift with memories, scenes, or images that you both share in common.

With Mother's Day approaching, those seeking something new and hip for Mom might consider a digital LCD frame.

For Mom, get her one of these cool new devices, load it up with pictures, past or present, and watch her light up with enjoyment. Even if she's not a techno Mom, digital frames can be virtually put on autopilot. They run continuos slideshows on their own and many have auto on/off features so it will be effortless for her to set-up.

If you want to really excite Mom, get her a wireless digital frame that can stream photos from a Flickr account, so she'll never have a shortage of fresh pictures from you and your family. She can put it around the house, show it off to her friends, and likely be the coolest Mom in her crowd.
