A picture perfect gift this Mother's Day

I'll be the first to admit. As much as I'm a geek with electronic gadgets, buying my mother tech stuff hasn't always been the most brilliant of my ideas in the past. The last time I got her a digital camera, it took me a month convincing her to get started on it. That didn't even begin to include the numerous hours clocked teaching her how to operate the camera. So if you really must get your Luddite mum something tech, try simple. Like a digital photo frame. Most frames are easy to operate and require almost no intervention from the user. Best of all, it's a great way to display all those Kodak family moments and unforgettable vacation shots.

But don't just settle for any old digital photo frames. I like Viewsonic's new 7-inch DPX704WH digital photo frame (S$239 (US$157.24)) as it supports image, music and video playback, comes with a flash memory card slot, a remote control as well as clock/alarm/calendar functions. But the bonus to it is that for a brief month during this Mother's Day, Singapore customers get a free Swarovski Crystal Wrap to add some feminine sparkle to the frame. And who knows? Mum may just give that camera a second chance, just so to show off those snaps on the digital photo frame.
