Give Digital Photos for Valentine's Day
Carry Intimate Memories on a Keychain Digital Photo Frame
Feb 1, 2009
Shared memories are part of what makes a relationship special, and photos are a way of preserving those memories. A digital photo frame filled with special photos makes a great personalized gift, and a keychain digital photo viewer is portable version that can be taken along wherever your Valentine goes. Simply upload photos, gift-wrap the photo frame, and give.
There are even heart-shaped keychain digital photo viewers that are especially suitable for Valentine's day gifts.
"For a...unique twist," suggests Cherie Burbach in Personalized Valentines Day Gift Ideas, "type out lines of your favorite poem to include as one of the 'slides' of the frame. Simply type your message into a photo editor, save the file, and upload to the frame". This will work best for larger digital photo frames, but a short message of a few words in a clear font is legible on a 1.5" screen, as shown in the photo at the bottom of this article.
Some of the higher-end digital picture frames have the ability to record a favorite song or voice message. Though keychain versions do not commonly support sound files, if one is available with this capacity, by all means use it.
Costs for Valentine's Day Digital Photo Keychains
The cost of the rectangular 1.5" digital photo keyrings ranges from around $80 for top models (Coby and others) to as low as $5 for no-name Valentine specials. The average price is between $15 and $30 for good quality units. The heart-shaped units usually cost between $10 and $30. They usually have a smaller display, a 1.1" LCD screen that may have lower display quality, but they're still a fun and loving gift.
What to Put on a Valentine's Day Photo Frame
The photo frame valentine's day gift could include photos of
- Yourself, of course, in various outfits and poses
- Favorite places with shared special memories
- Shots of yourself and your partner taken by others
- Group shots of you both with friends - memories of good times with the gang
- Photos from shared events that will bring back sweet memories
Any photo that has meaning to the two of you, or that would remind your partner of you or of your relationship would be a good one to include. But remember, there is a limit to how many photos can be packed into the little keychain photo frame, so be selective.
Intimate Photos on a Digital Photo Frame Gift? Proceed with Caution.
One benefit of digital photo technology is that it's easy to take private intimate photos, and the results can be both sexy and fun. Just how intimate the Valentine's Day photo frame gift is will depend on your relationship and the amount of trust between you and your partner.
If you know your significant other is apt to share the photos with his or her friends, you will want to think long and hard about the intimacy level of the photos you upload to a portable digital photo frame. Consider such points as these:
- What will become of the photos if the relationship ends, and especially if the end is bitter and angry?
- Will you be comfortable knowing that the photos might be seen by others?
- Would you want those photos passed around by email or sent from one cell phone to another or even posted on the Internet?
If those possibilities sit okay, and especially if it's a good, solid relationship with a high level of trust, by all means add a few provocative shots for a touch of spice. How hot the spice is will be up to you!
Say "I Love You" on Valentine's Day
February 14 is a convenient time of year that reminds lovers to say "I love you" A card will be read and either tucked away or discarded. Candy will be eaten and forgotten. Flowers will be treasured until they wilt. A romantic evening out will be cherished and remembered. But take a picture of the card, the candy, the flowers, the Valentine couple at the restaurant, and you have lasting memories.
Valentine's Day will come and go, but a digital picture keyring is a gift that that will keep saying "Remember this?" all year long.
