When you ask us Mothers, what we want for Mother’s Day, you will often just hear a lie in and a home made card. Truth be told, it can be really hard to find an appropriate mothers day gift, but I think I have found it with The Nixplay Iris Photo Frame.
We have had a digital photo frame before, bit wow the technology has really moved on and the Nixplay Iris Wifi Cloud Frame is amazing. Basically, it means that you can upload photo’s directly to the frame on wifi over the cloud from your computer, phone or tablet and from apps such as facebook and Instagram.
The 8inch silver silk metal finish frame we received is really well made and designed and looks great in our room. The photo’s really pop on the high-resolution display and look amazing no matter what time of the day it is as the frame comes with a light sensor that adjusts the screen brightness depending on the ambient light levels in the room ensuring that you get clear and vivid images. We uploaded pictures taken professionally, taken on my point and shoot camera and also on my phone and they all looked fabulous.
It took me all of 6 minutes to set up the photo frame. I didn’t even open up the booklet. All you need to do is plug in the frame and follow the onscreen instructions. Yes, it walks you through it all in picture and video format. This makes is ideal for any generation.
We have really benefitted from having a digital photo frame in our living room. We took 15 minutes or do to upload over 300 images to it. it is such a talking point, not just for visitors, but for us as a family too. We have been reliving memories and talking about where we were when specific images come up.
What really makes a Nixplay Iris the ability to invite family and friends to send photos directly to your frame. You can do this with the web app (above) or via an IOS or android app. We are always being asked by my in-laws for new images of the boys and the Nixplay Iris has totally solved that problem. Our plan is to give my Mother in Law the frame for Mothers Day and to upload images on to it on a regular basis. We are also going to give my Brother-in-law all the details, so he can share directly to the frame too. That way she always has up to date images of all her grandchildren. In fact, she can have up to 1100 images on the frame.
But what about turning it on and off you ask? Well no need to worry about that as you can set up a schedule and also it has an activity sensor and automatically turns on and off conserving power. I really can not find anything negative to say about this innovative photo frame. We love it.
I am delighted to have teamed up with Nixplay to giveaway a Nixplay Seed Photo frame.

I split up with my daughters dad when she was 20 months old, sadly the only photo I have of her of a baby is of her at about 4 months old, oh but what a photo! She is smiling and has a beautiful face, she is 16 now and that photo is so precious to me x
we got a couple of nice ones from Florida.
I think it has to be a photo of my dad with my son when he was just a few weeks old. My dad died shortly afterwards so it’s special for that reason.
it was after my daughters dance show, we all pulled a funny face, i love it.
My favourite family photo is us all standing in the kitchen , ones doing bunny ears behind their dads head the other two are pushing and shoving trying to get their pose right and me and their dad are just standing smiling . I feel it sometimes describes us to a T
I like my 4 generation photos of the family.
The photo of my husband and I taking my daughter home from the hospital when she was born. We both look exhausted, emotional but with huge smiles. As we had waited so many years with multiple miscarriages and fertility problems that we were dreaming of this day for so long. I still look at this picture and count my blessings everyday.
I have a lovely black and white photo taken of my dear dad holding me when I was a baby. I treasure it a lot as I don’t have a lot of photos of him and he died when I was 14.
This is such a good idea for a gift Jen – I love the idea of it x x

My fave is a picture of my little Grandson he’s my only grandchild he’s just 3 I have lots of him. He’s on the autism spectrum but he’s just so beautiful in every way.
My grandchildren all live 100+ miles away so we rarely see them all together. My favourite picture is of them all five years ago just after the youngest was born 🙂
Mine is one from when I was a kid in France, we’d been driving all day and it was about 30 degrees and everyone was in a bad mood- then we drove past a big sunflower field and my Mum got us all out for a photo – it is a classic as we are all lined up with the grumpiest looks on our faces except for my Mum on the end with a big beaming smile! It always makes us laugh
