The time of the year has come when everyone will be asking the same question. Yes, it will be Mother's Day this coming Sunday as Mother's Day falls on the 2nd Sunday of the month of May. The question on everyone's mind would be : What to buy for mother on this special day?
Mother, being the most important person in our lives, choosing a suitable present that will show our love towards her, is a daunting task. In the western part of the globe, gift or a flora bouquet is the tradition. Whereas in this part of the world, showing appreciation means bringing mother to a nice cosy restaurant for a hearty meal.
As for my mom, being in her eighties, she is one of those old-fashioned, conservative, give-only-and-no-take, everything-keep to herself, non-demanding type. She does not care about Mother's Day, let alone she cares about what presents she is going to get. She would be just as happy with a card and may be a phone call, as long as it is something from the heart.
For those of you who are still cracking your brains, I have a suggestion. Since a great numbers of our mothers are already turned grandmothers, I think a Digital Photo Frame would be a big hit with our mothers. You would have probably jumped up by now and thought : What? A digital gadget for the seniors to handle?
Nowadays, even the humble photo frames are turning digital. You will find in the market the High Resolution Digital Photo Frames, come in different sizes ranging from 7", 9", 10". You can display pictures either direct from whatever digital/electronic sources or from a memory card. It is an ideal way to show and share your digital photos and are packed with interesting features such as automatic slide shows, movie player and audio.
These are not complicated gadgets, trust me. My advice is, upload your family entire year's pictures onto the memory card that comes with it and unwrap the packaging and get the frame programmed, i.e. choose your slide show mode, pixelating/jigsaw effects. Make sure everything has been programmed, so that your mother can view it right away without any technical difficulties as they are not all that savvy with gadgets.
It is truly a great invention, pictures with great transitions at a turn of a button.
