Unique Father’s Day Gift Ideas Dad Will Love

By Beatrice Bisais

In Gifting Guides

This Father’s Day, don’t get your dad or your hubby that same old tie. Surprise him with unique gift ideas that are anything but boring!

Say It with Food

Bake a plate of homemade cookies, or his favorite pie. Make a fancy dinner, and end with a delightful dessert. Surprise him with a homemade lunch at the office, or wake him up with breakfast in bed. If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then you’ll be golden with any of these heartfelt, stomach-pleasing gifts.

Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frames

Whether you choose the Nixplay Seed, or Nixplay Edge, you’ll be showing him how much you appreciate him in a special way. Select your favorite images of those meaningful Dad moments, and send them instantly to his frame for a slideshow that will tug at his heartstrings. Not only is it the perfect sentimental gift, but you can also easily update these images anytime. Want to make it even more special? You can even add captions.

NIX Digital Frames

With a USB or SD/SDHC Card, you can upload treasured photos to this frame that’s sure to wow. Include images of special occasions, milestones, or any family moments he remembers fondly. Every time he catches a glimpse of your thoughtful gift, he’ll be reminded of your love.

Your Own Backyard

When was the last time he did something different in his very own town or city? Is there an area winery? What about a local chocolate shop, or theater? Chances are, you won’t have to go very far to find something new and exciting. Surprise him with a night out that’s close to home, yet no less fun. For an added bonus, get him a Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame, and upload images from Dad’s night out!

Write It Down

Often, it’s the little things that mean the most. If you’ve never been one to write things down, a heartfelt note can make all the difference. Let him know how much you care. Share things about him that make you smile. Recount a favorite memory. If the thought of writing a long letter seems overwhelming, what about hiding an assortment of little notes in places he’s sure to find?

Must Love Books

Finding that first edition of a favorite novel can make a bookworm’s day. It could also be a book from a beloved author, or a childhood favorite that’s long lost. Wrap it up, and watch his eyes light up when he sees all the trouble you’ve gone to, to show him how much you care.

Father’s Day Done Right

Mix and match the ideas above to create unique gifts for Dad that fit each of the fathers in your life. Let Dad know how much you appreciate him with a gift from the heart – and no matter what experiences you pair with it, a Nixplay Digital Frame is the perfect way to make the memories last all year long.

Unique Proposal Ideas with Nixplay Frames

If you want to show off photos from your trip to Aruba, your brother’s graduation, or your toddler’s first day of school, Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frames are a great choice. These frames can highlight treasured moments spent with family, friends, and the pets too! Whether you are at home, or at the office, you can always be surrounded by the good times you’ve had, and the special occasions you’ve all shared.

But, did you know that your Nixplay frames can also help with your wedding proposal?

How to Propose with Nixplay

A Global Proposal

By using Nixplay Seed, the photo frame that enables users to instantly upload images from anywhere in the world, you can invite select friends and family to send pictures right to this product. Do they have pictures from when your potential spouse was dressed up in a tux or dress, playing pretend as a kid? Holding a bouquet? Dancing? Ask family and friends to look for pictures with a wedding theme, and bring them all together on the Nixplay Seed. You know your significant other notices everything. When she or he stops to look at these images, get ready with the ring.

Silly Side

Remember that day you two had a caricature done? Hilarious, right? Use it. Write “will you marry me” across the top. Take a pic and upload it to your frame. Let your potential spouse know what you love about them, and pop the question after she or he has finally noticed this new addition. Maybe include something in your proposal about how much you love that you can both be silly and have fun together—and that you’d like to make that permanent.

A Photo Surprise

Surprise your loved one with a NIX digital photo frame. Tell him or her that you have already added some of your favorite images. Make sure the pictures are of special times you’ve shared that span across the entirety of your relationship. It’s fun to include early photos, especially if you have been together for a long period of time. After the last image is complete, suggest snapping a photo of the two of you right now. Afterward, tell your sweetheart that you wanted to capture that moment, because (get down on one knee), this is your proposal.

Show and Tell

Get dressed up. Make a sign that reads, “Will you marry me?” Have a friend snap a photo while you are holding it (you don’t want any selfies for this one). Then, go through your frame and place only images of you and your sweetie on the device. The final image should be the proposal. Casually mention that you’ve updated the frame, and wait for the perfect moment to pop the question.

Sharing the Joy

Your favorite images are always nearby with Nixplay. From the proposal to the wedding, and for the memories that will last a lifetime, let Nixplay share the story.

4 Ways To Congratulate Your New Grad

By Beatrice Bisais

On May 24, 2016

In Special Moments

Graduation season is a time that many high school and college seniors look forward to, and not just because they won’t have to attend a single class again. They look forward to the multitude of congratulatory presents and praise that awaits them. Whether you’re a family member or friend, it won’t be hard to find a great gift that will let the graduate in your life know how happy and proud you are of this accomplishment.

Since graduation marks a new chapter in a graduate’s life, it is best to think of potential gifts that will help them in their journey towards a higher education or employment. We have come up with a short list of useful gifts that any graduate would love.

A sturdy leather messenger bag

Your graduate will find this very useful when he or she is going off to college or job interviews. Leather not only looks great, but it’s also durable enough to hold school essentials, like a laptop or heavy books. For college grads, a leather bag goes well with any office wear, and can also keep their work computer and documents neat and tidy when they’re out and about.

A digital photo frame

For high school grads who are going to attend an out-of-state university, living away from home can be an exciting, but also nerve-racking prospect. No matter how much they crave this “moment of freedom,” homesickness can strike at any time. During these homesick moments, looking at photos of loved ones can help get them out of their lonely funk. A digital photo frame like the NIX Digital Frame is the perfect gift for your photo-obsessed graduate, because he or she can use it to quickly view endless pictures of family and friends. Even better, purchase a Nixplay Wi-Fi Cloud Frame that lets them see cloud-stored photos from their nightstand.

A cookbook of simple recipes

It’s no secret that college students and young professionals usually stretch their tiny budgets at the expense of their meals. If your graduate didn’t pick up your cooking skills, it would be a good idea to give him or her an excellent cookbook with recipes that are not only delicious, but also economical and relatively easy to follow. They will love you for giving them more food options than Top Ramen, instant mac and cheese, and frozen pizza.

Gift Cards

The reality is that new graduates are short on funds more frequently than they (and their parents) wish they were. If you want to help them during these moments without having to give them cold hard cash, gift cards are another great option. For instance, an Amazon gift card can get them groceries or even new clothes for work. There are so many other types of gift cards that you can give to your graduate, depending on what he or she likes. Restaurant and spa gift cards are also excellent choices any graduate would love.

Although this is a fairly short list of valuable, memorable gift ideas for graduates, there is a wide variety of choices out there. All of the items above are readily available online or at retail stores. And if you are looking to get a digital photo frame, you can visit the Nixplay website and browse our many models today.

Some of us like to get out and find adventure – whether that’s on the road, in the mountains, or wherever our wandering takes us. Some people just have a thirst for adventure, and they can’t find it at home on the couch. Nothing against those who prefer the couch; it’s a pretty comfortable place to be. Besides, who else is going to check out all the cool photos that the adventurer takes along his or her travels? Someone has to hold down the fort and hit “like” each time a new photo album of the American Southwest pops up on Facebook.

But what if there was a better way for adventurers to share their photos with their loved ones back home? Something more personal than social media, but still high-tech and operable with the latest innovations?

For those of us who enjoy travel and photography, the Nixplay Seed WiFi Cloud Frame is the perfect addition to any adventurer’s tools. Not because it helps you climb a mountain, but because it helps you share the view to everyone back home. With our free Nixplay Mobile app, you can snap, share, and display your experiences on the frames of your loved ones as you journey along.

And don’t worry that your photos won’t do justice to that majestic view, because the Nixplay Seed has a beautiful high-resolution IPS display that allows photos to be enjoyed in amazing color and clarity. Phones are great, but you really don’t want your photos shrunk onto that tiny screen. After all, what good would it be to send off a batch of photos if they can’t even see the distant peaks on the horizon?

The Nixplay Seed frames come in 3 different sizes, so can get the perfect one for yourself or your loved ones. It also employs power saving technology, turning on when someone enters a room, and turning off when they leave. So you can rest easy knowing that your digital frame is doing its part to help conserve the environment.

So what are you waiting for? Pick up a Nixplay digital photo frame today, and get out on that adventure you’ve been planning. Just don’t forget to send home lots of photos, or Mom isn’t going to be very happy with you.

Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frames – Changing The Way Your Family Stays In Touch

By Beatrice Bisais

On May 18, 2016

In Photography

Mother’s Day was Sunday, and, if you’re lucky enough to live within traveling distance of your mom, you probably took a few pictures together. And why not? Photos are the best way to capture moments and make them last a lifetime. Your mom might take that photo and get it framed, or she might put it up on Facebook for friends and family to see, or maybe she’ll do both. Sharing photos has always been an important way to stay connected, and with the advent of the Internet and social media, it’s become easier than ever.

But what if you couldn’t make it home for Mother’s Day this year? And what if circumstances are such that it’s just not feasible for you to make it out for a visit with any kind of regularity? Your mother would love to see you, your significant other, or maybe the grandkids she’s been missing. If you can’t be there in person,why not, send her a Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame instead?

With Wifi Cloud Frames from Nixplay, you have the ability to take pictures – to instantly send and display them on the Nixplay frame at your mom’s house, without printing, or any other hassle. Using the Nixplay app, it’s as easy as snap, send, display, and you can even put captions on the photo for Mom to read.

This means that next Mother’s Day, you can send family pictures to your mom’s Nixplay frame, and she can view them one by one in a slideshow – the next best thing to actually being there with her.

But it’s not just Mother’s Day that brings families together. Think of all the holidays, special events, and milestones in life when you take photos of your family. Are they really better off placed in a photo album, or shared once on social media, and then forgotten? Instead, send them to your mom’s WiFi Cloud Frame for continual display all year long. Or better yet, send them to all of your family members’ WiFi Cloud Frames. Does your brother want to see how much your kids have grown? Send a succession of photos to his Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame and let him see for himself.

WiFi Cloud Frames change the way your family keeps in touch, because they allow instant sharing no matter the distance. And sharing on Facebook is inherently impersonal; the photo is going to hundreds or even thousands of “friends” online. But when you share photos on a Nixplay Wifi Cloud Frame, you know they’re going to the people who want to see them most, and they’ll be displayed on a high resolution screen.

So try a Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame today. They’re fantastic gifts for a close-knit family that just happens to live in different states. Contact us or check out our line of WiFi Cloud Frames today.
