Even if our gadgets (including our digital photo frames) have the capacity to store thousands of photos and videos, printed photos just never fail to elicit warm, fuzzy feelings that just couldn’t be replicated easily. Whether it’s a blown-up image of your wedding photo or your dog’s grinning face printed on a mug, these mementos can always make their owners pause, smile, and reminisce.
Printed photos are also thoughtful gifts that will be appreciated by everybody. Looking for a gift for friends who just got married? Beautifully printed photos from their honeymoon trip would be the perfect addition to their home. Want to give your significant other a precious gift to mark a relationship milestone?

The dawn of a new year heralds a new opportunity to revamp your life. 2020 is extra special because it’s not just a new year, but a new decade. Make it your best one yet with these simple resolutions:
Mind Your Spending
It’s hard to resist the call of the Sale sign, but really, do you need another bag or another pair of shoes? (You probably don’t). This year, make it a habit to track your spending to avoid needless purchases. Download a spending tracker and religiously record all your expenses and income. When all your expenses are on record, it would be easier for you to resist the temptation to buy things impulsively.
Pay Attention To Your Health
You can make more money, but you only have one life to live–and you’ve got to make sure that it’s one well lived. Don’t neglect your health: be mindful of what you’re eating, make sure to exercise, and don’t stress over the small stuff. Remember: you may have all the money in the world, but you can’t take even a single cent with you to the grave.
Treasure Your Loved Ones
If you’ve had a loved one pass away, you’ve probably wished you’ve told them just how much they meant to you before it became too late. That’s why you should make it a point to make your nearest and dearest feel loved. You don’t need grand gestures: Even simple things, like calling your parents every few days and saying “I love you” to your family every day, go a long way.
Enjoy The Little Things
With everything going on in the world, it’s never been more important to take care of yourself. Set aside time each day to relax and thank the universe for all your blessings. Put on a face mask, pour yourself a glass of wine, dive into your favorite Netflix series, or catch up on sleep. You’ll thank yourself later.
Take More Pictures
Life is short, so capture every moment! Don’t be shy to take out your camera to snap pictures of events both memorable and mundane. This way, you’ll have lots of memories to look back at in the future.
One more thing: Don’t let your photos remain hidden in your hard drive. After all, what’s the use of taking pictures when you won’t even look at them? Display your photos on a Nixplay Frame so you can enjoy them at all times. Take advantage of our New Year Sale to get the frame you’ve been eyeing at an irresistible price!

Your Christmas tree is up, the lights are brightening up your home, and every other decoration is out. However, there’s one last thing you need to host your Christmas parties and gatherings, and that’s the perfect Christmas playlist. Here are some songs you can add to your playlist!
Christmas Songs For Your Holiday Playlist
“All I Want For Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey
One of the most well-known holiday songs of all time, Mariah Carey–the modern queen of Christmas–continues to top the list of top Christmas songs with this hit. It really resonates with everyone because as we get older, we realize that Christmas isn’t about the number of gifts under the tree, but the amount of love you receive. This song’s lyrics are tailored to those who simply want to be with someone this holiday season, and that’s why it deserces to be on every Christmas playlist.
“It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year” – Andy Williams
Christmas time really is the most wonderful time of the year, and this classic Christmas song will keep your holiday spirits high and remind you of how wonderful and beautiful this time of year is. From caroling in the snow to parties with your family, there’s so much to be grateful for.
“Last Christmas” – Wham!
It’s the holiday song for the heartbroken, with its vintage synths and wistful whispers. But this song’s catchy melody makes it one of the best Christmas songs that everyone–regardless of your heart’s state–can sing in karaoke (or in the shower). Fun fact: It was released in 1984, but believe it or not, it didn’t top the charts until 2017!
“Santa Claus is Coming to Town” – Jackson 5
Almost every artist has a version of this song, but Michael and the gang’s rendition is the catchiest, and grooviest of them all. Creepy lyrics aside (“he sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake”), it’s a great reminder for kids and kids are heart to be good all year round.
“Happy Xmas (War is Over)” – John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Protests aren’t always won through violence–sometimes, a bit of holiday cheer really helps to make the message resonate. “War is over,” sing a choir of children in this Lennon classic, but only, they add, “If you want it.” With all the chaos happening around the world, a bit of peace is certainly the best Christmas gift.
Now that your holiday playlist is ready, it’s time to party! Don’t forget to capture your celebrations’ best moments, and display them on a Nixplay Frame. Take advantage of our Christmas Sale and get up to 30% off on our bestselling frames, only until December 16!

This festive season, make memories with the whole family and treat a loved one to a techy Christmas gift they’ll love. Create and savor your most treasured family moments using these must-have high-tech Christmas gifts. Trust us, there’s something suited for every member of the family. Read on for cool technology gift inspiration!
A Digital Camera
With all of the digital cameras on offer these days, there are plenty of options to choose from. If you’re buying a camera for a photography novice, keep it simple with a point-and-shoot camera. Try the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II, or the Canon PowerShot ELPH 180 for a more affordable option. If the recipient has a little more experience, a more complex camera with additional lenses and attachments to help capture the best image possible may be preferable. Look for DSLR camera bundles that offer a wide range of accessories and equipment, as well as the main camera body.
A compact digital camera is the ideal travel companion to take with you wherever you go, letting you capture the moments as you experience them. Better yet, display those beautiful memories on a Nixplay digital photo frame, for the whole family to see.
A GoPro Action Camera
Relive the memories with a selection of homemade family movies taken on a GoPro. A versatile camera that comes with the ability to withstand depths of up to 130 feet underwater (using the waterproof housing provided), it’s virtually indestructible–perfect for any budding adventurer! Using the GoPro app, you can download and edit images straight from your phone to share with your loved ones.
Out exploring without your family? Take your GoPro with you, film your experiences, transfer the clips to your phone, then forward them onto your Nixplay Smart Frame at home with the family using Wi-Fi.
A Virtual Reality Headset
Create fun memories with a virtual reality headset, the perfect Christmas gift for a tech lover. You don’t have to be a gamer to enjoy it–the whole family could immerse themselves into virtual reality and interact with a 3D world. Pick up a VR headset for your PC, PlayStation or smartphone, or opt for a standalone if you don’t already own a compatible device. With several family-friendly games available to buy, a VR headset is something that everyone can enjoy. From carnival games to quiz tournaments, treat yourselves to some family fun this Christmas!
Virtual Home Assistant
From a Google Speaker to the Amazon Echo, there’s a virtual assistant out there for every family home–including more affordable options, like the Google Home Mini. This is a gift that the whole family can enjoy, together. A virtual home assistant can do everything from answering trivial questions, to telling jokes, and even rapping. You can also control several items at home, including lights, door locks, and other smart home devices with just the sound of your voice. Introduce your virtual assistant to your child’s bedtime routine and have them ask it to tell them a bedtime story–it’s something they’ll enjoy doing and it’ll also give you some time off! Better yet, ask it to help you manage your Nixplay Frame by turning it on and off and displaying the playlists you want to see.
Digital Photo Frame
Display all your family memories on a digital photo frame from Nixplay. It’s very easy to use and is the ideal gift for any tech-savvy family member or friend. Enjoy your family photos and videos on a high-definition display with a sleek and modern finish that makes it the perfect addition to any home. And with one tree seed being planted for every smart frame sold, there couldn’t be a better Christmas present to gift a loved one this year.

Digital Gift Cards
