My mom lives over a thousand miles away and asks for more photos of her granddaughter at least once a week. Texting them one by one works — until I forget. That's why the YunQiDeer Frameo 10.1-inch WiFi Digital Picture Frame has become the ultimate Mother's Day gift. With a free app (no subscriptions, ever), I can send photos and short videos straight to her frame in seconds. Better yet, it's just $50 right now — nearly 45% off.
(Need some more ideas on what to give your mom? Whether you're looking for an inexpensive gift under $50, want to surprise your mom with an unforgettable experience or you're just trying to avoid a Mother's Day gifting faux pas, we've got you covered.)
At $50, the Frameo is just shy of its lowest price ever. When you consider that most other digital picture frames still hover between $60 and $70 on sale, this one's a steal. Plus, with its user-friendly features, you're getting serious bang for your buck.
If your idea of digital photo frames is stuck in the past, it's time to catch up. The Frameo is miles ahead of those clunky models from a decade ago, with way more features and a far easier setup. No need for cables — you can send photos and up to 15-second videos from anywhere, thanks to the free app. The 1280x800 high-definition display makes everything look crisp, whether it's a smile, a messy face or a dance party in the living room.
With 16GB of built-in storage (expandable to 32GB via microSD), it holds thousands of pictures and videos. Plus, it looks sharp from almost any angle with a 178-degree viewing range — none of that washed-out nonsense. It won't matter whether the image is portrait or landscape, either. Frameo automatically rotates images to the correct position.
On top of that, you can zoom in, add captions, adjust brightness and more. It's fully customizable, making it a perfect way to keep your favorite moments on display. We're all taking more pictures than ever, so why not showcase them in style?
Yahoo Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida tested the Frameo, and it cracked his list of the best digital photo frames of 2025. "I was pleased to find a complete, informative instruction manual in the box," he said of setting up this gadget. "And it's not just for the frame; it also focuses on the Frameo companion app, which is used to upload photos. ... I like that it can do two important things that some more expensive frames can't: Auto-size photos (either globally or individually) and export all your photos to external storage. All told, I'm pretty impressed by what you get for the money here."
With over 1,800 five-star ratings, the Frameo is a popular gadget — and it's so very giftable.
"I got my mom a Frameo, and it has been a game changer," wrote one five-star fan and thoughtful child. "I couldn't resist getting one for myself ... The app works seamlessly, allowing me to send photos to my mom's frame and upload countless pictures to my own. It's such a thoughtful way to stay connected with loved ones. .... The setup process was a breeze."
And don't let geography get in the way of your getting this frame. This dutiful daughter didn't: "I got this for my parents when I moved out of state. Easy enough to set up on the phone with them. Easy to send photos too. You can delete old ones from your app so they just have to sit back and enjoy the photos."
There's even a social aspect to the frame. "You can interact with images and videos that are sent to you by touching the screen and adding emojis back to the sender. So fun!" one fan said.
The design could still use a bit of work, says this reviewer: "It must be plugged in (as I would expect); however, the cord isn't very long and the plug that goes into the outlet is big and bulky."
Another shopper said they wished it could go cordless altogether. "I wouldn't mind if it took batteries so I could place it anywhere."
