Aura’s digital frames function as evolving photo albums that grow richer over time, making them a frequent recommendation for Mother’s Day gifting. These connected displays offer lasting value, and right now, several Aura models are discounted ahead of the holiday. The standout offer is on the Aura Aspen, now priced at $199 , a $30 savings that matches its lowest price ever. You can grab this deal from Amazon, Best Buy, or directly from Aura.

While you can preload the 12-inch LCD frame with pictures before it arrives, the Aspen’s true appeal lies in its ability to receive new images from loved ones anywhere in the world via the Aura app or even by text message. It supports Live Photos and can play 30-second video clips, adding a personal dimension that traditional frames and albums lack. You can also attach captions to each image for extra context.

Managing and displaying these memories is straightforward. The frame offers adjustable slideshow speeds, automatic brightness that adjusts to the room’s lighting, and an in-app scanner to digitize old printed photos. There are no subscription fees, so you can upload an unlimited number of photos through the Aura app or sync albums from iCloud, Google Photos, and other cloud services.

Despite its smart features, the Aspen maintains the look and feel of a classic picture frame, complete with an adjustable metal stand. Its antiglare, paper-like display gives photos a more lifelike appearance, and you can choose between landscape or portrait orientation. The 1600 x 1200 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio align with most smartphone photos, ensuring images fill the screen without awkward cropping.

Other Aura models are also on sale this weekend, offering additional options for those seeking a connected frame.
