The Amazon Big Spring Sale is turning up some thoughtful finds. One of them is the Aura digital picture frame. Certain frame styles are down to $143 from $179, saving $36 on a well-regarded digital frame. That said, we’ve seen the prices on this fluctuate quite a bit, so you should grab it at this price while you can.
How many photos are sitting on your phone right now that you never actually look at? The Aura frame gives them somewhere to live beyond your camera roll. Instead of collecting digital dust, they’re on display, updating automatically as you or your loved ones add new ones.
Setup takes just a few minutes over Wi-Fi, and adding photos from your phone through the free Aura app is straightforward. You can also invite friends and family to contribute photos directly to the frame, which is a nice touch to stay connected. There are no subscription fees either — just free unlimited cloud storage from the start.
Smart features can handle everything automatically. Photo cropping, screen brightness and auto on/off are all taken care of without you having to do a thing. The frame is also built with quality materials. And if you’re giving it to someone, comes in a gift-ready box and lets you pre-load photos, videos and a personal message before gifting.
While you’re upgrading stuff around your house, the Spring Sale has some great home and kitchen deals we’ve rounded up.

It’s practical, looks good in any room, and the fact that friends and family can contribute remotely makes it feel a little more alive than a regular picture frame. A nice pick if you’re looking for something more meaningful.
