I don’t care how precious your kid is. Whether his name is Trig or Chainsaw or Thornbush, it doesn’t warrant a $300 picture frame. Sony thinks that it can get away selling the new CP1 digital photo frame with WiFi for that absurd price. Why?

Well despite the fact that it has a 7″ screen with 16 million colors and a resolution of 800 x 480, it’s still overpriced. I don’t care if it gets your Picasa photos and accepts a slew of memory cards. With only 128MB in internal storage, it just simply isn’t worth it. Build your own and spend the leftover cash on a titty bar.

LG makes every product under the sun. You name it, LG probably mass produces it. LG also enjoys marketing bizarre combination of electronic equipment. Take this 8″ portable DVD player, the LG DP889. Little excessive on the numbers, don’t you think?

Well, this portable DVD player not only works as a normal CD player but it also happens to be a digital photo-frame. Now, when you aren’t watching The Dark Knight on it, you can gawk at family photos as you dream of days past. It’s compatible with a plethora of formats, including DVD video/DVD±R/DVD±RW/Audio CD/CD-R/CD-RW, ensuring nearly any burned disc will work. It’s priced at $200, making it the most diverse digital photo-frame in existence and while, not quite as compact and portable as the Panasonic LF-P968C DVD burner, it’s certainly getting there.

If you have an old Nokia 6100 lying around, put it to good use! Rip it apart, grab that LCD and follow Alex’s instructions on how to turn it into a picture frame that displays photos from Flickr. Don’t use Flickr? Then you’re just not very Huey Lewis & The News.

If DIY projects aren’t your forte, you may want to keep your distance as this one’s a real doozy. The finished product is pretty neat (to an extent), though, so give it a go if you have a free weekend.

If you’ve been looking for that special something to pick up for Mom on Mothers Day, we present the chance to incorporate their love for canines, 3D wiring projects, and gardening. The Dog Breed Topiary frames from the Gardeners’ Supply Store allows you to purchase a three dimensional model of the breed of your choice to fill with sphagnum moss and ivy for your own little garden fanaticism.

The frames don’t contain anuses, so there is no need to worry about the topiaries taking a shit on your prize winning lawn. Best of all, the $60 frames almost look better without all of that gardening shit inside of them. So you can just use it as a creepy lawn ornament.

When we send photos to our loved ones, we send them with the hope that they will show the photos in their home with pride, but what if they don’t have any open picture frames? They’ll eventually forget about the photos all together, throwing them in some mildly messy filing cabinet for postmortem separation.

GetFramed is a new concept which ships the photo for you, alone with a paper picture frame which can be constructed using the same envelope the photo was sent with. Just open the envelope, fold, and assemble and the 10 x 15 cm frame is ready to showcase your new ugly photo for the year. — Andrew Dobrow

Polaroid as we know it might be no more, but the concept of Polaroid will be with us nostalgia junkies forever. When we were kids, our parents would snap a few Polaroid’s and pin them right on our cork billboard to show off to any visitor brave enough to venture inside (this usually only happened once).

The Digital Polaroid allows you to not only pin it on a similar bored, but also use it as a Polaroid-themed digital picture frame. Long live instant film! Regardless if its not instant anymore. — Andrew Dobrow
