It’s springtime! That means the beginning of a slew of holidays, family events, and summer fun is just around the corner. The first of many to mark the occasion of days of endless sunshine and pretty, fragrant blooms is Mother’s Day: a day where we show moms everywhere just how much they are loved and appreciated. Because, you know, moms are basically superheroes.
Mother’s Day, the second Sunday in May, was proclaimed an official holiday by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. Traditional gifts, such as Hallmark cards and flowers, were the norm for decades. However, the 21st Century mom is tech savvy and always on the go. So, in between juggling twenty things at once, today’s mom, as she saves the day and continues to set the bar for #multitaskinggoals, doesn’t want to miss those special moments: first steps, recitals, birthday parties, and so on. Let’s just say, the typical Mother’s Day gift has been kicked up a few notches.
Here are our Top Five Mother’s Day gift ideas that are now available at Samy’s Camera.

What if digital photos could not just be easily and beautifully displayed; but, actually have the ability to connect people regardless of distance?
Meet the Memento Smart Frame.
In today's connected, hyper-social world, we take pictures to share life's major milestones, tell stories and create memories.

Described as a 4K ultra-high-definition photo frame, the Memento 35 In. 4K Smart Digital Photo Frame displays images that look like high-quality prints and seen as 4K ultra-high-definition television to produce the kind of sharp, vivid, and realistic-looking video quality in a digital photo frame, and what you get is the Smart Frame.
What’s our favorite Memento Smart Frame feature? Hands down: the Memento App, which allows one to load and change pictures from an iOS or Android device or a Windows PC and/or Mac computer. This allows long-distance family members to load photos so the folks back home won’t be left out of major life events, candid moments, or travel adventures.

Before the Nikon D3400 Digital SLR Camera, you chose your smartphone camera for convenience. Zooming was clumsy. Shooting in low light was nearly impossible. Capturing fast action was a game of luck. But after the D3400, you'll see that you were compromising image quality. That some of the greatest photos happen when the light is low. That fast action can be frozen in perfect clarity. And that a camera and a smartphone can work together in harmony to make the photos you share absolutely amazing.
