CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

An Aura Carver is a Christmas gift you can start making before it arrives. Pick photographs from ordinary days alongside the milestones: the backyard picnic, the baby asleep on someone’s shoulder, and the first snow from the kitchen window. Aura offers a gift setup option so you can prepare photos in advance.

Start with a short photo collection

Choose 15 to 30 images that tell a story. Mix older and recent pictures, and ask one relative to supply a few you’ve never seen. The Carver is a landscape frame, so include plenty of horizontal photos. Check the crops on group pictures so nobody gets squeezed off the edge.

Plan who will help with setup

The recipient needs Wi-Fi and access to power. If tech setup usually falls to you, offer to help connect it while you’re together. Ask the recipient before inviting relatives to add pictures, and agree on who should have access.

Make the first photo count

Pick an image that gives the gift context immediately. A group photo from last Christmas or an old family snapshot can do that in one glance. The handwritten note can say who sent the pictures and how you’ll keep adding to the collection.
