You've probably seen small digital smart frames before, but you may not know that Lenovo released a much larger 21-inch version last year. The smart frame is made to hang on a wall and display family photos or digital art. It's a fun idea, but the launch price of $400 felt rather steep for what it was, and pricey even when it settled at $300. Right now, the large smart frame is down 50% to $200 at Lenovo which is a much more attractive proposition for a piece of tech -- and it makes a great gift.

The brilliant Lenovo smart frame has 16GB of memory and Bluetooth connectivity to control images remotely. It can rotate your favorite photos, which you can load from your device, or keep one image steady, like your favorite piece of digital artwork. The screen is antiglare with 1920 x 1080 full high definition (FHD).
