Aura frames come in a beautiful gift-ready box. Although the frame is a great gift in itself, you can use our Gift Preparation options to further personalize it with a virtual gift message and pre-loaded photos that will appear on the frame once the recipient connects it to their WiFi network.
If you ordered a frame already, please have a look at this article that will guide you through the different options that are available to you.
Before you purchase: choose the best gift option
Note: The Virtual Gift Preparation is only available to US orders submitted on auraframes.com. In order to prepare the frame as a gift for a recipient that lives outside of the US, please order the frame from a retail partner and have it shipped to your address first.
| Note: if you order a frame from a retail partner and ship it directly to the recipient, you will not be able to use any Gift Preparation options. However, the frame will still be a great present! |
