The holidays are over, and if you’re anything like me you’ve probably got dozens, if not hundreds, of digital photos stored on your computer right now. If you’re also like me, you probably worry from time to time about losing them. Backing them up to CDs can be time consuming and tedious with much of the software I’ve tried.
So I was thrilled when Picture Keeper sent me their little gadget to try. It’s a fantastically simple way to safeguard irreplaceable digital photos. You just plug the little USB device into your computer, and it does all the work for you. It finds all of the pictures stored on your computer and saves them safely to the device. The next time you plug it in, it only pulls in new photos so you never had to worry about duplicates! You can even schedule back up reminders on their site, which this busy mom definitely needs.
The Picture Keeper comes in two sizes, 4GB which holds 4,000 pictures and 8GB which holds 8,000 pictures. If you’re not sure which size you would need to store your photos, check out their tutorial.
Through January Picture Keeper is offering readers $15 off with the code DealForMoms. This makes the 4GB Picture Keeper only $25! I think that’s a price well worth the peace of mind that comes from knowing my photos are secure outside of my computer (assuming one of the kiddos doesn’t run off with the device, LOL).
Better yet, Picture Keeper has graciously given me an 8GB Picture Keeper to give away to one lucky Deal Seeking Mom Reader. I love it when companies let me share these fabulous products with you all!

I would definitely store wedding photos and also photos of the scans that I’ve made of old photos. My grandfather just passed away, and I want to be able to safely save photos of him.
Renee Evenson
My son is the picture taker in our family. This would make a great gift for him.
Kelly
I would definitely be backing up those precious photos of my 3 boys. I had an external hard drive hiccup a year or so ago that lost 3 years worth of photos. I hate the thought of something happening to my photos…

Wow, I’d back up the photos of my kids from when they were little… well, the ones I have left! I had to move suddenly several months ago and (quite sadly) a couple of their baby albums got left behind. I would LOVE to scan the rest of them onto a drive so I don’t have to worry about the same thing happening again!

I would hate to lose ANY of my photos. But I would especially hate to lose those of my Dad and my kids, when they were little. My Dad passed away in 2005. All photos are precious! Thanks for the giveaway!

This would be a great addition to my family!! 2 years ago our computer crashed and we lost the first year of my daughter. YIKES!! I try to back up but its time consuming and never seem to stay caught up. The pictures of my kiddies would be the first pictures saved! What a great giveaway!

his would be great to store all of the pictures i have. I haven’t found the time to scrapbook since having my second child and have cd and pictures saved everywhere.
Carey
I spent hours and hours scanning very old (like black and white!) family photo album photos into my computer. Not only are the photos priceless, but if anything happened to them on my computer – I would have wasted somewhere around 23 hours of time! I’d definitely put them on this device. I guess I really need one! Pick me!
