Need help finding US and EU compatible Digital Picture Frame (alien.top)

I’m wanting to get a digital picture frame for my in-laws, who live in Poland, for Christmas this year. I’m trying to find one I can get and setup here in the US with pictures of their grandkids. Then mail it to them and have it essentially plug and play when they get it. Are there ones that come with multiple plugs, or one I can also get the EU compliant power cable additionally?

Pick one, then email the company about buying a 220 power supply. Often the only difference these days is the plug part which often snaps on.

Alternatively you can just buy a generic power supply that meets the power and plug polarization requirements.

I often make my own from old power supplies.

Get a nixplay from their local Amazon shipped direct. You can then load the images from your end.
