Saving and sending old photos?

I have hundreds of family photos. I can scan them and save to my laptop. One cousin would like to see some but here is the dilemma. I can transfer to a thumb drive but she doesn't have a computer of any kind. Save to a CD maybe? Need to check if she has something to take the CD. Thanks for your help.

You can see if she has a smart TV, it might be able to display from a thumb drive.

Buy her a (relatively) cheap photo frame and load the images on that.

Poor quality, but you could create a DVD (or even VHS!) slideshow.

Make a bunch of 3x5 prints and have the service send them to her directly.

Use a service like Mimeo and create a book for her. (On a Mac you can get a mimeo plug-in to work in Photos directly)

Thanks. I do have a stack of 4x6 photo paper. Will check to see what she has. BTW, for Christmas, got one of the photo frames that have a sort of PowerPoint setup.

"I do have a stack of 4x6 photo paper."

I meant having an online service print them and mail them to her directly, I suspect it would be cheaper than if you did it.

I see and thanks.
