Gifts for Photographers
In case you’re somewhat new to my blog, you may have missed this post from last year. So, in an effort to pass this on to new readers (and as a nice “cheat” to reuse a blog post), here it is again: Christmas gifts for Photographers Under $25
————-
I started this list when my children asked for Christmas ideas from me. They want to get me something for my photography “habit”, hopefully under $25. As I started to come up with ideas, I thought that other photographers might find these ideas useful to pass on to family members who want some gift ideas from you…other than that new camera body or lens. I started looking on B&H to get an idea of prices, some of which I’ve added to give an idea of the price range. Of course you may want to be pretty specific to make sure you end up with the “right one”. (Hint: B&H has a great Wish List option that can be emailed to friends and family)
So in no particular order, here’s my list of ideas, all under $25, some even in the “stocking stuffer:” category:
Wireless remote <$15
Gel Sheets $5 each
USB thumb drive $5 – 20
Lens caps (replacements) $5- 20
Camera Strap $10 and up
Extra batteries (both AA and camera specific)
LCD screen protectors $20
UV lens filter $5
USB 2.0 Card Reader $5 – 20
Gray Card/target $10 – 25
Long USB cable (for tethered shooting) $7 – 20
A clamps $5 each, also sold in sets
Memory cards
Memory card holder
USB hub (there’s never enough USB ports on a laptop) $5 – 20
Photo paper
Head lamp flashlight (for the pre-dawn landscape shooters)
Cleaning Kits <$25
iTunes gift card (to buy photography apps)
Do you have other ideas? Please add them in the comments – just keep them under $25 (it’s harder than you’d think)
