Gifts for photographers for $60 and less
Artisanal scented candles. At-home spa treatments. Really nice socks. They`re the kinds of things we could buy for ourselves, and they`d probably be really nice to have. But they`re just barely on the wrong side of the practical/frivolous divide, so we keep making do with mediocre socks. This, my friends, is the Gift Zone: items that have practical use, but are luxurious enough that the recipient probably wouldn`t buy them for themselves.
If you`re shopping for a photographer and are looking for something a little special, something in the Gift Zone, you`re in the right place.
Peak Design Cuff
peakdesign.com | $30
Wrist straps are great. Should you dangle a whole DSLR from your wrist? Definitely not. Instead, we like them for those in-between times - when you`re not actively shooting, but want your camera in hand and at the ready. A quality wrist strap provides a little more security and support in those moments.
The Peak Design Cuff does all of these things, and is definitely nicer than the wrist strap that came with the compact camera you bought in 2007. It uses the company`s Anchor Links to attach easily and securely to a camera, and a metal loop can be used to cinch the strap tighter to the wearer`s wrist.
Cecilia memory card wallet
shopcecilia.com | $40
If the Digital Storage Police ever busted DPReview headquarters they`d find plenty of criminal offenses, like loose memory cards tucked into dusty desk drawers and backpack pockets. There`s a better way. An SD card wallet is a small step toward better storage organization, or a nice companion to an already functional digital storage workflow. Plus, it looks fancy. Cecilia is one of our favorite camera strap makers, and its leather SD card wallet looks snazzy in black, brown or charcoal.
Anyway, please don`t call the Digital Storage Police on us. We`re serious.
