If you cannot decide what gift to buy:

Let’s talk a little about buying gifts for a photography lovers. It is not easy. When you are shopping for a present you should consider its usefulness, the quality, as well as the surprise factor. If you ever heard the phrase “a gift that keeps on giving”, it refers to something that your recipient will use in the future many times, not just once. For example a photography book can be such a present. Even if they are a beginner photographer, a longer book which covers more advanced topics than simply using the Auto setting on a dSLR can keep on giving. It may take a long time before they outgrow it, or they may never do so. This is a great type of gift. Best of all, they will think of you years from now when they open it for reference or inspiration.

How about a useful photography gift? Think about your little (or big) photographer. What do they really need or want? Do they have any pain points which are obvious? Has their camera been annoying them because they have to carry it in their hand while holding that baby while a backpack strap camera holder or shoulder strap solve this problem? They would really appreciate how you thought of making their life easier (or more productive). Sure, there are times for novelty gifts, but a useful one cannot be beat.

Much like with any purchase and especially a present, consider if it is a quality item. For one, when you buy a quality present for your special person, you are saying they deserve quality. The more obvious reason for buying quality items is they will last longer, and the longer they last the longer the person will think of you. Also, since you are only buying them a present for a special occasion, or once a year for the holidays, it should be a quality item. You had time to save up and make this purchase special.

Let’s talk about surprises. What is more fun, something you know you will be getting or an item on your wishlist or a great surprise gift for a photography enthusiast? Ever since we were children, we loved surprises and we still do. This is not to say sometimes we get really surprised at the surprise (as in when someone gets us something really inappropriate), but with a well targeted photography gift that shouldnt be an issue. After all, how can you go wrong with something related to this cool field? Besides, you know your recipient so you are good to go.

One last thing, it is not a good idea to buy a present that someone might re-gift. This is not difficult with gifts for camera lovers because they are well targeted (and hopefully enjoyed), unlike some candle or generalized item, but keep this in mind nevertheless.

We hope that this guide of gifts you can give your photographer friend, loved one, or yourself has been helpful. We tried to keep most of the presents affordable so that they would be appropriate for any recipient. But you know your recipient best and that is why you will be making the ultimate choice which is why we have made the list rather long.

Online shopping for your photography enthusiast is great because you don’t have to spend days driving around looking for the perfect gift, standing in lines (especially around the holiday season), and dealing with in person returns. Many sites allow one click purchases as well as offering discounts, free next day delivery and also one click returns, where they provide you with a return label which may even be prepaid, so all you need to do is have a carrier pick it up or drop it off there. Our parents sure never had it that easy…
