I started writing this post last year, but it was a bit too near to Christmas and I don't think it would have helped people as they would have already finished their shopping! So I decided to try it a little earlier this year. I wanted to make a list of presents you can buy for your photographer friends pro or amateur! Most of them are just cute little themed gifts that someone with a passion for photography would really love and your purse will love them too, because they do not break the bank!
So if you are struggling to find a good present read on...
1) The first present is this quirky camera lens mug from gettingpersonal.com
Perfect for a cup of coffee on those long days editing at your computer! It's only £14.99 to which I don't think is too bad. I have seen this for sale in other places such as John Lewis and Amazon, so you might want to look around just in case.

2) I'm sure you all know someone who uses an iphone... lets face it, most of the world do- well if they love taking photos they probably feel a little limited by the straight forward camera, so why not buy them this 12x zoom lens which is only £18.99 from eBay.
3) How about a present for that chocolate loving photographer? I found this chocolate bar with a cool retro camera on the front, I really love it.
It is from Amazon, so if you are not happy about buying food or drink online I wouldn't recommend this, but the reviews of this product are really good and apparently the chocolate tastes great! £12.50 - you can't go far wrong!
4) If you're looking for something a little more personal why not use one of your own photos to create a gift, or maybe you could pick your favourite image that your friend has taken and put this on a gift. Either way it shows thought and you could give them a really useful and creative gift!
Places like http://www.photobox.co.uk can print your photos on cushions, jigsaws, magnets, canvases and so much more! There are so many photo printing websites and they all do something a little different and for different costs, why not have a browse and see what you can find :)
5) Something I like personally is photography inspired jewellery, and I have quite a lot of this as I have received it for gifts which is always nice. I have two really pretty camera necklaces, one is a Nikon and one is just a vintage camera, they are very pretty and original. You can purchase similar items online...
I like this one which is a bargain at £5.99 from http://www.seasonsonline.co.uk/crystal-camera-necklace-p6653/?gclid=CNCL_d-n57oCFcTLtAodeBEAOQ
6) Is your friend saving for some new equipment? This might just be the present for them. At £8.05 this camera money box is a really cool bargain present!
You can buy it from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sil-Antique-Camera-Money-Box/dp/B00A4EQED4/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1384536420&sr=8-24&keywords=gifts+for+photographers
7) My final idea is something again, I really like! It is a photo album in the shape of camera negatives. It is £9.99 and a really unique way for them to store their favourite photographs.
Obviously I wasn't sponsored or anything buy the companies that make these products.
I hope you like these suggestions and find them useful.
Happy Christmas shopping
Bye for now
Becky
