Christmas Gift Ideas For Your Favorite Shutterbug

There’s one (or two, or three) in every family: Camera pointing, snap happy shutterbugs who don’t let a single event go by without properly documenting it from every angle.

You know them, you love them, and now you need to get them a Christmas gift.

Here are a few ideas that are sure to make your favorite shutterbug’s holiday picture-perfect:

ShutterBuddy: If you take a ton of photos of infants, then this is a must-have photo accessory. The black and white checkerboard patterned attachment fits snuggly around your camera and is designed to attract a baby’s attention long enough to snap a decent shot. The attachment supposedly uses the “science of infant vision development and pattern recognition” to capture an infant’s gaze. At $20 it’s cheap enough to give as a gift to a shutterbug or a parent-to-be, who loves taking pictures, and will want to get a million of his/her new baby.

Canvas Print: If you want to take your favorite photo to the next level, then a canvas print is the way to go. The gift features a picture printed on a piece of canvas (sizes vary), which can be hung on your wall as the perfect centerpiece to any room. Family portraits, stunning landscape shots or touching candid photos make excellent canvas prints. The gift is ideal for grandparents who love being surrounded by photos of their grandchildren.

Photo Mug: For friends and family members who live far away, consider creating a memorable photo mug featuring shots of them cuddling with you or your kids… or their kids, or their pets. Grandma and grandpa will love looking at the photo on the mug even more than drinking the tea inside. Photo mugs are also ideal for parents who spend a lot of time at the office. One look at their new cup may inspire them to come home earlier to spend time with the people whose mugs are featured on their photo mug.
