It can be difficult to choose the right Christmas present for a photographer or a photography lover. This is particularly true if you’re not really into this art and aren’t familiar with the equipment and accessories that are used in taking pictures. Fortunately, you can make the task easier by opting for gifts that have been tried and tested by shutterbugs and have gained lots of thumbs-ups.
We’ve listed some of these presents below:
CAMERA LENS MUG
You’ve probably already seen these around: coffee mugs that look like they were repurposed camera lens. These containers have incredible details that make them look like the real thing, and they can even fool professionals from afar. Get one for your favorite photographer who needs his daily dose of caffeine before he can get any job done.

LENSPEN LENS CLEANING SYSTEM
Any photographer knows how irritating oily fingerprints are, how unavoidable they can be, and how difficult they are to remove. You can help out the photographer in your life by giving him the LensPEN Lens Cleaning System. It features a patented carbon formula that’s highly effective in removing amino acids that are found in fingertips, leaving lenses and other screens crystal-clear and ready for use.

THE IPHONE TELEPHOTO LENS
If your pal loves taking pictures on his iPhone, why not surprise him with this lens? It gives the phone’s camera an additional 12x zoom, allowing the user to take clearer, sharper shots and capture subjects that are far away. The best thing about this is that it’s small enough to fit in a coat or jeans pocket, so there’s no need to lug around a gigantic lens.

HARD-FROSTED BACK CASE FOR IPHONE
This is another great gift for iPhone users. The case doesn’t really do anything photography-wise, but it does make an iPhone look like a Leica M9 Digital Range Finder Camera. The case is incredibly lightweight, so it makes your loved one’s smartphone look fantastic without adding a lot of bulk.

EYEFI MOBI MEMORY CARDS
Wi-Fi connectivity has made photographers’ lives easier since it allows them to effortlessly transfer photos from their camera to their computers and mobile devices. But, before this can happen, they must first manually choose the pictures they want to transfer then set up the connection between their devices. These steps can be skipped, though, with the Eyefi Mobi SDHC cards, which automatically transfer photos to a pre-designated PC, smartphone, or tablet.

BLACK RAPID RS-SPORT STRAP
Those who use DSLRs know how heavy they can be, especially when they’re attached to large lenses. If your loved ones have complained about the weight of these cameras, you’ll want to give them the Black Rapid RS-Sport Strap this holiday season.
This comes with an extra-wide pad to evenly distribute the camera’s weight on the user’s shoulder and prevent the strap from digging in. It also comes with a specially designed underarm strap that provides stability during difficult shots.

SPIDERHOLSTER BLACK WIDOW SPIDER CAMERA HOLSTER
Camera straps are useful, but they’re not the only choices out there. If your loved one is looking for something new, why not give him a camera holster for Christmas? This helps prevent neck, shoulder, and back pain since the camera is attached to his hip and not hanging around his neck.

TAMRAC ANVIL PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR BACKPACK
There’s nothing wrong with using ordinary backpacks, but avid shutterbugs will tell you how freeing it can be to use a bag that’s built with photographers’ needs in mind. The Tamrac Anvil Photography Gear Backpack series is one example.
The backpacks in this series come with large compartments and transparent pockets to help users easily organize all their gear. The bags are available in different sizes, so buyers can choose a model that best suits their needs.
