Photography Stocking Stuffers

[MarkBarbieri]

What do you suggest for people looking for a few photography related trinkets for XMas?

Some of my thoughts:


A hot shoe bubble level
A mini-tripod, like a gorilla pod
A better strap, like an OpTech or Black Rapid
A white balance lens cap
If they print, a sample pack of interesting papers
A sample pack of gels for their flash (assuming they have an external flash)

One thing I find useful is a small flashlight. One of those pocket sized ones. It comes in handy when you are trying to set up the camera on a tripod at night. Especially when your eyes are getting older and can't see well when it is dark.

Good suggestion. I use an LED headlamp for that. It's nice because it doesn't require another hand.

Filters, lens cleaning pen/cloth, rocket blower, extra battery, memory cards or my personal favorite...a gift card to my favorite photography store/site so I can pick up whatever I want. :)

I put a hot shoe bubble level on my list for this year, something tells me DH will find it unnecessary and it won't end up in my stocking...in which case I'll just buy it for myself! Isn't that how it always works in a marriage anyway? ;)
