Christmas is coming, the time to think about gifts for our loved ones or on our wish list (in this case, gifts for photographer, or photographer). Sometimes we lose the illusion and we don't know what to ask for or what to give. We want to hit, surprise, excite ... and we want others to succeed with our gifts. There is nothing sadder than spending the next few days changing gifts (that two-size pajamas smaller, that perfume of which you already have two boats or that reminds you of your ex, the book that you read last summer and on top of that you didn't finish like, the huge sweater or the small slippers). To avoid this, today I bring you a long list of gift ideas, whether you have to give a gift to a photographer or if it is you who has to make the letter to be given to you. At the end of the article you will find a bonus, in case you prefer to search by budget or by type of photographer. There I go:

4. TRIPOD
Not every photographer needs a tripod, you can live without it, except ... you want to take night or long exposure photography, or self-portraits;). In that case, yes, you need one.

9. HARD DISK
For those with fast finger and those with millions of accumulated photos and no longer have space on the computer. Free space is like finding a source of crystal clear water in the middle of the desert;).10. EXTRA BATTERY
For those who complain continuously that the battery is short-lived, or that at the most inopportune time the camera is turned off. I recognize that it has happened to me many times, so I think they should not be missing on this list. If you decide on this gift and want to know more about extra batteries, click here .11. STRAP
Customizing your camera strap is a necessity that comes with time. Either for comfort (fundamentally) or for aesthetics, but there comes a time in the life of every photographer in which the strap that comes with the camera does a little damage (to the neck and / or sight). That's why I add it to this list and, for that very reason, we dedicate an article to it in its day.12. MEMORY CARD CASE
Not suitable for those who only have one card. But with several cards and, above all, for the most disorganized and / or clueless, a card case is ideal for placing a little order and not losing cards and photos; like, for example, this one.13. MEMORY CARD
If the complaints are aimed at the lack of memory, if more than once you have had to delete photos before you can shoot, the perfect gift can be a replacement memory card. Tips to buy one you have in this article.14. FLASHLIGHT

19. SMARTPHONE PRINTER
Another way to get Polaroid type photos but with your smartphone is with a printer like this. Print the photos of the mobile as when you were little and left the camera at the time. Do you remember the emotion? Do not? Then you are very young20. CAMERA CASE
Some people have a compact, an EVIL or a reflex with a pancake to fit in the bag or in the bag that is usually carried on top. They don't need anything else, they carry a light equipment and that's enough for them. The problem (and I know from my own experience) is that it is not highly recommended to carry the camera bumping into the keys, the mobile phone or any other object with which you have to share space. A case becomes a necessary element to protect the camera of any kind. There are many types, here you can find the most suitable for yours (or yours;)).21. CLEANING KIT
