Gift Ideas For the Photo Enthusiast

Kristy Korcz — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 04:00:18 PST

So you've got a friend who's always got a camera in your face. Shopping for these types can be a snap since there's always some sort of fun, functional, or essential item that they could use in their camera bag. For example, although you can't use the Lens Cap Mug ($25) for taking pics, your shutterbug can use it to sip their favorite hot beverage at home, or at their favorite cafe. Plus, how cool is this thing?!

More gift ideas after the break.
