Cheap Last Minute Holiday Gifts For Photographers

Price: $10 to $50

Every photographer should have one or more pairs of camera-friendly gloves. Keep them in your camera bag, in the car and in your jacket pocket – anywhere you might need them. It doesn’t even have to be that cold for them to be valuable. If you’re out in the elements long enough, your hands will get cold. A couple of the most practical and inexpensive options are fingerless wool gloves and mittens that flip back to let your fingers out. When it’s really cold, thin glove liners keep your fingers completely covered and still give you decent movement. Over the past couple of years glove companies have also introduced touchscreen-friendly gloves designed to allow you to use your smartphone without taking your gloves off. Chemical hand warmers are also a good stocking stuffer. They’re very inexpensive and work really well.

You should be able to find fingerless gloves and mittens at your local outdoor store or online outdoor gear dealers like REI. You might even be able to buy fingerless work gloves at your local hardware store. Chemical hand warmers are nice, too. They’re inexpensive and standard equipment for cold weather outdoorsman and skiers. They also make great stocking stuffers!
