Christmas list ideas( not camera/lens)

Towards Christmas there are usually a few threads started by people who join as they want to get a gift for the photographer in their life, but don't want to spend a huge amount.

So how about adding gift ideas for photographers, that we have bought or would like, that aren't cameras, or lens, or expensive equipment. Books, gadgets, silly things, whatever.

The Camera Mug

Have made strong hints about this finding it's way under the Christmas Tree, maybe a bit tacky but I love it and the Nikon version zooms in and out!

Camera Tee

A couple of people have asked before where I got my Camera Tee from, I got it from The Bold Banana on Etsy. Etsy, is great for all kinds of photography related bits and pieces too.

Re: Christmas list ideas( not camera/lens)

I ordered one of those mugs a month ago from Hong Kong E Bay but it hasn't arrived yet.
Thought it would be perfect for padding out my dad's stocking.

Re: Christmas list ideas( not camera/lens)

I'm hoping for a waterproof rucksack and/or jacket with pockets. I often go out walking for a few hours with the dogs and camera and want to be able to easily carry:
-camera stuff (probably no more than body & a couple of lenses, though at some stage I'd like a lightweight tripod..perhaps that's another idea for a gift!)
-dog stuff (water, bowl, poo bags etc)
-my stuff - drink & possibly an additional jacket)

I don't always like having my camera round my neck as if we're scrabbling over rough ground etc. I'm worried about smacking it against something (including my head!)

If anyone has any suggestions (on a fairly tight budget!) I'd be grateful
Kit 1
Canon 20d
Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
