The Hahnel 5-in-1 cleaning kit is a pretty good place to start - perfect for cleaning cameras, camcorders, lenses, spotting scopes, screens & binoculars!
If your loved one shoots on film then there is no such thing as too much. Check what type of camera they have - is it a standard 35mm film camera or the more unusual 120 medium format?
For those shooting on a digital camera a memory card may sound boring but for the photographer they are an essential tool and always handy to have more! We have some great discounts on SD cards at the moment - this 16GB memory card by Lexar is slightly over the £10 budget but worth the extra £2 for the value as it's currently less than half price!

Take a walk on the wild side with the OpTech double sling strap that is an excellent addition for anyone who carries either two cameras or a camera and binoculars for a comfortable & secure hold that offers quick and easy access to each.
Filters are a fantastic gift and really help take someone photography to the next level. ND filters are a great gift for a landscape photographer. They will help create a balance in the contrast with darker, moodier colours that a truer to the colour balance in the visible spectrum. Save £26 with the Cokin Gradual ND Filter Kit, now just £29.
There is nothing worse than getting caught out with a dead battery when you've waited hours for the perfect shot - and it has happened to the best of us!
Now the price and capabilities of these vary wildly but a shutter release cable or a wireless remote control is a fantastic tool, especially for anyone who wants to experiment with shutter speed and avoid the inevitable movement when using the shutter release button!
