Yes, it's that time of year again, where gift idea lists multiply like holiday bunnies. We're no exception. We've tried to make this gift idea list simple--nothing requiring sizing or items for specific equipment. That way, you can print this article out and give it to your favorite gift giver (a yellow highlighter would help) or heck, just buy the stuff for yourself.
Here goes:
Gifts Under $25
Pelican Memory Card CaseModels for CF cards or SD cards with the same fancy features as the high end Pelican equipment cases. $19.95
At only $9.95, it comes with 4 2700mAh batteries. You'd pay more than $10 just for the batteries themselves!
OPG LED Lighted CapOK, it's kind of geeky (well, WAY geeky) but invaluable for dark morning setups or for showing your family just how strange you have become. $14.95
LensCoat FlashKeeper
A great neoprene case to hold your flash and extra batteries. $24.95
Gifts Under $50

Jobu Design Triple Axis Bubble Level
A new product that lets you keep your bubble level working for both portrait or landscape mode. $24.95
Honl Flash Modifiers
From colored filters to snoots to grids, the stuff from Honl takes your flash to another level. If you don't know what a "snoot" is, you should at least check it out so you can use it in everyday conversation. $9.95 to $29.95
Gifts Under $100
Black Rapid Camera Straps
The hottest strap on the market (no pun intended--they just won the "Hot One" award from Professional Photographer Magazine). $53.95 to $64.95

Ultimate Photo Gifts You May Have To Buy For Yourself
Gura Gear Kiboko Bag
We can't say enough about this bag in a short amount of space. The best photo backpack on the market: lightweight (only 4 lbs), unique, spacious and essential for international travel. A must have. $399
Benro Travel Angel
We just picked up the Travel Angel tripod line, and it is impressive. Folds 180 back for incredible pack-ability. Several models to choose from, each with a ballhead. $249.95 to $481.95
Induro Gimbal Head
If you shoot with long lenses a gimbal head makes pointing your lens a breeze. A new entry to the market, Induro saves over $100, is a better performing gimbal head, has more features and and shows an incredible fit and finish. We are selling our existing heads and switching to this one. $488.95
Gitzo Ocean Traveler
A stainless steel and carbon fiber tripod that lives for salt water. Expensive, but if you shoot in salt, you will find this tripod indispensable. $1050
Gitzo Jackets
OK, we said we would stay away from products with sizes, but we just cant resisit this one. Available in fleece and in goretex, these are the ultimate photography jackets. More nooks and crannies than any vest, padded shoulders and so warm you can't put them on inside. An incredible luxury gift for yourself. $349.95 to $449.95
