Gift ideas for photographers under $50?

9 years 4 months ago #412826 by Mike Ayrouth
I just got back from my photography Meetup and in 2 weeks we will have our holiday gift exchange.  It's a $50 white elephant.  I'm not sure what to get.  If you had to get a gift for a photographer and it needed to be under $50.  What would you get?  

Thanks for the help.

For that budget you get could a Lens Pen, a Rocket Blaster, and something else. Think "cleaning kit" perhaps?

Gift card at B&H or Adorama for the $50.  That would work with me if you want to pass one on.
