Help with Secret Santa gift idea

7 years 5 months ago #505917 by Ottis
My photography club has everyone doing secret santa gifts this year.  Gifts need to be under $50.  What are some good ideas you can think of, that would cost less than $50? 

Thank you guys!

Check out Etsy: you can support individual artists and get some neat handmade accessories or one of a kind prints. You shouldn't have much of an issue finding something for under $50. Win-win situation.

Photo album or one of those photo boxes with photos in it.

Color Checker card.  I'm surprised more people don't use them.

Seconding the idea Toby mentioned to look on Etsy. Rather than getting a piece of gear that someone in your club may or may not have already or like, you could opt for a neat piece of jewelry or a t-shirt or something.
