If you’re still looking for a few thoughtful (and practical!) photography stocking stuffers, I’ve got you covered.
I put together some last-minute stocking stuffers for photographers that are easy to grab and guaranteed to be a hit. Whether you’re shopping for a friend or need ideas to casually drop into your own family group chat, this list has something for everyone.
Last-Minute Photography Stocking Stuffers 🎄
1. AirTag
Never lose your gear again. Pop one of these into your camera bag so you can track it no matter where you go. It’s small, affordable, and an absolute no-brainer for peace of mind.
2. Webcam Cover
Ever had your camera turn on during a Zoom call before you were ready? Same. This webcam cover is simple but genius—you slide it open when you’re ready to go on camera and keep it closed when you’re not. Privacy = protected.
3. Mini Flash Diffuser
People are always asking me about my flash diffuser. While I’m a big fan of bouncing flash off walls and ceilings, this budget-friendly diffuser is a total game-changer for those tricky reception shots. When I’m on the dance floor with no surfaces to bounce light off of, I just aim my flash straight up, and the diffuser does the rest—creating soft, flattering light that perfectly illuminates my subject.
4. Acrylic Blocks
These acrylic blocks are my go-to for capturing stunning detail shots on wedding days. They’re perfect for lifting parts of an invitation suite to add depth and dimension to the image. I’ve found they’re just the right height to create a clean, beautiful contrast when photographing invitations or other paper details.
5. Macro Filters
Forget splurging on a macro lens—these macro filters are affordable, easy to use, and deliver incredible results. Most of the detail shots on my website? Shot with these filters.
6. Blue Light Blocking Glasses
For anyone spending hours editing photos, these blue light blocking glasses are a game-changer. They help reduce eye strain and headaches from staring at screens all day.
7. Memory Card Case
This waterproof SD memory card case is hands-down one of the smartest investments I’ve ever made. It keeps my memory cards organized, protected, and secure no matter where I’m shooting!
8. Portable Charger
I never head to a wedding without mine. A portable charger lives in my bag—it’s a lifesaver when you’re shooting all day and your phone starts running low on battery.
9. Mini Video Light
This is the perfect stocking stuffer. I use mine during nighttime portraits and sparkler exits to make sure every shot is beautifully lit. It’s small, portable, and basically my secret weapon for after-dark photos.
10. SSD Portable Hard Drive
Okay, this one’s more of a splurge, but it’s worth every penny. If you’re anything like me and prefer editing on an external hard drive to keep your computer running smoothly, an SSD external hard drive is a must. Regular hard drives just can’t keep up with editing tools like Lightroom, so if your computer slows down while editing, it might be time to invest in an SSD portable hard drive.
That’s the list—quick, easy, and full of photography stocking stuffers that any photographer will love!
