As many of you know, photography is like therapy for me. Capturing a beautiful image to enjoy forever makes me happy. And I always have a new piece of equipment on my wish list. So just in time for the holidays I've put together a list of the most wanted gifts by photographers with items priced from stocking stuffers at less than $10 up to splurgeworthy items.

Now for the photographer's wish list!
The Splurge
If your significant other, child, or someone you want to splurge or is just getting into photography, this camera with all of the accessories is perfect. It's a great starter set for anyone who wants to take their photography to the next level or begin to earn income with photography.
I have an older version of this camera and love it. I had a point and shoot before this one and didn't realize what I was missing! (Prices are correct as of this writing)
- Camera and Accessories (best value) $539.
- Camera alone $446.95
Under $100
For the stylish photographer, a vintage-inspired camera strap from Sarah at Feedback Straps would make a great gift. This one would be nice for men or women and she has lots of other vintage-inspired designs. To see the entire collection of camera straps, hop over to Feedback Straps
For savvy female photographers, how about a GORGEOUS camera bag from Lynn at Shutter Totes. They all have padded compartments inside that are designed to keep your equipment safe and protected. She has a wonderful selection of stylish camera bags for every taste. Hop over and see all of her stylish camera bags here.

Sometimes there's no place to set up a regular tripod. Enter the gorilla pod. We have one of these and have wrapped it around trees, poles, and railing to get the perfect shot. It's not for heavy cameras, but will work with point and shoot camera and lightweight DSLR.
- gorilla pod $39.95
Not exactly sure what they need? A Bay Photo Lab gift card is something every photographer would love the have. Their services range from high quality photo printing to metal prints to photo books and dozens of other products. They can even make your photos into Christmas ornaments!

- Beginner's Class $29.99
- landscape photography $29.99

To help stay focused, how about a cup of coffee in this fun mug?

Hang these camera ornaments of the tree for a smile. They're a perfect companion to a camera under the tree.
- Camera Ornaments (set of 2) $13.31
Here's aother fun one. This travel mug looks like a large camera lens. I love it!
