Don't know what to get? Can't remember which camera someone has? Not sure what your friend needs to complete their kit? Well, if the rest of our guide does not help you out, we have a range of gift cards available. 

All of our gift cards can be emailed directly to your friend or loved one, on the date that you specify. This means they can wake up with a shiny new gift card in their inbox and a whole range of products to choose from.

Complete with everything you need, our beginner film sets are ideal for people new to film photography or looking for an upgrade from a disposable. Our beginner sets come with an automatic point and shoot camera, a roll of film, stickers, a developing discount, a greetings card for your own message, and a cheat sheet to help you get started.

Looking for an easy camera to get someone into film photography without breaking the bank? We have a good range of beginner film cameras for under £50. All of these cameras are ideal for beginners and people looking to upgrade from disposable cameras.

Want to get started with 35mm film, but don't want to spend lots on a camera? These are our recommendations for cameras under £100 that are worth the money. We always endeavour to have some high quality cameras for under £100, making film accessible for all. 

These also make very thoughtful gifts for someone who wants to develop their 35mm film photography skills, or just get started!

It can be hard to find small gifts for your photographer friends, so here are our stocking filler suggestions. 

Ever seen your friend slinging their camera around with no case? Make sure they don't damage their beloved camera by getting them a great vintage case.

Add some style to a camera set-up with a new, vintage camera strap. Whether you get one with great colours or great vintage branding, there are lots of wonderful vintage straps.

These gift ideas are for the experimental photographer in your life that is always looking for something new to try in front of their camera. Filters offer a way to change the colours and light coming into your images. Some, like the ones below, offer interesting and experimental effects.

If you are super not sure what to buy someone, why not get them a gift card? This allows them the freedom to purchase whatever they want in the future! Or they can use the gift card to get one of their 35mm film cameras repaired by us.
