Sweet Gifts for Sweethearts

Tired of giving or receiving chocolates and roses for Valentines? Year in and year out it’s the staple gift that everyone flocks to. Like ties and socks and marshmallow Santas for Christmas, no one really wants the usual gifts but we all get them. It’s easy to resort to these kitsch gifts because everyone does.

It can be hard to step out of the box, so let Precision Camera & Video help! With tons of great photographic accessories and items to choose from (and even some stuff that’s not so photographic), we are sure to help you find that perfect Valentines gift. Whatever your price range and needs are, we have something to trump any box of grocery store chocolates.

There are tons of great items in our store to choose as a gift for your deserving Valentine, but here are a few quick ideas in case you need some help:

iPhone Accessories

Everyone and their mother has an iPhone today, especially in the photographic world. With such a magnificent camera and such a variety of uses, the iPhone makes a perfect walk-around camera. Why not get some accessory lenses or a great little tripod to accent your iPhone’s photographic abilities?

Memory Cards and Readers

What is the one thing that photographers are always in need of now days? More storage space! Generally inexpensive and a massive help to have around, this will make for an awesome quickie gift. Just make sure that you know if your photography lover uses SD or CompactFlash cards, as they are not interchangeable.

Cases, Straps, and Gear Bags

One of the more essential items in a photographer’s kit, as it carries everything in the kit! Going for something practical and utilitarian or a little more covert like the new Kelly Moore bags, we have a bag to suit any need. Don’t forget the straps too, as it is much easier to be a camera slinger when it has a strap to be slung by. If your significant other happens to shoot weddings for instance, straps and belts are a mandatory item in order to have cameras ready to cover every last important moment. For a bonus check out the very versatile Black Rapid modular straps and belts.

Joby Gorillapod

These may be one the smaller items, but they can make a big difference out in the field! Joby’s compact Gorillapods make using a tripod anywhere easy.

Classes

Learning is love! Treat your lover to some classes, and they will come away with a gift that never fades: the knowledge of how to handle unique situations and problems!

Giftcards

The one gift that never fails if you are not sure what to decide on. Just choose the denomination and let your lover make the choice for themselves!
