Gather and gift. It’s easier said than done, especially during the holiday season. With to-do lists looming – meal planning, card mailing, gift wrapping – gathering gets overlooked. To take one thing off your plate during this busy season, the team of photographers at Reminis created this holiday gift guide. Here’s a curated list of thoughtfully perfect gifts for the photographers and photo enthusiasts in your life.
Standing Frames from Framebridge
Why do we love them?
These solid oak frames are as simple as they are beautiful. Crafted from solid oak, they come ready to display. Hang them on a wall or stand them on a shelf–it’s your choice! The Reminis team particularly loves the “Alto: 11×13” style that comes with a stunning blue gift box. That’s one less thing for you to gift wrap!
Why do we love it?
With thousands of vintage photographs to choose from, the Condé Naste Print Shop is a time capsule of the twentieth century. The online collection has something for every photo lover in your life. Our curators spotted an iconic photo of Audrey Hepburn wearing a Givenchy hat, photographed by legendary fashion photographer Cecil Beaton. Then there’s a 1960s-era photo of Julia Childs’ kitchen, which feels both timeless and modern. You’ll discover a range of print and framing options, all starting under $150.
Still Novel’s Travel Art Print
Why do we love it?
Still Novel is a woman-owned company that offers large format photo prints that incorporate elements of story and design, transforming your photo into a work of art.
The products are easy to create in minutes using their ingenious design tools. Our curators enjoyed the Travel Print because it incorporates trip details, traveler details, where you stayed and even detailed map elements. Prints start around $65.
Why do we love it?
If you know someone who loves using their iPhone to capture moments with their kids, then Moment’s “Mobile Lenses” are a great gift option. Moment pioneered high-quality glass lenses for mobile photography and is consistently ranked as best-in-class by pro photographers. Best of all, each lens in their lineup is meticulously crafted with a well-designed mounting system. Their starter kit starts around $149.
So this holiday season, slow down. Gather near. Let your heart be light. Make memories. From the touching and sentimental to the utterly hilarious, a gifted photo will absolutely be a unique gift. After all, maybe memories are the only gifts that rmatter.
