Buying for a photographer

Photographers are specific about gear. Check the camera system and mount before you buy a lens or an accessory. Experiences and prints are safer than equipment you guess at.

A keepsake of your story is a picture of your own.

Buying for your crush

A gift for a crush should be low-pressure. Keep it light and small, and pick something that matches what you already know about them.

Avoid anything expensive or intimate, which can make a first move feel heavy.
