I love cool, inexpensive holiday gifts. So every day, for the next 12 days (even weekends), I’ll be featuring one under-$25 gift that I think is awesome. These gifts will make great stocking stuffers, friend gifts or co-worker gifts.
The first gift is a wireless camera remote for Apple devices. Simply download the app to your iPad or iPhone and then use the small remote to snap photos from a distance. This is a great gift for someone who likes to use their device to take family photos, but who actually wants to be in said photos.
I looked for something similar for readers who own Droids or other smartphones and couldn’t find one. So if you know of one, leave it in the comments.
Have a recipient who loves to take pictures? I also found this Instant Lab Photo Printer ($299) that turns smartphone photos into Polaroids, and this Locomography Film Scanner ($59) that allows those of us over the age of 25 to upload our developed film to our smartphones. I would also look into getting a camera lens attachment for your smartphone, like this universal telescopic lens from Eco-Fused ($69).
What a great gift idea! I might get one for my dad (and for myself while I’m at it.)
On the subject of dad gifts– does anyone have tie recommendations? Where to get a nice timeless one?
Check out Nordstrom’s gifts for men under $100. I picked up two ties last year – one for my dad and one for my brother. Both were classic in color and cut.

I just got my brother some stuff from them and it is all good quality and very affordable.
Love this idea!!
This will be a game changer in the world of selfies.
Which is the last thing we need!
I need a like button.

I just bought this and have the latest OS system for my iPhone5, and it won’t work with it. So then I downloaded the app on my iPad mini which isn’t updated, and it worked on there. I might return it. Depends how fast they update their app to work with the newer OS system for the iphone
Thanks for the report. Very helpful.
