Holiday Swag 2016
The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value ~Charles Dudley Warner
I love mid-December because Mint Purple Studio is wrapping up end of the year client work and business housekeeping. It’s time to plan for 2017 – who, what, when to shoot and nail down what fun photography continuing education classes to take. Also very importantly, a few weeks of much needed staycation time with the family as well as holiday gift shopping!
Speaking of holiday shopping, I stumbled across the above items which quickly became this photographer’s favorite holiday swag. These are the items that make me break a smile, feel warm inside and get inspired for my next shoot. Plus they would probably make great gifts for a photographer friend too! hint hint….just sayin…
- Click Magazine | hands down the best magazine to be inspired by other fabulous women photographers, learn photography techniques, important business tips and preview the latest camera gear
- Wooden Anagram Toy Camera | a nice addition to any neatly curated wooden toy camera collection that brings back nostalgic memories of the retro instagram app logo
- Provence (Aqua) Camera Strap by Bloom Theory | a sturdy, yet comfortable camera strap that also functions as a beautiful scarf in our favorite color
- Social Circles Business Cards | awesomely designed circular business cards that come in a practical yet elegant metal snap case. If you are an expecting mommy and spot me, be sure to ask for one of my social circle cards which give you a 5% discount on your newborn photoshoot session fee!
- Alex and Ani Charity by Design Charm Bangles | super adorable and fashionable jewelry where proceeds above a certain amount are donated to a designated charity. What a great gift that also gives back!
